Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
	Royal Caribbean Casinos-at-a-Glance Royal Caribbean's newest ships, Liberty of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas, are the world's largest cruise ships, and their Las Vegas-style casinos are among the largest on the seas as well. The line's five Voyager class ships -- Mariner of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, and Adventure of the Seas -- are only a bit smaller, and their casinos are among the most active afloat.

Freedom and Liberty feature 19 gaming tables, and just over 300 slots. The Voyager class ships feature 16 gaming tables and just under 300 slots. But there is action to be found aboard all ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet, with a minimum of 8 gaming tables and at least 150 slots.

Royal Caribbean now has Players Club, which offers qualifying players complimentary drinks in the casino, and based on play, invites some of its high rollers to expense-paid blackjack and slots tournaments.

Royal Caribbean says that to qualify for cruise discounts, a player is expected to spend a minimum of two hours a day at the table, betting a minimum of $50 per hand at blackjack, $50 per roll at craps, and $25 per hand or spin at Caribbean stud poker, Let It Ride, or roulette. Slot comps are based on play at $5 per spin.

Members of the Player's Club are also able prior to their trip to arrange personal check-cashing privileges provided they have existing privileges at any U.S. land casino.

To find out more about the Player's Club, simply contact the Casino Manager aboard any of the 20 Royal Caribbean ships.
