Tier points are used to calculate what tier a guest qualifies for and accumulate over the length of the loyalty program. The more tier points accumulated, the higher the tier level and the more per-sailing benefits. Tier points have no cash value and are different from ‘Redeemable Points’.

Tier points are earned when gaming in the casino. 1 tier point is earned for $1 wagered on a slot machine, $2 wagered on a video poker machine or for every $8 in table games play regardless of game type. Remember to insert your SeaPass card into any slot machine card reader or present your card to your table games team member to be rated and earn tier points.

Redeemable points are points that can be used to convert in the casino for a variety of goods and services included but not limited to, Free Slot Play or table promo chips.

Earning a redeemable point is simple as well. Simply insert your SeaPass card into any slot machine card reader to start earning them immediately. Guests receive 1 redeemable point for every $5 wagered on a reel slot machine or $10 wagered on a video poker machine. .

50 earned redeemable points equates to $1 in free play or promo chips (minimum $5 in point redemption required)

Redeemable points can be used to convert to free slot play, promo chips or any other good or service available at the casino cage with more options rolling out in the future.

We encourage you to use every last point earned on each sailing to get the most out of your experience as unused points expire at the conclusion of each sailing.

Your Annual Cruise Benefit(s) will be periodically sent to you via email or direct mail throughout the year and is based on play, not a particular tier level.
