If being sent on a luxury cruise and given some casino spending money sounds like a rather agreeable job description, this one might catch your attention. Casino.org is looking for a gambling enthusiast to become a casino tester at sea, with the successful applicant receiving a cruise aboard Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess as part of a prize package valued at around $8,000.
And yes, apparently the job really does involve going on a cruise and reviewing the casino.
Key Points
- Casino.org is looking for a gambling aficionado willing to test one of the newest casinos at sea
- The platform is offering an $8,000 luxury package including $500 in casino credit and $500 in other expenses
- The winner will review gaming operations aboard Sun Princess’s 9,000 square feet casino space
What Does the Winner Get?
The prize centres around a cruise aboard Sun Princess, one of the newest ships in the Princess Cruises fleet.
According to details reported by Gambling News, the package is valued at approximately $8,000 and includes the cruise itself, plus:
- $500 in casino credit
- $500 to spend elsewhere onboard
- The chance to experience and review the Sun Princess casino
The catch, if you can really call it one, is that the winner will have some homework to do while onboard.
Your Job: Review the Sun Princess Casino
Rather than spending the entire cruise beside the pool with a cocktail, the winning tester will be expected to put the ship’s casino through its paces.
They’ll be asked to assess six areas:
- Variety of casino games
- Professionalism of the staff
- Betting limits
- Overall atmosphere
- Customer service
- Food and drink
It’s probably one of the more unusual cruise assignments we’ve come across.
“Sorry, I can’t make dinner yet. I’m working.”
Sun Princess Has a Pretty Serious Casino
The casino aboard Sun Princess isn’t exactly a tiny room tucked away in a corner of the ship.
It covers almost 9,000 square feet and reportedly features 227 slot machines alongside 13 live dealer table games.
For passengers who enjoy spending a little time in the casino during their cruise, that makes Sun Princess one of the more interesting ships to explore.
Of course, cruise casinos generally operate while ships are sailing in international waters, rather than while they’re sitting alongside in port.
Can UK Cruisers Enter?
This is where things get particularly interesting for CruiseChatter readers.
The promotion is open to eligible entrants aged 21 or over who have a valid passport for international travel.
The planned sailing period depends on where the eventual winner lives. According to the published details, UK winners would cruise in either June or September, while winners from the United States would travel in October or November.
Anyone interested should, of course, check the full competition terms, entry deadline and eligibility requirements before entering.
Would You Take the Job?
We’re struggling to think of many occasions when “casino tester” and “luxury cruise” have appeared in the same job description.
Even if you’re not normally someone who spends much time in the casino, being asked to explore Sun Princess with much of the trip paid for certainly sounds like an entertaining assignment.
And with $500 of casino credit provided, at least you wouldn’t immediately be dipping into the holiday spending money while carrying out your research.
Although we’d probably still find ourselves spending far too much of that additional $500 on cocktails, speciality dining and whatever tempting item happened to be sitting in the Princess shops.
