I've been saying that for a long time. What happens when all those gold cards are Platinum? To me all of the cards are by color. Silver is the new gold.
It's a Platinum perk. They're not doing the tournaments, so they give you $25 in free play. You have to go to the casino desk and ask for it. On some ships they just give you cash.
I have friends on the Vista now. They where told that the problem is fixed. I don't know if it's a permanent or temporary fix. They were doing over 20 knots. So, maybe it's fixed.
