Beneficial Casino Cruise Inquiries

Recommended Posts

My wife love's going to the casino on cruises, but we are always wondering which cruise line casinos stand out from others.  

  • Bigger
  • Diverse
  • Free Offers
  • Incentives
  • Tournaments
  • Better Table Games
  • Better Slots
  • Current Slots
  • Much More Excitement

Any suggestions would be helpful.  My wife is retiring soon and hopefully soon the cruise lines will open up for us to venture.

 

Thank you all for your input in advance,

We do all 3-Princess, Royal, & Carnival. Their casino programs are different, but we like all 3.

Royal has offers, free drink card,  levels for your yearly play, &  bonus points to use on ship. Carnival has offers, free drink card, casino groups on specific weeks & ships-such as premiere, special edition, elite, & ultra. Princess has offers, & their VIP casino group on specific weeks & ships. No drink card, but if you play alot, you can get to their free drinks, grats, & internet program.

You can read about each on their websites, or call their casino depts & ask. Princess & Carnival have more ships regularly out of California. My husband played only the tables in the past, but now has played both, since you get more points faster on the slots.

I cruise NCL, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and MSC. I find there's pros and cons to each. As a drinker Royal Caribbean is easy to get prime status for comp drinks but I don't enjoy the clientele. NCL has a great mix I get top shelf booze and specialty dining perks etc.. but they charge i believe 20.00 a day for booking comps and offers. I like Holland America because there's more older folks and no fees besides port fees and taxes but unless on a vip offer the drink may not be included, but the food is good and i love the music venues also I'm 40 but like to have more civilized and quieter people around and in staterooms so HAL is good for that. Their casino program seems to be decent to get comp rooms and they have cool VIP cruises. MSC don't care for too much, tight on comps and arrogant cruisers usually.

 

you should really try all and see what works for you and play lots with that line.

I have cruised Princess, Royal Caribbean and NCL and NCL without question is my preferred line for casino cruising. Atmosphere is great, comps are excellent and the table/machine selection are excellent as well.  I have been all the different tier levels in their players club and they treated me well from the bottom tier to the top tier. If you have the chance to give them a try I would highly recommend it!

HHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO gkthorn:  This is what I have found.  Been on six cruise lines.  The lines owned by the Carnival Corp. CCL, are all interconnected.  Don't go on NCL or RCCL anymore.  You will get better deals if you go on cruise lines that are owned by the same company.  Do some research because some lines have  taken some games from the casinos that you may like.  Other than that have fun and enjoy yourselves.
