I've come to the conclusion, to Heck with what Princess casino gives you after playing in them.

I had good luck in the last P. casino, but thought my return offer was Weak, for my amount of play.

I do better getting a pickup freebie Princess voucher from Stations or Venetian, than what the P. ship gives.

It seems since I mainly play NCL or Princess, between the two, I definately get better bounceback offers

from NCL Ship casinos, than Princess.

Hence, play what you want in Princess casino. But don't rely on the P. Ships casino return offers. :confused:

I have been on most of the NCL fleet, but Not the other 2 ships you mention.

Some NCL ship casinos are bigger than others, in their own fleet.

They don't combine as far as I know. You are playing on Your own room key card,

so spouse would have their Own key card. Its Not really like landbased casinos

where you can get multiple players cards and you can put all your play on One persons card.

But if anyone else knows different? I'd be curious to hear about it.

At age 65, I was one of the first pax on the Breakaway's Inaugural TransAtlanic Cruise to do the Plank.

 

If I can do it, so can you!

 

No one has died yet! :eek::p

Are you seriously 65?

And your hair is natural color too, right? ;)

Figured out I only need W/L from Princess this year, so still waiting for that one.

We have 3 NCL trips this year, so may have to get one from them eventually.

But I draw the line at Notary. If thats still their rule?

Let them know, thats archaic, and Soooooo Yesterday!:cool:

Never tried it.

Don't think it can be done.;)

Good luck.

I didn't know about getting them thru oceansplayers club, so really appreciate the headsup.

You were right, I went to their site & very easy to submit a win/loss request.

Said it will take a couple weeks to receive it by mail. Fine.

Thank you Princess.:)

Last time I won on NCL, I must have blown off getting a Win/loss from them.

Most people aren't going to jump thru "notary" hoop.:cool:

NCL needs notarized signature? Forpetesake. Thats convenient......NOT.

Any chance Princess is easier?

Can anyone tell how they got their Win/Loss statements from the Cruise Lines?

Were they sent to you automatically because you received a W2G from them?

Did you have to call and request it?

Did you just Log onto their website, and download it from there?

Thanks

Tell your teen, when eating Fries with your fingers......throw away the part that you touch.

So you're basically eating 3/4 of a Fry instead of the whole piece.

I always do this now.

I know it sounds odd, but I think it helps!

I had a noro couple years ago, and it kicks your a$$, so do Whatever

you can to avoid it.

Many good suggestions above....... but when you posted about

French fries? I just HAD to tell you what I do.;)

I mostly play Video poker.

Why?

Because there is No guessing WHAT the pay schedule is......

its Listed on the front of the machine.

I know what a Good payschedule is, vs. a bad one.

I look for the best available.

Most ships are in the Play at the Airport, kind of pay schedule.

But I've been lucky & gotten a W2G on most ships,

so it can't be all bad....... (Princess/Carnival mails them to you,

while NCL gives on the ship)

especially when you Know what you're doing.;)

For those of you who pick up NCL comp cruise offers thru Harrahs/CET (Local) casinos.... and have gotten offers in the past month......

What is the date your Cruise Offer is good thru???

Reason I'm asking, I have been waiting for the Latest comp cruise offer

to appear......

Pick up NCL cruise voucher early Jan. 2017 (mine is in Nev.)

But its the SAME Book by date as the past Year!

In other words, pick up your cruise voucher now, and must cruise by May 2017. :mad:

Has anyone received any NEW comp NCL cruise offers thru your casinos, that extend past May 2017?

:confused:

Thanks Colleen, and everybody, for the info so far.

I guess I'm waiting to hear how much TIME is needed for this?

Since they seem to OPEN AT 2PM, is it enough time??

Also, were Not familiar with the Port were at, and how Long it takes to get to

the Casino area......?

Did you take a Tour Pkg. from ship? Or whats best way to get there & back.

Thanks again.

Princess is not a late night oriented cruise line. It is simply not the market segment they focus on. If the OP wants a more late night environment I might suggest they try a line like NCL. On my recent Epic transatlantic there was at least one bar open 24hrs and multiple entertainment venues busy until 2-3am. That may better suit their preferences in a seagoing holiday :D

True.

That doesn't sound right. Mine was Stations or Venetican casino offers too.

With that kind of play, you should have gotten Something! Like free insides.

I played less last time, and still got $450 towards next cruise.

(But since I already get freebies, the $450 is wasted.)

I would call the Princess casinos and inquire.

Perhaps they will Mail you something.

