Margaritaville Casino Players Club Adds Extra Cabin Perk
Margaritaville at Sea's top-tier casino players can now receive a free extra oceanview stateroom. The new 'Sail with Friends' benefit is part of an expanded suite of perks for Gold and Platinum members, effective for cruises departing October 1, 2026.
Margaritaville at Sea is offering its top casino players a complimentary extra stateroom. The new 'Sail with Friends' perk allows every Platinum member in the Casino Players Club to bring along an additional oceanview cabin for two guests at no extra cost, according to the cruise line.
The benefit is bookable now for voyages departing on or after October 1, 2026. It supplements the program's existing complimentary cruise offerings. The expansion also introduces new amenities like Wi-Fi and room service, primarily for Gold and Platinum tier members.
Platinum members receive the most significant additions. Their new benefits include premium Wi-Fi, complimentary laundry and room service, a personal VIP host, and access to an annual Platinum players event. Gold members will get complimentary basic Wi-Fi and a personalized welcome gift.
Casino Players Club Tiers
The Margaritaville at Sea Casino Players Club has four membership levels. Benefits escalate with the accumulation of tier points earned through casino play.
| Tier | Tier Points Required | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Free (entry level) | Base membership |
| Silver | 1,000 | Up to $100 each in arcade, shore excursion, and spa credit per sailing; discounted cruise fares; two free bingo cards; Unlimited Soda Package |
| Gold | 7,500 | VIP check-in/disembarkation; priority theater seating; Ultimate Beverage Chill Package; complimentary specialty dining |
| Platinum | 15,000 | Prime Dining Package; premium Wi-Fi; complimentary laundry & room service; personal VIP host; annual event access; 'Sail with Friends' extra cabin |
Silver tier is where onboard credits begin. Gold tier adds priority services and a beverage package. Platinum retains a beverage benefit but upgrades it to a distinct Prime Dining Package. The cruise line states this is a higher-tier offering compared to the specialty dining Gold members receive.
Enrollment and Fine Print
Prospective members do not have to start from zero. Margaritaville at Sea offers a tier-match program for players with established status at other casinos. The cruise line calls this 'Casino Offer Match' in press materials and 'VIP Tier Match' on its website.
The match is not automatic. According to the cruise line, it matches only active casino offers, not status alone. A player with top-tier status elsewhere but no current offer would not qualify. Each submission is evaluated internally, not against a public chart, and matches are capped at $1,000 in free slot play.
Several complimentary packages come with restrictions. Benefits like the beverage packages, dining packages, laundry, and room service are valid only for the player and one guest sharing the same stateroom. The new 'Sail with Friends' perk is the exception, extending fully to two guests in a separate cabin.
For guests earning status directly aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise or Margaritaville at Sea Islander ships, the expanded benefits take effect on October 1, 2026.
