Posters claim they get terrific casino deals even though they are not big gamblers.
So now we get back to HAL, which since the post Covid restart, has really been pushing casino deals. On upscale luxury lines, the casinos are rather small, and those lines seldom need to offer casino deals to get folks to book. Also consider that some very successful cruise lines (such as Viking Ocean and Disney) do not even have casinos. Cruise lines that are in high demand do not need to offer casino deals, or perhaps limit them to only a few high rollers. Since we are talking about 'observations' regarding casino deals, here is my take.
