Royal Caribbean Club Royale Tiers Explained

Everything You Need to Know About Earning More Complimentary Cruises and Casino Rewards

If you enjoy spending time in the casino while cruising, joining Royal Caribbean's Club Royale can unlock a world of exclusive benefits. From complimentary cruises and free play to VIP events and priority service, your reward

s grow as your play increases.

At Players Travel, we help casino players maximize every benefit available—not just from the cruise line, but by combining Club Royale offers with our personalized concierge service.

Let's take a closer look at how the Club Royale program works.

What Is Club Royale?

Club Royale is Royal Caribbean's casino loyalty program. Members earn Tier Credits by playing slot machines and table games onboard Royal Caribbean ships.

The more you play during your cruise, the more Tier Credits you earn. Those credits determine your annual status level and unlock additional benefits.

Unlike Crown & Anchor Society status, Club Royale rewards are based on casino play—not the number of cruises you've taken.

How Do You Earn Tier Credits?

Tier Credits are earned while playing in the onboard casino.

Slot Machines

• Earn Tier Credits automatically based on coin-in.

  • $5 of coin in equals one point on slot machines

  • $10 of coin in equals one point on video poker machines

• Credits accumulate quickly for active slot players.

Table Games

• Credits are awarded based on:

  • Average wager

  • Length of play

  • Game type

  • House advantage

Because table game ratings are calculated differently, consistent play often matters more than occasional large bets.

Do Tier Credits Reset?

Yes.

Why Your Offers May Change

Many guests wonder why they receive different offers throughout the year.

Several factors affect casino offers, including:

• Your recent casino play

• Current ship demand

• Sailing popularity

• Cabin availability

• Seasonality

• Promotional campaigns

• Marketing tests

This means two players with similar status can receive different offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Club Royale free to join?

Yes. Membership is complimentary for guests who play in Royal Caribbean casinos.

Can I earn Tier Credits on every sailing?

Yes, when the casino is open and you're actively gaming onboard.

Are Club Royale and Crown & Anchor the same?

No. Crown & Anchor rewards cruising frequency, while Club Royale rewards casino play.

Can I transfer my casino offers?

Most Club Royale offers are non-transferable and are tied to qualified guests.

Can Players Travel book my casino offer?

Absolutely. In many cases, we can help you understand your options, compare sailings, and provide personalized service throughout the booking process.

However, if you are already working with an Independent Rep or have booked directly with Club Royale you will need to continue to book with them. If you have booked your reservation directly through the Royal Caribbean website there might be a possibility we can still help.
