BigWI Posted May 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think I know the answer but I will ask anyway. Every Casino I have ever played in gave you free drinks while playing. I assume that is NOT the case on board a cruise ship (specifically the Crown)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that is NOT the case on board a cruise ship (specifically the Crown)? Sometimes the casino host will comp drinks with significant play, but that is very much the exception.

alexspepa Posted May 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2014 it's not like you can stroll over the the casino next door that might be handing out free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted May 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Land based casinos are very large and have competition. So they need to draw in customers with things like free drinks. On a ship, the casinos are small and there is no need to lure in customers with alcohol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamomo Posted May 2, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The only times I have ever gotten a free drink on Princess is when I had a win of over $1000, which has happened a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 nut n florida Posted May 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I would not say they r free but on carnival they offer you free drinks once you have reached 1000 points during the cruise. I have reached that level a couple of time and they do give you free drinks. Any time you r in the casino playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaCBear Posted May 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2014 A bit off-topic, but sadly casinos here in Ontario do not serve free drinks. I think it's against the law - we have some strange liquor laws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's against the law - we have some strange liquor laws! Probably to protect those with no self control. I drink very little when gambling.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 3, 2014 One time we each got a free drink...my mother-in-law and I had just entered the slot tournament, and the casino host heard that it was my mother-in-law's birthday. She "bought" us all drinks. :-) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcvt Posted May 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 3, 2014 This thread makes me want to fly to Vegas next weekend. Last time I was there, I got free drinks just for standing near the roulette table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custompcsys Posted May 3, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Only time I got a free drink at the casino was when I came in 2nd in the slot tournament. I think they felt sorry for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusywillow Posted May 3, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The only time I got a free drink was after I won a $4000 jackpot on the last night of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
