Margaritaville at Sea’s top casino players can now bring along an extra stateroom at no additional cost.
The new perk, called Sail with Friends, is part of an expanded lineup of Casino Players Club benefits bookable now for cruises departing October 1, 2026.
Every Platinum member is eligible for an additional oceanview stateroom for two guests, in addition to the program’s existing complimentary cruise benefits.
The expansion also adds complimentary Wi-Fi, room service, and more, primarily for Gold and Platinum members.
Platinum members will receive some of the biggest additions, including premium Wi-Fi, complimentary laundry and room service, a personal VIP host and access to an annual Platinum players event.
Gold members will receive complimentary basic Wi-Fi and a personalized welcome gift, while Platinum members receive premium Wi-Fi and their own welcome amenity.
How the tiers break down
The Casino Players Club has four levels. Everyone starts at Bronze for free, while Silver requires 1,000 cumulative tier points, Gold requires 7,500, and Platinum requires 15,000.
Silver is where the program’s onboard credits kick in, up to $100 per sailing each in arcade, shore excursion, and spa credit, along with complimentary or discounted cruise fare for the player and up to three guests, up to two complimentary bingo cards per sailing, and a complimentary Unlimited Soda Package.
Gold adds VIP check-in and disembarkation, priority theater seating, a complimentary Ultimate Beverage Chill Package, and complimentary specialty dining.
Platinum keeps the beverage package but swaps it for a complimentary Prime Dining Package, a distinct, higher-tier dining benefit rather than the same specialty dining perk Gold receives.

Know before you enroll
Travelers don’t necessarily have to start gambling aboard Margaritaville at Sea from scratch.
The cruise line also offers a tier-match program for players with established status elsewhere, referred to as “Casino Offer Match” in its own press materials and as “VIP Tier Match” on its website.
According to Margaritaville at Sea, the program matches only actual casino offers, not status alone, so a player with top-tier status at another casino but no current offer in hand would not qualify.
Each submission is evaluated internally rather than against a published tier chart, and matches are capped at $1,000 in free slot play.
Several of the program’s complimentary packages, including the beverage packages, dining packages, laundry and room service, are valid only for the player and one guest sharing the same stateroom, not the full party. Sail with Friends is the exception, extending to two guests in a separate cabin.
For guests earning status directly aboard Margaritaville at Sea Paradise or Margaritaville at Sea Islander, the expanded benefits take effect October 1.
