How long do i have to book through CAS?

[Martinperway]

So I got back from a cruise a few weeks ago(NCL). Anyways, I earned 5000 points over the cruise. They took around $250 off our bill at the end. Something I have never experienced is a casino host searching ME out lol. He came up to me as i was walking around looking for a machine and offered us free dinner, didn't have to ask or anything so I thought that was cool. Probably a good sign too. So I have a few questions:

 

Do you think that with my level of play I would be eligible for a free cruise? Like I said I earned 5000 points which equals $25,000 played through the slots(not what i brought, but what i cycled through the machines)

 

If so, how long do you think I have until them looking through my previous cruise is voided? Like, if someone went on a cruise and spent a bunch of money but they tried to get an offer 5 years later, i doubt they would. Just curious how long you typically have until those types of things expire. Not the points, I know points expire 18 months, but how long from your previous cruise.

 

Lastly, if they do offer a free cabin, is it usually just for yourself or for two? Because when they took money off our bill at the end, they combined my points with who I was staying with. As I am 19, I can't book a cabin to myself, NCL policy is someone 21 years or older must be booked in the cabin with you which is why I'm asking.

Anyone care to answer?

The only for sure way to know if and what comps or discounts you are eligible for is to call CAS and ask. You do not have to wait for them to contact you.

 

My first NCL comped cruise was this past March from a local casino. Several days after returning home I called CAS to inquire about my eligibility for future cruise comps or discounts for a 2013 Breakaway cruise based on the play from the cruise I just completed and I was comped a spa minisuite. A month after this booking was made I received a CAS brochure which after calling found out I was eligible for another comped cruise on a good number of different ships and sailings. I had 1 year to book this cruise and I year to take it from the time of booking. I decided on a Pearl West Carib cruise for this coming January and was comped a minisuite cabin. BTW, my play was in the same ballpark as yours.

 

These cruise comps are for you and a guest. You both will be responsible for paying the Government taxes, fees, service charges, and travel protection if you choose it. If you receive similar comps as I did you are looking at around $450 pp to cover the charges you are responsible for, and of course you pay your own air, hotel, etc.

Alright cool so by the sounds of it I have about a year after I sailed to take any of these offers if I'm eligible?
