CAS Special Birthday Offer

[hpecorari]

Not sure if this was ever discussed before but as I just spent my birthday on my last cruise I'd thought I'd share.

 

According to NCL Website CAS states that they have a 'Special Birthday Offer' which shows it for all the Tiers.

 

My birthday was on a Monday. The following Wednesday I asked the Casino Host about the 'special birthday offer' that it states that CAS tier members receive. She never came to me about it......however, when I asked her she said she'd get back to me. The next day she said that it was a Bathrobe and she'd contact the Spa and have it delivered to my room. Two days later she said she was still working on it and it would be delivered from Housekeeping, not the Spa. Sure enough, the next day a brand new bathrobe with the NCL Logo in a sealed plastic bag was waiting for me on my bed. Now, I have no idea if the 'gift' is dependent on what Tier you are or not, however, this is what I received.

 

In addition, although it had nothing to do with my birthday, the Casino picked up the tab at the Italian Restaurant, the French Restaurant, the Steakhouse and the Brazilian Restaurant, as they made those reservations for me which included a bottle of wine or a cocktail for my guest and myself if we didn't drink wine. It also allowed me to get the 'lobster tail' as a free add on at both the Steak House as well as the French Restaurant.

 

Oh, and at the beginning of my trip she did seek me out, welcome me and ask for our room keys to put a soda sticker on for us. We don't drink soda so we didn't take the sticker.

 

The evening before the cruise ended she also removed $600.00 off of my bill. That basically covered the few drinks we had, excursions, the Chefs Table, and a few items I purchased at the onboard store.

 

Although the machines were tight.....and the black jack dealers were very lucky, I was treated well.

 

However, I will stress once again although it's been said before......

don't play for perks. Play as you would normally play and the perks are just a bonus!

Who is not a big drinker and if I had 5 drinks on that players card during my 11 day cruise it was a lot! LOL

Not sure if you play video poker or not, but I am curious if there were any progressive VP machines? Also, if possible, do you remember the pay tables for Double Double Bonus? I am mainly a $0.25 player, but dabble at the higher levels once in a while. Thanks in advance! We will be on the Sun in a couple of weeks. Thanks!

I'm sorry I can't help you. I only play table black jack and $1.00 machines. I didn't see any progressive $1.00 machines if that helps at all.

Wow that's a great birthday gift!! It makes me want to cruise on my birthday! :)

[bahama2]

I'll be on the Breakaway on the 11/10/13 cruise. My birthday is 11/12 and I hope I'm at least half as lucky as you. I've been on over seventeen cruises and at least half of them covered my birthday and the only time I received anything was on the Jewel in 2011. I travel alone and they made me feel so good. Keep your fingers crossed for this time. Either way I'll have a great birthday cruise.:D

No progressives. DDB is almost uniformly 7/5 across most games. I think I saw it go up to 8/5 at dollars on a few machines.

Thanks!

One other question.....still live dealers and cards at the poker table? Carnival went to the poker pro tables so haven't been on one with an actual poker dealer yet.....thanks!

If your a CAS member make sure you let the Casino host know. Then, please report back here what they give you. I'm curious to see if the gifts are ship dependent, CAS Tier dependent, or one gift all round no matter what. Thanks!

Just off the Breakaway during my birthday.:)

I'm Golden and I received a beautiful 8x10 leather photo album W/family picture on one side and ships picture on the other side.

In addition to that, I was very surprized when I opened my cabin door and found it all decorated with balloons & streamers & BD signs. And to top it off a huge 12 inch Happy Birthday cake & a bottle of merlot.:D

WOW! All thanks to CAS!:)

I only play @ the Borgata. Were in Vegas 4/5 times a year and it's the only veags style hotel and Casino in AC. Although my Wife Loves Harrahs pool area.

[CasinoCruzGirl]

Booked on that breakaway for March 23rd received my offer from the Taj in Atlantic City 11 days to go and I can't wait I wish it was my birthday but I can't wait to see what kind of perks I get. I know I will receive drink cards in my cabin upon arrival that sounds good to me a little winning would be great LOL. Does anyone know if they have the Napoleon and Josephine slot machine on the breakaway? I was in Las Vegas last month and played that machine for the first time I was playing $.80 per spin and hit the bonus rather quickly and won $250. Then last week I was at the Parx casino in Pennsylvania and saw that machine. I was playing $1.20 per spin this time and again got the bonus rather quickly this time Winning $600 on the bonus. I would love to play that machine again and make it 3 for 3 lol

You cannot sign up for the CAS card on the website. You'll have to do it on the ship. However, if you have a Harrah's/Ceasar's Total Rewards card, I'd urge you to either contact your Harrah's host, or call the CAS office at the number on the web page below.

 

Depending on your Harrah's play level, you might get a cruise offer from them, but at the very worst, they'd probably pre-register you for the CAS cards and you might well get a free drink card also - and both would be waiting in your cabin when you get to the ship.

 

Definitely use the CAS card for your play on the ship. NCL's CAS is about the best cruise line player rewards system, and you'll be pleased at the results in offers and comps.

Is there a way to deposit money by the cruise. When we go to Vegas Se always send a cashier che K to the hotel so we don't have to bring get the cash with us.

[actinout04]

I will be on the EPIC for my birthday next week, I'm hoping for that robe (but would settle for the drink card haha).

 

My family was on the Dawn a few weeks ago for my sister's birthday, the whole casino sang to her and it was such a treat, but the host didn't say anything about the birthday offer, even though everyone knew our names. I guess you really do have to ask.

[cruisegal98]

Last year I was onboard for my birthday but I was at the HOT level and I did not receive any special treatment. This year I will also be on for my birthday but I just reached GOLDEN level so I hope I will get a birthday surprise. Or maybe I should ask about it. lol.

Make sure you ask about it the first night on board.

[cruiseaddictColleen]

Does anyone know if your birthday has to fall during the week that you are on the cruise. My birthday is in March & am cruising in April and am wondering if they will acknowledge it. Also, what level do you have to be in order to receive lunch at Cagneys? Thanks for any answers you may have..:)

If your birthday falls AROUND the time of your cruise NCL wiill give you a small birthday cake during a dinner. You'll have a 'birthday' card in your room, when you want the cake just give it to the host who seats you at dinner.

 

If your birthday falls DURING your cruise CAS will give you 'something' else.......depending on your CAS status.

Well I was onboard the Dawn for my birthday last November and told the casino host it was my birthday during the cruise and all I received was a CAS tote(which was given to all the participants of the Slot Pull). I was HOT at the time; did not receive anything else.

Another passenger I was speaking to said the birthday offer does not apply if you booked with CAS and received a comp room(which is what I had).
