🎰 Four casino comp cruises, four $0 cruise fares, and we still paid for every one of them. Here's what each comp cost us and what it includes. We have casino comps booked on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Virgin Voyages, 27 nights at sea in all. All four came from playing at land casinos, not on a ship. Two came through Josh's Caesars Rewards Seven Stars and MGM Rewards Platinum status, and two came from certificates we picked up in Las Vegas at Station Casinos and the Plaza. Amanda goes through each invoice line by line, then compares what the comps include and what each one costs per night for two people. We only counted what's on the invoice for the comp. No excursions, drink packages, upgrades, flights, or hotels. We have status with Norwegian, but those perks are left out so the NCL numbers match a standard NCL casino offer. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Four $0 cruise fares 0:35 Intro and ground rules 1:52 The four bookings 2:36 Norwegian Aqua (NCL) 4:53 Royal Caribbean: Legend of the Seas 6:23 Princess: Sun Princess 7:53 Virgin Voyages: Brilliant Lady 9:05 What each comp includes 9:37 Cost per night 10:16 What to watch for with any casino comp 11:00 Our take 🧾 COST PER NIGHT FOR TWO (after onboard credit) • Princess, Sun Princess, 7 nights Rome to Athens: $45.71 • Royal Caribbean, Legend of the Seas, 3 nights: $51.65 • Virgin Voyages, Brilliant Lady, 10 nights: $71.40 • NCL, Norwegian Aqua, 7 nights: $117.14, or about $157 once the daily service charges are added onboard 📋 WHAT WE COVER • Why the NCL comp has the longest list of perks and still costs the most per night • The Princess casino deposit: non-refundable, and it comes back to you as onboard credit • Which comps cover gratuities (only Princess and Virgin) • What Wi-Fi, specialty dining, casino drinks, and onboard credit each comp includes • Deposits, tips, and port taxes to check on any casino offer 💬 YOUR TURN Have a casino offer in your inbox and trying to decide if it's worth booking?
