VIFP Special Offers


Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon,

 

Just had a question. I check Carnival.com daily for price drops because I book early saver(I know I am crazy) but I also check "My Special Offers" under the VIFP tab. I never see any offers for me. I am wondering if anyone else has and if they have what were the offers?

Someone reported yesterday that they were given a free cruise (just paid taxes etc.). You bet I'll keep checking from now on!

 

Here's the thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1852987

 

If I am not mistaken they were also heavy casino players and that had something to do with it. MY question (and I am not complaining) is what about people who are cruise often and don't spend so much money in the casino.

They want people who LOSE...OPPS, I mean play a lot of money to come back and spend even MORE!

 

So that free cruise they give is actually paid for in the casino.

I'm one of those winners of a FREE CRUISE and only had to pay for the tax/port fees. I wouldn't say I gamble much (Slots) and have usually WON or at least came out even each cruise. My PVP told me they are completely RANDOM with the offers...

 

Keep checking I think its just luck of the draw. With my cruise my PVP actually called me to tell me I was eligible.

I am the poster that got the free cruise--however, I am not a heavy gambler (at least not in comparison to what I see--about $150 per day is what I budget/spend). If thats all it takes to get me a free cruise--you bet I am happy about it.

 

I believe it was more random than anything else though--Because it doesnt seem I would be a big profit to them. I have earned the free drinks card while playing (and I am not really a drinker-so not much of a benefit to me), but that is about it (oh yeah and some free strawberries). I havent even spent enough to actually cover what they are comping me for this cruise ($929 x2 people in a balcony). I have never received such an offer before, and probably never will again--I will consider it a great one time deal.

 

But to the OP, I always look under my VIFP specials and there are usually just their normal sale offers listed there, it was only this past Tuesday that this play and stay offer was listed too. Is your VIFP number in the box, because there should be their regular sales there at least. And you never know, maybe you will get lucky enough to get one of these offers too.

I've never seen anything either. And I checked twice since I saw that thread yesterday. :D If they only come as a result of playing in the casino, then I guess I'll never get one. That's one part of the ship I can totally do without. If I gamble $20, I'm splurging!

I will keep checking and congrats on your free cruise!
