Blue Chip Club promo play

[peyeet]

I've been scouring the forums and the internet for a straight answer, but it doesn't seem anyone has posted it -- I know all the stats from my last cruise from the Casino Host except for how much promo play I can expect on the next cruise. On my most recent one I wagered around $750,000 and gained some 90,000+ points on the Cruise, almost entirely on Blackjack and going from 0 points to near Sapphire in one go. Does anyone know how this would translate into promo play?

 

For those curious, I did call into the BCC and they did provide me with future offers of a Sky Suite on any future cruise -- any ship, any length, any time, with only taxes and fees to be paid.

Around 3-5k in promo chips. I've earned similar points strictly on table games.

That's good to hear. Were you able to find out before you got onboard at all, or was it after? I'm not sure if it's worth carving time out of my schedule to go on a cruise since I wasn't planning on it, but since that's the first real number I've heard it'll make it easier to go

You will only know after going to the cage. They do everything on a spreadsheet. Blue Chip has no access from what I gathered.

So how does the ship then determine, don't they get the information from BCC?  I would also hope that every ship uses the same calculations?

The Blue Chip front office doesn't have access to the calculations. I assume the calculations are all done by the Blue Chip coordinators who then sends the excel file to the Ship's Casino Host.

Update -- the person I contacted through BCC phone line got in contact with the host on my last sailing and was able to calculate my next cruise's free play... $1,070. Nothing to laugh at but also definitely much less than I was hoping. Thanks for the info everyone!

That's seems pretty low. I'm guessing non-Sapphire played a part. 

 

Edit: Just checked, Amethyst is only 5% while Sapphire gets 10%.

Update to the update -- Called in and was able to find that in all, BCC was willing to comp a third person on the sky suite, or $9,000 off the total cost of the cabin. Also, they were willing to upgrade me to Sapphire so I will be getting the $2,140 in free play.
