I was told that when I book A CAS room that I can also book 2 additional rooms at 10% off. Has any other CAS people done this? Will the guests in the additional booked rooms get the drink cards ?

 

I did this last may. My CAS cruise was a 'free' cruise for myself and my SIL who shared the room for me. I was able to get my nephew and his wife in another room for 10% off and they were given the lowest of the drink cards.

 

What they have stopped it allowing one person to book that 2nd room at 10% off without charging them a single supplement. So, if it's one person in that room they will be charged as a single.

 

Not sure about two additional rooms as I've only done one extra room.

Yes, according to this chart:

  • Lucky - No drink card
  • Hot - "Complimentary House Drinks While Playing in the Casino"
  • Golden - "Complimentary Premium Drinks While Playing in the Casino"
  • VIP - "Complimentary Ultra Drinks While Playing in the Casino"

 

I am curious, which drinks are considered as premium or ultra drink?

Premiums are brands like Grey Goose, Jack Daniel etc.

Ultra is a very good question.

I asked that on a recent trip on the Dawn. They said I could have anything. I asked again for specifics. Bottom line was at the casino bar the only brand I could get with ultra over premium was Johnny Walker platinum.

Premiums are Absolut, Absolut Citron, Absolut Peach.

 

Ultras are Grey Goose, Chopin, Ketel One, and Belvedere.

In October 2014, that was not the case.

You're both likely correct.

 

Ask a a number of servers, bartenders and casino hosts; may get various answers as to what a particular card tier should receive.

 

I had experience with this issue during my cruise on the Epic last year and it took way too much of my time to get some sort of resolution to some very simple requests/questions. Once I did get resolution, it was a pain most times when ordering. The last few days of my cruise, I drank my own wine that I paid to bring on board. It was worth the hassle.

 

It seems to me to be clear cut since they have a list, but not only are the staff poorly educated, IMO, they leave it up to management. Example: you can be a very good player, regardless of your level, and a host will approve just about any thing you request. Maybe the "mystery" of it all is intentional.

 

Another problem is that the casino bars may not carry all the premium and up liquors or decent (meaning anything above their "swill" blends) wines.
