How do you get comps on Royal Caribbean?

A casino comp is a free item or perk given out by a casino to entice you to play more. To earn casino comps on a Royal Caribbean cruise, you must first spend time and money gambling in the onboard casino, Casino Royale, being careful to use your Sea Pass cruise card to track your play.



To get "comps" (complimentary items or cruises) on Royal Caribbean in 2026, you must join and play through the Club Royale casino rewards program. Comps are earned by inserting your SeaPass card into slot machines or presenting it to the dealer at table games to track your "coin-in" or average bet. As you earn Tier Credits, you move from Choice to Prime, Signature, and finally Masters status. Reaching Prime status (2,500 points) is the "gold standard" for 2026 cruisers, as it unlocks a "drinks on us" benefit in the casino and a free annual cruise for two in an interior stateroom. Beyond tier status, the casino host may offer "instant" comps like specialty dining or shore excursions based on your play during a single voyage. A "pro-tip" is to check the MyOffers portal on the Royal Caribbean website regularly, as high-volume players often receive "bounce back" offers for free or heavily discounted future sailings within weeks of returning home.