But the Casino onboard SHOULD have given you something in your

cabin on the last night.

I went to Casino category, and answered there.

Good luck kenzie. You SHOULD be getting some good offers from

CAS in the near future.

But Call them to find out, if you want to know Now.

Good luck.

Sorry kenzie, I kinda chuckled when I saw this thread.:o

They probably didn't mean to be rude. Or some people give quick

easy answers, and don't explain things very well.....

I like it when Posts are answered with Explanations, instead of Call this, too.

After reading your question outside of CASINO questions, I came back

here to see if I could help you.;)

Appears you got more than enough Help already. LOL

Just call CAS, and I'm certain you will get some GOOD offers.

You played Alot, and deserve good offers.

If you had time to Wait? I think you will start receiving postcard CAS

offers, in the next couple months.

In the meantime, I would Call and chat them up. Good luck.:)

Thanks alot. Checked out the 360 Virtual tour, and its gorgeous!

Wondering where ship docks, how far is it to get there, and How did you get there? Take a tour with the ship?

How dressy did you need to be?

Seems (most of the casinos) Opens 2pm, not sure we have enough time to even Visit that area?

Is there Entry fee for ALL the casinos? Or can we just go LOOK?

For those that went to Casino area, were you able to see much??

Lucy & Ethel in the Casino in Monte Carlo, and she WON, and

was afraid Ricky would be mad that she played there.....

This is all I know about the Casino in Monte Carlo.:p

Is there only One? What do we need to know about it?

We will be on NCL Spirit when she visits Monaco early April 2017.

Can anyone recommend the must sees there, like what about the Casino?

Do we need to take a Tour? Walk there ourselves? Dress a certain way?

Any tips for us Lucy & Ethel knockoffs, would be appreciated. :D

An important consideration is that in recent years the month of Oct. has seen a lot of hurricane/tropical weather activity in the Mexican Riviera region.

 

If it were me and those were the only two options being considered, I would lean towards the CA coastal if sailing in Oct. and the Mex. Riviera if sailing in November.

Ditto

;)

My friend got $350 towards a Princess cruise from Casino play on the ship,

vs. mine was Comp Inside. Friend didn't play as much as me.

 

As far as Ven/Palz cruise/stay offer? I will go retrieve another one.....

Basically, will Check in & get the freebie Inside cruise.

(NOT do all the play to upgrade).

 

I was going to Pass, but were already in town for SEMA, staying next door at Harr. :rolleyes:

We just got back from a wonderful Calif Coastal on Grand out of SF.

I hit a royal Prog in the casino, which was great. My first one I think, on

Princess. and I did NOT receive a W2G.

Casino cashier said they would put one in our box the last night, but it

did Not arrive.

I played enough to get a $450 credit on future cruise.....but thats Less than

the free Interiors I usually get. Soooo....

We had such a good cruise otherwise....... I head to SEMA tomorrow.

And yes, will be staying at Palazzo for another cruise voucher pickup. lol

Well, we can't wait any longer for the end. ;)

We get on Grand tomorrow.

Thanks anyway.

Thats too funny.

Heres where ship cabins & hotel rooms differ.

I always put hotel room service trays or cart Back out into the hall.

Of course, I also use the Napkin to cover the tray.

Just sayin.

Thanks for the info. I just logged into my Personalizer & ordered

2 x 6.90 for our cruise this wknd. Thats a pretty good price, considering

what it costs to Buy bottled water ON the ship. Thanks!

Also, we LIKE Crystal Geyser. Even better.;)

I am not a particularly adventurous guy, but I have walked into Ensenada from the cruise port multiple times. Yes, I definitely stay on the streets where I see plenty of other gringos.

 

I can't say that the vendors are overly agressive. I find that a courteous "No, thank you" with a big smile works just fine. If I'm able to engage my brain quickly enough, I'll say, "No, gracias." :)

 

Here's something that I have noticed. Drivers are very courteous to pedestrians. Every time I walked up to an uncontrolled intersection, cross traffic stopped if I gave even the slightest indication that I wanted to cross the street. I would be interested to hear others' opinions on this.

I would agree with you, drivers seem to be on the Lookout for people who don't know where their going. And they actually STOP. lol

Try to do that in SF, & you will be run over.

I used to think like those who avoided Ensenada in the past., but I think its gotten better. Only saw a few chicklet kids, with their mom.

Other than that, we weren't bothered just walking around town with all the other ship folks.

We will be there in about 10 days, and plan to get off the ship again.
