My Pearl-level offers have come in the form of direct CAS mailers on specific sailings. As a real-life example I earned points exclusively through slots on my last 7 night cruise and my 'donation' at the end of the week was ~$2,500 and I had earned about 8,500 points from that. Video poker is $10 / point and table games have a more complex formula based on bet amount and frequency. If you play exclusively slots you would have to run $25,000 through the machines $5 / point to get 5,000 points.
The link above will take you the the CAS webpage that describes the tier levels and how points are accumulated.Įssentially at Pearl Level (5,000 points in a 12-month evaluation period) you start getting discounts offers. How much do you actually have to gamble to get a cruise?
