About Me
Hi, I’m Joanne LaFlamme — writer, traveler, and lifelong storyteller. I write about the things I’ve actually lived: travel, cruising, fasting, aging, food, and figuring things out as I go. Everything here comes from real experience, real experiments, and the stories behind them.
Casino-Comp Cruising
You Don’t Have to Be a High Roller to Casino-Comp Cruise
Casino-comp cruising can sound confusing when you’re first getting started. How many points do you need? What does “comped” really mean? What will you still pay? And how do you turn casino offers into actual cruise bookings?
We learned those answers by doing it ourselves — through real cruises, real casino offers, real bookings, and plenty of trial and error.
Casino-Comp Cruising puts what we learned in one place, so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way.
If you enjoy cruising and already spend some time in the casino, you may be leaving valuable cruise offers on the table.
A Peek Inside the Book
This page was originally created as a free preview of Casino-Comp Cruising, and it gives you a good sense of the book’s style: practical, straightforward, and based on real experience.
Inside the full book, I share the lessons, examples, booking details, mistakes, and strategies we learned while figuring out casino-comp cruising for ourselves.
The goal is simple: help you understand how the system works before you start spending money trying to figure it out on your own.
