The casino offer just gives a discount and some casino cash. The Premier offer gives bigger (sometimes) discount, more casino cash, welcome party, gift in cabin, tournies, goodies in cabin, raffles, etc. More perks. Have no idea what the Players Club Getaway is.

I doubt that they're offered on the same sailings. I've booked under a "regular" casino offer and it was just a reduced rate.

 

I booked on the 11/29 Freedom Premier cruise (my first). Rate was less than the usual rates and I'll receive $300 casino cash, free drinks, and other goodies. That offer was only for 9 specific cruises and they sold very quickly.

 

I then received an offer for a 1-time sailing "special" casino cruise that (stupidly) overlapped with a couple of the Premier cruises so those of us who chose the 11/29 Freedom or 11/30 Pride couldn't go on it if we wanted.

 

I currently have another Premier offer that was for about 11 cruises, including a few shorter ones, that was from last December until early March (I can't sail during tax season so ignored that one).

 

No idea what the Getaway is.

 

I'm guessing you simply need to do a "fake" booking and see what comes up. Or use your PVP. They have access to the fare codes and can tell you what you'll get with the different offers.

2 years ago I was offered a free cruise through the players club. I had to call & find out what the catch was, the answer was NOTHING. I asked where can I go then, the answer anywhere anytime "Where would you like to go". We ended up booking the Valor out of San Juan. We got a balcony room & as I recall $150 in casino cash.

So it never hurts call & find out exactly what they are offering with each offer.

My wife and I have been offered a good rate and $700 in casino cash EACH for a 6-day or longer cruise. The only catch is we must sail my March 31. How can we NOT take this offer?

I got my current casino offers about 4 weeks ago, and they show they have to be booked by October 16th and sail by May 31st. The premier casino cruise offers I have show they have to be booked by October 28th. I think I have 11 choices of premier cruises right now.

Those are the offers I have too. These are my first casino offers. With vacay time limited at this time of year, do you think i will be getting more offers in the next round if i can't book one of these? have you had previous offers that you didn't take them up on? i would love to do one of these cruises.. but have limited vacation days left for this year.

Probably. I am down to cruising CCL once a year, and I still get the Premier offers and casino offers each time a new one comes out.

Thanks! Hoping I get more too to take advantage of next year. have you ever gotten one of their free cabin offers?

I am handed an envelope the last night in the casino for a free inside cabin. Must be booked within 2 weeks of debark, and cruise must be taken within a certain time period. (I think 3-4 months - but don't hold me to that) Due to teaching schedule, I can never take them up on that offer. I do book under casino rates on all my cruises, though. (or Premier, if I can swing the dates)

Hope that happens for me too! Of course, I have to get on my first casino cruise to find out :rolleyes:
