If anyone is interested, I went into www.clubroyaleoffers.com this morning and my comp Platinum cruise is now showing up.
I already booked ours for April 2020. We booked a 4 day Bahama trip after using the 3 day offer from 2019 for the cruise we took earlier this month. The 2020 offer we have is for three days and going four is pricier, since the don't offer as much towards that as they do for the three day (that fare is free but you have to pay taxes). Wife wants to do 4, so 4 it is! I think our offer is fair based on our level of play; I am assuming that heavy hitters get better offer...
Just checked ours-3 night Bahamas or Caribbean. We've done these cruises the past 4 years at least and have always had up to 5 nights. Our Mlife play, points and wins/losses have pretty much been consistent over the last few years so they must be cutting back or have a new threshold. Since we've done quite a few of these we now have some status with RC's casino and now have free cruise offers from them that are better than this Mlife offer so we will use one of those for 2020. In the past the Mlife offers have been slightly better.
There are two different entitlements, you receive your annual cruise which is limited to select sailings usually to the Carribean and less than seven days then you receive quarterly offers which is based on last quarters MLife play that show up on the website. Those quarterly offers allow you to deduct that listed amount from any cruise.
New to this. I went to the link and put in my name and number and it gave me a line with a link to "redeem". Hit that link and it asked for a bunch of information. I was just trying to check what was available. Can I get to that by filling in that data? Assume that does not commit me to buy then? FWIW the code that came up was M20PLAT3 I think - which I assume would mean a 3-night cruise? Also showed a "trade-in" value of $375 - am I correct in assuming this is really a $375 credit against an upgraded cruise?
Correct, redeem just sends a form, best to call them. Yes the "trade in value" can be deducted from any newly booked cruise.
I'm pretty sure you are correct. Mine says M20Plat5 and I have a $750 trade-in value - so I'm assuming mine is the 5 night cruise -so yours would be a 3 night cruise in the Bahamas or Caribbean - or use the trade-in value on any cruise. I'm not sure there are any 3 night Caribbean cruises, but I've taken the 3 night Bahamas cruise several times.
$750 is good enough to cover a few Celebrity 7 night Alaska sailings, base fares for August are $674 but the out of pocket will be higher due to fees, taxes and tipping.
