Yep, we're supposed to be on the Ultra, but on Magic April 11. Dont know the answer to your question, but there are very few ultras each year, so you may or may not get an invite.

Miami & Ft Lauderdale has it, Not Tampa yet. On our cruise June'19, we all had to wait almost 2 hrs, outside the Miami terminal before getting on ship, so they could set it up.
But when we came back it was fast & wonderful.

they will give you chips or will load it on your card (they dont give cash)
-
The lanyard isnt terrible, but the plastic case for your keycard is much too big. I exchanged it right away with a smaller plastic holder I already had. Many have told me that their cards have come out & they lose them.

Finally-booked in Feb, for mid June & got the email yesterday that the casino paid its share!!! Dont understand why so long -they do have faxes these days! Had gotten 2 emails.earlier. saying we had a major balance due!
-
Yes, Princess is so slow to get their share paid & also other items. I asked them if they have fax Machines!!
We got an offer while on the Regal in Feb'19, & called right away, to book another one. He was first surprised that our offer was already showing on his end. He said it usually takes up to 3 weeks after you get off the ship!
Then I got an email one month later, saying to pay the balance over $1,000 for our free outside cabin!! I called & they said to ignore it-I'm all paid up & the casino dept will eventually pay its share! Carnival & Royal is not like that at all!!
And Princess started the $100 per person deposit In Oct'18, like Carnival does, that you'll get back as onboard credit.

We were on the 9 nite Navigator also. The casino is also opened all day, while at the private islands, & while at Grand Turk.

I wasnt aware you could use a casino certificate on board. I thought you could only use them through the casino office. I have a 300$ cert from last cruise and it doesnt expire while Im on board in 2 weeks. Can I book onboard and use it then?
Yes, you can go to Next Cruise on the next ship & book it with them.
But, you can only get the onboard credit from NextCruise, if you book while still on the original ship where you got the certificate from.
We tried to do exactly that. We were on allure & 1 week later on the Majesty. I used the cert. on the majesty,(on the 2nd day of the cruise-no lines) that we got from the allure. On both ships, the NextCruise staff thought we would be able to get the OBC. They didnt know, they dont work with casino people that often. After creating the booking on the Majesty, I had to call casino royale(they let me at guest services) so they could enter the correct amount for the booking with the certificate. The NextCruise guy isnt allowed to call them. That's when I found out it has to be booked on the same cruise you get it from , to get the OBC-oh well. But we get the certificate on the last day or so, when it is so crowded at Next Cruise & also at guest services where you have to call casino royale & then wait on the phone for them , & then go back to the NextCruise office-not really worth it to get some OBC. Still was good to do it on the ship, & they give you the confirmation right there. But not good, holding on for 30 min, waiting for casino royale to pick up.

I always ask the cabin steward to separate the beds, & put the 2 nite tables in the middle. More room to walk around.
Been married 40+ yrs--doesnt matter for a week.
Also the luggage fits under the beds.

What are the service fees on NCL? We've only done casino freebies on Royal, Carnival, & occasionally Princess- where none of these have service fees-only pay for port chgs & ins. (Havent done NCL since they started freestyle). Holland & others we were on in the past.
On Holland & Princess, many turned in early at nite, so not much going on late-except the casino of course. We enjoy Royal & Carnival the best.
-
Princess is the same way-no free drink card & once in a while, the pit boss will comp you a drink at the table. Princess & Holland are both owned by Carnival. BUT Carnival DOES give you the drink card on their cruises! And all three are IN the oceanplayers club!

They are sending out an offer for a free balcony cabin, but none available???:rolleyes::confused:
Yep, I got the free balcony offer today also, thats why I called to see if we could switch from oceanview on ours-the Aug 18 one. But he told me none left on the 18th. Now my hubbie says we could do the back to back, getting the free balcony on Aug 25, but that is too much. Like you, we have a bunch planned Sep, Oct, etc. By the way, since we live in FL, (no need to fly either) never been on the Anthem-good ship?
-
Already have an oceanview on Aug18 Harmony. Called just to see if we could switch to balcony, but there are no balconies left anyway.
-
That's a new offer showing for me too.
New for us also-anyone know what it is?? Kind of late to be for summer 2018.
-
Is the OBC issued automatically if the taxes/fees decrease or do you have to ask for it to be credited at guest services?
It should be issued automatically, but it wouldnt hurt to later talk to someone at guest services to see. Also would help if you could print out the page with the tax difference & the date, to show what you saw.
And esp. look at the tax amt, just before your cruise, to see if it went down.
-
Filmed on the Harmony!!!!
It's the first ever Hallmark Channel movie filmed on a cruise ship! "Love at Sea" Saturday, August 11!
-
Yes, I wish they would describe the offers that we are seeing online. Not going to click to redeem it, when I dont know exactly what it is. That would be easier than calling each time.
-
For your offers & for your level -you should call Royal, I guess the casino dept.
My husband got an email back when the new program started in April, telling him his level. But it was wrong- on our cruise last month, they told him a different (& higher ) level.

I received email -not snail mail - for the signature Oasis Oct. 21 cruise today. Already booked on Allure one week later - casino event - from FLL. Had not yet booked airfare for the FLL cruise so I need to make a decision... thinking about trying to go from Port Canaveral to FLL... Oasis comes into Port Canaveral same day Allure goes out from FLL.
You can do it, it will be about 3 hrs to get to FT L. Weekend traffic is not bad. Try to get or exchange to a low lugg tag #. I keep on asking them about the priority debarkation for diamond plus. but it never happens. Also you can get your free laundry on the ships. Where do you live in Chicago? My husband is from the south side, then Skokie. We lived in Palatine for a long time, till we moved to FL. 14 yrs ago.

Not a bad site, appears up to date. Got off the Mariner on Friday and already has the offer listed.
On another note for the people on the Mariner last week and the discussion about beer cost at the base ball game, it was 12 dollars or 14 dollars for a beer however they were 25oz cans. What surprised us were the 10 dollar hot dogs. But it was a good game.
We were also on the Mariner July23-27 with that Baseball casino group & went to the game Friday nite with the free tickets they gave us on the ship. The seats were in an a/c suite with free beer, wine & food served for all. Didnt know till we got there that it would be a suite for the cruise guests!!
-
Several times, we've seen portcharges/taxes lowered before the cruise.
But they will give you an on board credit on the ship, but not before
(in case they go back up)

I blame it on their IT. They introduced an upgraded C&A website and fouled that up as well. They lost past cruises, did get my points right but then said I am pre-gold with zero cruises when we’ve been D plus for several years. Somehow my booked future Casino Royale cruises are still showing correctly. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes them the better part of this year to get everything properly completed.

Same happened to us, but the next time I returned to our site, it did finally update to D+ and the correct amount of days.
Did have to put in our email address now, & change the password to log on.
The Diamond+ gifts option isnt showing yet, but they told me that you can call & change gift over the phone.
Should have left the website as it was.
Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)

Have to remember that many of the Royal ships are away from FL this time of year, doing transatlantics & then Europe thru the summer, just like Princess. So maybe it makes sense that they need to cancel for the 2 months now.
