Am I considered a Casino At Seas member?

[laudergayle]

As posted recently, several members had a designation added to their account profile.  Mine was JADE.  On our February cruise I inquired at the casino what this meant. I was told that as soon as I ran my card in one of the machines it would activate my account.  Questions.  1) I swiped my cabin card to play…was this the card he was referencing or was I supposed to get a different CAS card.  2) if indeed my cabin card activated my CAS Jade status, on our next cruise can we checkin at the CAS window.  3) Besides priority checkin, do you get priority boarding?  Thanks for any insight.

Technically, you get casino check in if you book through CAS (even if it a small discounted rate). If you do that, you can get your casino perks like a drink card. 
 

In all of our travels, the only port that offers casino priority embarkation has been New York. And that was not obvious last time we were there in October.

Thanks..I guess it makes sense that CAS checkin would be for their bookings.  Someone bumped an older thread today that answered some of my other questions.
