Love your channel quick question I have all sorts of comps for carnival and for Las Vegas. What is killing me is the price of airfare do you have any tips secrets what do you do to drive down the price of your airfare?
Oh how I wish I did. The only thing I've ever been able to figure out to reduce my airfare costs is utilizing a credit card that awards miles or points, charging everything I can to that card (daily purchases) and then paying them off immediately. That way I get the points but not the interest charges. You can really rack up points depending on what type of card you can get. I personally use American Express Delta SkyMiles. I get a free checked bag and priority boarding with it also.
get a airline company credit card or a top travel card and use it for your monthly bills to accumulate miles credit to use!
Great video, thank you! ONE question.... I'm a 2nd time cruiser that just got off of the Mardi Gras 10 days ago, 7 day cruise and earned 9600 points on slots. When and how (email or mailings) should I anticipate getting these amazing offers? I already received a few email offers (like 'welcome home' and book again), but they are not hugely discounted. I don't want to jump on something too soon and miss my shot. Thanks for any input
Keep an eye on Carnival.com website for your offers. I would check once a week or so. You can check out my video on how to locate your offers here: ruclips.net/video/k4hUleoEYAY/видео.htmlsi=t5pPyhOMx9OU_NdN
Best of luck! Hopefully they'll hook you up!
at the start of each month new offers come out
Would love to hear about AARP discount. And another great video👍
I'll definitely work on getting it into a future video!
Thanks for the information I really enjoy your channel and the information you provide. Can you tell me more about the AARP gift card and how it can be used along with the 10% discount it provides, and how it can be used to pay for cruises or load money into the casino.
I'm working on a video I hope to have out in a few weeks that walks through the process. Keep an eye out. Thanks!
Hey great video. You made a subscriber out of me. Keep cranking out the excellent videos. I will be going to the casino on my next cruise. I foolishly never went to the casino. The regular offers pale in comparison to the casino offers.
Thanks for your kind words! And thanks for the sub!
Credit card thing is so true. Especially if you have a gambling issue. I get great comps but I've lost over 50 grand gambling on cruises
Ouch! I've had my issues with losing control in the past and the best strategy I've found is to just create as many obstacles between my money and myself as possible.
Hello from the UK! Saw you on CME so thought we'd come check out and support your channel. Great work.
Thanks so much for the support! Curt and Marsha are so awesome!
@@cruisingoncomps they are awesome and a big reason for us doing this. 👍
I am currently booked on the Carnival Jubilee, leaving in 50 days. This is a casino offer with a great deal on a Suite cabin and $500 OBC. I have another cruise book in August 2025 with the same offer. I also have a March 2026 cruise booked. No casino offers for 2026 yet. But I am sure that way prior to the sailing, I will receive additional offers equal or better to my current offers. Keep the videos coming. I have enjoyed them.
That’s awesome! Love it! Thanks so much for the kind words!

My first carnival cruise was in 2017. It was extremely expensive because I had a grand suite. I gamble a lot. I have cruised at least once a year every year since then and have never paid for my suite. I always have drinks on us everywhere for me and a companion. I usually have several hundred dollars in free play. I think the value of comps from carnival is no comparison to the comps I get on land based casinos. Carnival rocks!
Sadly, I'm hearing from many folks that their comps seem to be drying up with all the recent bookings cruise lines are getting. Mine are still there but the availability of cruises to choose from has decreased significantly. Hopefully they don't forget about us.
@@cruisingoncomps availability might dry up cause the ships are already full.
I was on the Carnival Dream back in July and built up over 20,000 points & received nothing
I reached out before I left and they told me that they would send me some good comps
They were ok, but nowhere near what I expected after spending over $5k
Sorry to hear that. My latest video touches on this as it seems many are losing their offers or at least they are experiencing a drastic reduction, myself included.
Hi there, I have 3 Carnival cruises booked using my comps. Although I’m only offered Inside and Oceanview cabins, it cost me only a few dollars to upgrade to a balcony or suite, which I always do. I have a small gambling budget but it’s enough to get me those free cabins plus $200 to $500 in free play!!!!! I love Carnival!!!!
That's awesome!! Thanks for the comment!
Great video! Thanks for sharing this information! 🦴💤🛳️
Thanks so much for the kind comment!
NEW SUBSCRIBER!! Thx for the info. Taking my 1st cruise next year and this is invaluable info!😊😊
* QUICK QUESTION: Are these same rules done for solo cruisers (as far as the comped cabins)? If not, what's different?
