I have only seen this inn Australian cruise. I have an offer of $2,000 free play per person but only on Australian cruises which  I will probably never use

Yea most of ours are free mini-suite or balcony + $2000 free play for any where else. But if I login to the website it shows free mini-suite or balcony on just about every cruise. Usually on slots I hit around 15-20k points, and tables games avg $400-$800 starting bet with progressive pressing.

Also, I do not gamble every night. When I do gamble, it's usually only for 1-2 hours.

Still don’t understand how it works.  I get well above 5,000 pts and get offers for Interior and $150 free play, sometimes just free play.  I know others spend less than myself and get balcony offer and up to $500 freeplay, drinks etc.  I feel lucky to at least get an offer.

Honestly it may be from past play? Also playing table games points rack up better by how long you play and how much you bet. So that plays a huge factor as well. I have been on cruises, gambling just one night for 30 mins and still received free balcony + 1k freeplay

My sister in law just sailed with us (her first ever cruise!) and she was given a free balcony room to be used on any sailing up to 15 days (must sail before December).

She probably won not more than a couple hundred dollars but probably was in the casino every night they were open; she also does max bets on the slots so not sure if that contributed.

 

I assume that the comp would just be for her, correct? Not a second (or third passenger).  We had already all booked another cruise for November so she is considering cancelling that booking and using this comp.

The comp should be for her + another person. On the bottom of the offer it will show the terms. Should look like this.

For those in the know ( @memoak ?), how does Princess Players Club compare with NCL Casinos at Sea, specifically with generosity of comps?

 

 

We always cruised with CAS until Princess started offering better deals.   Princess does not charge that administration fee that NCL does.  You may or may not get comped the drink package ( which also includes daily gratuities and free wi fi not limited to certain minutes) With NCL free at sea charges you 18% gratuity on the meal and drink package    This was over $300 on a 7 day cruise.   Our next cruise is 11 day California coast.  Net cost for 2 with balcony comes to around $700 (after subtracting the free play and OBC).   NCL doesn’t come close

PS. We’re from Troy

@negn thank you for the information.  I'm eager to see what Princess offers me after my play.

 

Oh, BTW, I'm a fan of Troy.  I bring my family from downstate to visit there b/c there's a lot of fun things to do.  I'm in Delmar.
