Review summary
Me and my wife took our honeymoon on the Liberty of the Seas in May of 2019. I enjoy poker so I entered the "Royal Poker Tournament", ($100 buy-in) which 1st prize (only 1st won any prizes) a free cruise for 2, or if they do not have enough players $1500. I explained to the staff that I am an active duty service member and will be deployed when the 1st prize cruise would take place, and would like to know if I win, can i be compensated cash or other. They told me and my wife yes, they would work with us and to enjoy the tournament.I came in 1st, and upon winning was told no I have to take the cruise and to call the casino when we get to shore to be compensated with cash. One month and a dozen phone calls later I was not awarded any prize, told that myself and my wife were lying, and that casino staff were not at fault. I have plenty more to say about the overall cash grab that is a Royal Caribbean cruise, but had I known I would be called a liar on my honeymoon and waste $100 on a poker tournament, I would have taken a different cruise line.Embarkation