Welcome Aboard! The comped cabins can be used as a solo cruisers with no issue. When you are ready to book just make sure and change the "Number of Guests" to 1 person before exploring your offer options. Check out this video for more details and good luck! You're gonna love it!

New subscriber….. your videos
Welcome!!
New sub here! We cruise on casino offers only! Great video!
@@CarnivalCruiseAddicts Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!
Great informative video! The ships are sailing fully booked these days, there is much less reason for cruise casinos to offer comps, people book cruises and gamble anyway. I'd love to hear your opinion on this one...did your casino strategy/play change when you cruise now? Any thoughts on how to keep getting offers without going broke?
I haven’t personally seen a decline in my offers, they’ve actually grown but that certainly could change. It’s been my experience, at least with land based casinos, that no matter how many visitors they’re getting, comps keep coming because there’s too much competition. My hope is that cruise lines with have the same approach.
To your questions, my strategy on a cruise is much different than on land when it comes to free play. On land I try and convert it and then pocket it and start gambling on the budget I bring. On a cruise my strategy is to convert it and then play it all the way to zero, getting as much time and points on it as possible. It obviously depends on luck how effective that strategy becomes but it’s completely free money that has led to additional offers in the past.
I was really hoping you were going to share the amounts were gambled and how you gambled, ie. craps, slot, poker etc. There seems to be a lot of confusion on the comps especially from what is the best way to accumulate your points needed.
I plan on covering that a little more in depth in a future video as it's been a common question but I'll also answer it here as well. I took 3 cruises in 2023 and accumulated roughly 16,000 total points with roughly $40,000 coin-in (not out of pocket) for all three combined. I played 95% slots as it provides the most accurate account of points. In my local casino I gamble much different but on the cruise I stuck to mostly slots. I actually finished in the positive for the year with Carnival by a good bit. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this video. I have sailed Royal Caribbean only so far, but am now considering Carnival. Could you please compare their casino programs with the ones on MSC and Norwegian? Which one of them makes it easier for us to cruise on comps? Thank you.
I only have experience with Carnival so far but in the research I have done Carnival and Royal seem to be considered the most generous with casino offers along with Princess which is owned by Carnival.
Thank you for a great informative video. Please tell us a little more about AARP. How do you receive the gift cards? Are yhey mailed or digital? Do you have to wait until on-board to load? Thank you!
All you need to do is join AARP. You don't have to be anything other than over 18 to join. The cost I believe is $15-16 per year. Once you've joined you will go to aarp.org/rewards. Once on the page you'll scroll down until you see a button labeled "All Rewards" and click that button. It's about halfway down the page. Once you click that, scroll down again until you see ALL REWARDS and a large search bar. Type in Carnival and two options should show up. $100 for $90 or $500 for $450.
After your purchase they will email you the code(s) and from there you can go to the Carnival website and either pay for a cruise or, if you're already booked, you can go into your cruise and select "Cruise Cash". Make sure and select General Cruise Cash and you can use that for anything on the ship, including in the casino. It will say "$25" but select "Details" and it will take you to a page where you can change it to up to $100.
If that seems like too many steps just print them out and take them onboard. You can load them onto your sail & sign account on a kiosk or have guest services add them to your account. The cool thing is that if you have a balance when they settle your bill they'll use all of the remaining gift card balance first then apply the remainder to you credit card on file.
Hope this helps. It seems like a lot but it's really super easy. The hardest part is finding the cards to purchase on the AARP website.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. CME Traveling is so awesome!
Is the players card separate from your sail and sign card?
On Carnival your Sail and Sign Card also serves as your Players Card.
Ought to try Royal or Celebrity. Free drinks in Casino. Partners eith MGM and Hard Rock. I literally get a coupon Every day and have only taken 3 cruises in the last 2 years. One was a weekend. However I have 3 feee cruises booked in the next 4 months.
They're certainly on the Bucket List for sure! Thanks for the comment!
those pts on rcl and celebrity are only good for a year, Carnivals pts seem not to expire!
Nice work.. I just subscribed.. you are only 3 away from 1k... way to go. I am a small channel myself focused mostly on Royal caribbean. I have a Casino Royale video coming next week. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the sub! You've got a new sub out of me as well. I'm hoping to get onto Royal sometime in the next year. Good luck with the channel!
@@cruisingoncomps oh wow ty! We are on Utopia in Feb. Sailing on a comp. Should hit prime on that sailing and get even better comps.
