winddawn Posted April 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) For anyone waiting on a new round of casino premier cruises to be announced, I see a new offer on Carnival's website today for 8 premier cruises between June and October. You can follow this path from Carnival's home page: click Cruise Deals, Past Guest Offers, View Your Offers (under VIFP Club Offers), enter your VIFP number and then click submit. The premier cruises and sail dates will then show. Edited April 8, 2014 by winddawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted April 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My sister loves the casino. Apparently she doesn't love it enough. No offers for her. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted April 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Bummer, I just checked mine and I don't have anything. :( Have you had them in the past? I thought they offered these to just about everybody that plays in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghGirlee Posted April 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Here are a few of the offers: FREEDOM 6/30/14 DREAM 8/10/14 SPLENDOR 9/16/14 BREEZE 7/13/14 MAGIC 8/13/14 FREEDOM 8/24 This is what some of my choices were under my VIFP. I was hoping for more Sept choices and the prices are not that great at all. I DO LOVE A PCC though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozebabe Posted April 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My husband got the offer I did not. I spend at least 3 times what he does in the casino. It has always befuddled me why HE gets the offers I do not. Sometimes I'd like to go with my girlfriends but I never get an offer.

mickide Posted April 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It showed up on mine and actually one of the dates was the cruise we are planning October 4th on the Miracle. My PVP was amazed when I called him on it, he said they just opened today and the mailings aren't scheduled to go out until around the 20th. So we are booked and it will be our first Premier Casino cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribnsnrklr Posted April 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Got my offers today too. This is the third set of offers that I've received for premiere cruises. I noticed that it has been showing up online long before I actually get the mailer. So I've been watching and my new set of offers seem to show up online about one week after the old offers book by date ends. Hoping that means next set will be sometime the first week of June maybe for fall offers? Anyone else notice that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukydog Posted April 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2014 No offers for us either. We always use the casino on every cruise but have never gotten any offers. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rok233 Posted April 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Interesting...my average bet was around $75-100 per hand with about 4 hours of play each day on my last cruise and they don't even give me an offer this time? Enough to get $800 casino cash and 75 percent off my premier cruise in March and a free cruise from the casino from that premier cruise but no offers for anymore premier cruises. I'll never figure out Carnival Players Club, and nor will I try. I'll see if they up their game and give me some good offers after my cruise in June, if not back Norwegian. :) Edited April 9, 2014 by rok233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwilk1129 Posted April 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2014 We got offer but rates are very high looks like to me. We don't usually cruise summer anyway because of all the kids and higher rates. Will hope for another offer for fall/winter cruises. Going on Premier cruise 4/27 on Legend so that will have to hold me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that means next set will be sometime the first week of June maybe for fall offers? Anyone else notice that? This seems to be the pattern. For this year, there was one that ended 3/3. Then one that ended 3/28. And now this one that ends 5/20. Hoping for one in the late summer/early fall for next year. We've been on two so far. Love them. We were on the very first round two years ago and this time, they had a lot more "goodies". Andy :p Edited April 9, 2014 by Harrier1961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy :p Thank you...those are the dates for the ones I received. I will be on my first premiere in a few weeks on the Liberty. Very excited. My next premiere will be my Alaska cruise and am booked already for a fall cruise but hoping maybe a new offer will coincide (I know wishful thinking) with my dates and ship or close to it. I haven't bought my airfare yet for fall one so hoping if there is a pattern I will know sometime in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising family of 3 Posted April 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi, yes I have gotten them before. That's ok though because based on the dates that are listed I don't think any would work for me! Here's hoping for another round that includes the fall and me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldone60 Posted April 10, 2014 #16 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This is the first time I have ever received one. Only two sailings from Long Beach and we are already scheduled for other things for those dates...:mad: It is also the first time in over 5 years we have not had a future Carnival cruise booked. Wonder if that had anything to do with me getting the offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted April 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I got a $97 deal for my may 4 cruise (total with SingleSupplement plus taxes and fees=$204. Just checked and the rate for the same cruise is doubled!! I also get $25 casino cash! Edited April 10, 2014 by ccruisequeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted April 10, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have been receiving these offers for quite a while, but this is the first time I got them by e-mail, received yesterday. They are offering me $550 off the sailings, plus casino cash. (don't know how much) As I am already going on NCL Gem out of NY in August on their casino rate (too good to pass up, and no airfare to boot!) I will pass on CCL.

I really enjoyed the embarkation party they had for the group. Free drinks and appetizers. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okgirl Posted April 10, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This round of offerings is such a rip off. The cruise I would go on is $200 more per person than I've ever paid for that same cruise in the past. I am really so done with the Casino.

The cruise I would go on is $200 more per person than I've ever paid for that same cruise in the past. I am really so done with the Casino. The deals do not seem as good to me either, Janey. In fact, pricing with or without these promotions is up this year in comparison to last year IMO. I was booking every 2or 3 months in the recent past, but have not booked a single thing since the prices started rising this year. I really think Carnival is testing the waters this year with the economy improving to see what the market will allow. Time will tell I guess about whether these higher prices will hold.

I think our next cruise we may try NCL, I love Carnival but I love those that reward us more :) We both got the offer but its not really an offer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clcjdn Posted April 10, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have been watching for these Premier offers and comparing to what I can get from NCL (2 pp comped balcony runs about $600 total). These deals are not as good due to the timing of the cruises IMO. Since these are primarily summer, the prices are higher, and it says up to $550 off the booking. It seems like the fall ones are up to XX% off the booking (during non peak, trying to fill the boat I assume). The other thing I noticed in the last couple of months is that the regular casino offer (non Premier/extra events & gifts) came from John Heald. I previously thought that the casino alternated between Premier vs. regular, but now I am thinking that the casino guys do the Premier, and corporate/other department does the regular offers. I will hold out for a fall Premier offer, but it would have to be a decent deal to get under what I already have "in the bag" from NCL......just my $0.02. :) Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise I would go on is $200 more per person than I've ever paid for that same cruise in the past. I am really so done with the Casino. I was already booked on the October 4th sailing on the Miracle and changing to the Premier Casino cruise rate saved me $200 plus gives me $300 casino cash. So, this does save me $500 and I'm thrilled. The Drinks on Us card isn't as big of a deal to us as it's hard enough to get a drink in the casino and we purchase Cheers anyway.
