These are two different programs.
Understanding the difference is important.
Casino Offer Match
A casino offer match is based on your gambling activity.
You submit proof of:
A land-based casino comp offer
A cruise casino offer
A casino loyalty tier
The cruise line’s casino department reviews your information and may send you an offer based on your gaming history.
Possible outcomes may include:
Complimentary cruise offers
Discounted sailings
Free play
Onboard credit
Casino perks
Approval is not guaranteed. Each cruise line evaluates submissions individually.
Casino offers are based on gaming activity, not cruise nights sailed.
Loyalty Status Match
A loyalty status match applies to cruise loyalty programs.
You submit proof of your current cruise loyalty tier and may receive equivalent status with another brand.
Benefits may include:
Priority boarding
Onboard discounts
Loyalty event invitations
Future cruise benefits
Loyalty status does not automatically include casino offers.
Loyalty status is based on cruise history, not casino play.
Important Before You Apply
Matches are not guaranteed
