How to Get a Comped Cruise — Email-Confirmed Before You Sail

Casino host confirming a comped cruise by email before sailing

If you’re a rated casino player with steady, carded sessions, a comped cruise is realistic. This guide shows the exact steps we use to turn your play and current offers into an email-confirmed cruise comp at booking—no “TBD.”

What Determines Approval (Plain English)

  • Theo drives value: Time × Average Bet × House Edge ≈ theoretical (Theo) → comp level.
  • ADT (Average Daily Theoretical): Theo divided by rated days; avoid one marathon day and three empty days.
  • Clean tracking beats spikes: Consistent, carded sessions read better than short volatility bursts.

What to Send (Fast Checklist)

  • Current offers (PDF/photo) from land or prior sailings.
  • Players-club number(s) for each traveler who plays.
  • Typical session (games, denomination, average bet, length).
  • Preferred timing (month/region/ship class if any).
  • Past cruise folios/confirmations (helps unlock bounce-backs).

Step-by-Step: From Offer to Booked Comp

  1. Bundle & present: We format your profile (ADT/Theo, session patterns, offer strength) the way cruise-casino teams evaluate.
  2. Match & timing: We target ships/weeks that rate cleanly for your limits and avoid weak windows.
  3. Email confirmation at booking: Cabin/perks documented in writing before you sail.

Protect Your Rating (Do These Every Time)

  • Card every session from the first wager—no card = no rating.
  • Keep denomination steady per session so average bet reads cleanly.
  • Session length targets: ~30–60 minutes at tables or ~300–600 spins slots/VP.
  • Favor fair rules/paytables: 3:2 blackjack; full-pay VP where available; take full odds at craps.
  • Save proof: keep emails/folios for bounce-backs and future comps.
