It's a comp offer, not Let's Make a Deal.  Princess can offer whatever itineraries they want, take it or leave it.  If you're not getting offers for an itinerary you want, either Princess isn't giving comp offers for it or you're not as much of a high roller as you say.  If you don't like the choice of the Princess comp offers, take another line's comp cruise, but you're not going to get a different result by coming back and posting the same question, which people have already answered, again and again. 

 

If you're such a high roller, seems like it shouldn't be an issue paying $1100 for the cruise you want if it's so "cheap".

This 9-day cruise is inexpensive.  Imagin traveling to Japan and Korea, 2 countries for $1,100.  

 "Travel for free" is my hobby.  I collect credit card points by applying credit cards (Chase Reserve, AMEX Platinum, Business Plus ...)  I have 1.5 million Chase and AMEX Point that I can transfer to over 20 airlines and major hotels.  I always travel business because that's the best use of these points.  Travel to Japan is 80,000 ANA points. I also collect Hotel points by applying for credit cards.  I always stay for free using hotel points.  

I started exploring "Cruising free" a few years ago.  The easiest way for me is to show them that I am a gambler.  It works the same with land Casinos.  The problem is that the odds on the slot machines and video poker machines on cruises are very bad.  I may loose more money than the cost of the cruise.  I play mostly Blackjack and craps (dice) to generate action to qualify.  Gambling is my hobby.  I try to find ways to break even with the house.  I am a BJ counter.  I got kicked out of casinos a few time.  I have a homemade crap table at home that I practice and experiment with different dice set and shooting skills.  I can at least breakeven at the crap table.  

I can affort this $1,100 cruise, but it is fun to see if I can get it for free.  I found out that MSC Cruise also run an almost identical tour.  I emailed MSC Casino with my qualification and 7-Star status.  They responded within 48 hours asking me for casino Win/Loss statement.  I sent it to them this morning.  I think I am getting closer on a free cruise to Japan.

I get it.  I too chase deals, I've made a living for 20 years reselling what I buy with mani's.  

 

I also get free cruises, not always with princess, but always free.  I get ultra's from carnival and have 5 booked for this year. 

 

Hubs doesn't fly well, so we rarely leave from any port other than SF.  I'll happily take the same itinerary over and over as long as it gets me on a ship.

I think that you'll be happier with MSC.

 I found out that MSC Cruise also run an almost identical Japan cruise.  I emailed MSC Casino my  7-Star status and offers from others.  They responded within 48 hours asking me for casino Win/Loss statement.  I sent my 2 years statement from Caesars. 

This is the update:

2 days later, MSC offered me the 9-day Japan cruise I requested.  Interior cabin stateroom.  I can pay extra for upgrades to better cabin.

I actually talked to three different  Princess cruise casino staffs.  They said they'''ll call me or email me back.  I did not hear from any of them.  MSC is a lot easier to deal with.  I told them what I want, they ask for supporting evidence of my casino actions and they offered me the cruise I requested.  I have never been on a MSC Cruise before.  I have no gambling history on their ship, but they are willing to give me an offer.  They put a lot of weight on Casino Win/Loss statements.  It shows the gambling action of a new client.  The whole process took 4 days.
