Land casino partners
Cruise casinos and land casinos share players. If you play in Las Vegas or at a Hard Rock, your status there can open cruise offers, and the other way round.
Some links on this page are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity partner with MGM Rewards and with Hard Rock. Norwegian partners with Caesars Rewards. Carnival partners with Bally's Rewards. Princess will look at your best offer from another line or a land casino through its Tier Match. Partnerships change often, so confirm current terms before you plan around them.
Who partners with whom
| Cruise line | Land casino partner | What it can mean for you |
|---|---|---|

From my own mailbox
Royal Caribbean has sent me free offers at MGM casinos in Las Vegas. I have also had an offer for three free nights at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, near the Fort Lauderdale port, with free play and the resort fee covered. That is a lovely way to spend the night before a cruise from Port Everglades.
And the sister-line trick works too. My Royal Caribbean casino offers started after I sent my Celebrity offers to Royal Caribbean. My Princess offers started when I sent my Celebrity offers to Princess's Tier Match, and my first Princess sailing on comps was Regal Princess in October 2026.
Offer-matching services
Some private companies match your cruise or land casino offers to other casinos and lines. They are not part of any cruise line, and no line publishes anything confirming their arrangements. Read their terms carefully, and judge them by the offers you actually receive.
Before you plan around a partnership
- Check the partner's own page for the current benefit and the tier it needs.
- Ask what the “free” part covers. A comped cabin still has taxes, fees and extras.
- Keep copies of the offers you submit for a match, with their dates.
Gambling should stay fun. If it isn't, free and confidential help is there 24/7: call or text 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) or visit 1800myreset.org. Playing safe →

If stairs, gangways and tenders are a problem, there is a whole section of this site for you. Sails Anyway covers accessible and limited-mobility cruising properly instead of squeezing it into a paragraph: what each pier actually asks of you, which tender ports are a problem and why, the special-needs forms and the deadlines that catch people out, and how to choose a cabin you can move around in.