We cruise 2-3 times a year and my offers absolutely SUCK!!! I get free interior offers but they offer me to ports nowhere near our home port. To boot, we took some friends with us last summer that never cruise. We all gambled and had a great time. We were just looking at booking another cruise with them. They got a csino offer that had them paying PEANUTS for the cruise and our offer had us paying more than $1000 over their offer. ?????? Carnival makes no sense to me with their offers brother. I wish I knew the secret.
That is very strange. If you have the chance on your next cruise I would discuss it with the casino host. They may not be able to help but it’s worth a shot.
@@cruisingoncomps We just did that last month on the Dream. The casino host seemed to be giving me more excuses than anything to be honest. She claimed that when the offers come out that there may only be a certain number of offers available and that we may be getting to the offers after the fact the more of the offers we want have been taken. BUT again, I can LITERALLY take my friends VIFP# and load it up and see all the offers they get and their offers are showing exactly what mine are NOT. And we are talking about using some of the same exact offer codes. I tried to explain to her how what she was offering me as explanation wasn't making sense based on what I just said about my friends offers. Regardless, we are cruisers and continue to cruise but man their casino offers program is not consistent at all. If we want to use a "free" cruise offer, we have to go to Miami or LA even though we have never sailed from either port. We ALWAYS sail out of Galveston. Went out of Port Canaveral once for the Mardi Gras last year. And again, my friend gets the free offers with the same offer code but hers shows Galveston cruises for free. If I look at the SAME cruise she sees, I have to do it outside of using the offer code which of course will have me paying a couple grand. Makes NO SENSE...
That definitely doesn’t make sense. I wish I had access to an answer for you. I’m sailing soon and I’ll see if I might be able to get a more detailed answer from the host. On a side note, you’ve got a new subscriber. Love me some BBQ. I’ve always said my blood type was BBQ sauce!
@@cruisingoncomps HILARIOUS!!! Thank you my man. I'm subscribed to you as well and combing through all this good content. Thanks for what you do over there bro.
Much appreciated!!
If you included what a player needs to play to get comps on cruises, it would have a way better video. Maybe your next one.
Fair question but also one that is incredibly difficult to answer due to so many different variables. As an example, on a cruise I took in October of last year I generated over 10,000 points with a $1,000 bankroll and still went home with more than $1,000. On my most recent cruise I only generated 2500 points with the same bankroll and came home empty handed. It really is relative to the circumstances that take place while gambling. More wins equates to more money to play with which translates into more points created through that play. Longevity of play + average bet are things the casino uses to determine your theoretical value so if circumstances fall your way like they did for me in October of last year, you're in great shape to get an offer. If they fall your way like they did for me on my last cruise, well, it becomes more difficult. My ultimate advice is to always only gamble what you are willing and can afford to lose and view it as entertainment and let the offers fall where they may after the fact.
One good thing about charging to your room credit card is that it is considered entertainment charge, NOT a cash advance.
Also, this is a great way to grab some extra cash for a port call, if you are in need of a "free" ATM. Casino Hack! LOL
That is a very good point! Thanks!
Also a very good point!
can you cash out small amounts and not the entire account durning the cruise
Absolutely! Just tell the cage how much you want and they’ll take care of you.
They also now have redemption machines you can withdraw from your account without going to the cage
Believe this or not...two years ago, my wife and I took a cruise on the Carnival Horizon. It was for her birthday. She wanted to play Bingo...so she did...three times ( I believe) spent about $150.00 (she one nothing but had a blast)...she wanted to gamble a little and found a video slot with three pigs...we lost about $200.00 total...I have no idea how much she "Coined in" however...I promise she lost no more than $200.00...so there we were...down about $350.00 in gambling. a few months later she got an offer through the "Gambling Code"... she chose an Alaskan Cruise (6 day out of Seattle) - an Ocean Suite o the Carnival Spirit...our cost out the door minus airfare, hotel the night before and the Uber to the ship was less than $900.00 for both of us... our airfare from Providence, RI to Seattle, WA was more than 1200.00....the flight was more than the cruise...brother, You are so very accurate!
Very nice!! Thanks for sharing!!
In 12 years and 9 cruises I've only ever been offered 1 free cruise. You must gamble a lot more than we do.
May I ask what cruise line you normally cruise with?
I wonder how much you gamble to get such grear
My new video release on 9-11-2024 will answer that question. Thanks!
I leave in October for a 11 day Caribbean I got free from my local casino
Love it! Have a blast!
