Which cruise lines will match my casino status?
Pick what you hold: a land casino tier, a land casino offer, or another cruise line's casino tier or offer. See what each cruise line says about matching it, how to apply, how long a reply takes and the limits, with a link to where each fact comes from.
Most lines now take your land-casino status or a competing cruise offer and send you a starter offer, but no line guarantees approval and several only reply if you qualify. Some ask for a tier card, some for an offer document, and Virgin says it doesn't match status at all. Celebrity has no public casino match, and Explora Journeys has no casino program. Matches are free: don't pay anyone for one.
What do you hold?
Choose the kind of proof you'd send and the program it's from. The answers below update as you choose.
This tool only asks which program you hold. It never asks for your name, an account number or a copy of your card, and what you pick stays in your browser (the link you copy keeps it after the # in the address, which isn't sent to our server). When you apply, use the line's own form and share only what it asks for.
Each line's answer

How to read the answers
Every answer is copied from a page on this site that cites the line's own page. Each card links to both.
- Says it accepts thisThe line's match page, as our guide reads it, names this kind of proof (and, for Royal Caribbean, this program). It still doesn't promise a match.
- Check the line's listRoyal Caribbean publishes a list of accepted casinos and tiers. Our guide names only some of them, so check the list for yours.
- Not publishedThe line's match page doesn't say either way. You can still ask; you may not hear back.
- Says it doesn't accept thisThe line says so: Virgin doesn't match status, Princess doesn't take Carnival offers, and Celebrity doesn't share status with Club Royale.
- ReportedOnly a third party (a blog, a news story or a casino host) says so, not the line.
- Partner benefitCaesars, MGM, Hard Rock and Wynn tiers unlock set benefits on partner lines without a match. They're not the same as a match, and each links up its own way (see land casino partnerships).
The full picture, including independent casino hosts and booking through a travel agent, is in matches, casino hosts and travel agents. What each line's offers include once you have one: casino offers compared.
Before you send anything
- Share only what the form asks forNo line requires your password. Share a screenshot of an offer or a photo of your card, never your login.
- Matches are freeCruise line matches are free, and independent hosts are paid by the line. Don't pay anyone to get you a match or a comp.
- No guaranteesNo line promises a match. Anyone who does is guessing.
