Check your VIFP offers!!

It really does seem random, although that is a difficult pill to swallow. However, to the person mentioning the slot play points vs. table play points, that makes sense from the casino's standpoint. Slots odds are horrible and are even worse on a cruise because there aren't any state laws to follow. Table game odds are the same no matter where you play because of the nature of the game. People lose, and are basically guaranteed to lose, on slots. Not so much on tables. Yeah, some win on slots but the payouts are set that every single slot takes in a lot more than it pays out.

OK.... so I cant seem to get into this stupid website to figure this out. My PVP is of no help. can anyone figure out what my offer includes?

 

Id LOVE to send my husband on a cruise. We each have different offers. When I log in to check for myself, the website just spins (not sure if my computer is acting up or if its the website).

 

My offer says "use code PTF", my husband's code is "PTC". Id love to sail him out of either Baltimore, Norfolk or charleston. Anything on those for these fantastic low rates with those codes? Im ready to smash computer because all it does is spin spin spin spin spin. :cool:

I "think" I know what you mean by "spin." I get an error when I go in under the actual offer. Actually, the page just sits there kind of grayed out or rather "blued out." If you go in to the regular booking engine and make sure you are logged in, the offer will show there. You have to wade through other cruises and offers, but you are able to see the casino offers.

The best thing to do is sign in under either your name or his and then "plan" and then book a cruise. I would chose to search for cruises by port since you know where you want to leave out of. As you see the different itinerary's, click on "show dates" and see if any of those are showing insanely low prices. Mine had a red box that said "special offer" next those sailing dates, I think. But even if it didn't, the low price stands out. Try this under your name first and then his name. Since you listed 3 ports, I would try all of them. This really takes some digging, it is the only way to be sure you don't miss the offer.

Thanks, I just clicked Baltimore while I was logged in under him and I dont think my offer is as good as everyone else's. $1,100 for an interior in April to Nassau/Freeport as a Casino offer is the cheapest I saw for him. No thanks. i guess we need to gamble more. :D

 

Ill poke around more.

The regular casino rates are garbage. If it's not a Premier Cruise I can always find a better rate myself than the casino rate.

 

Keep looking, I'm sure something will pop up. :)

It worked when I did as the previous poster suggested and created a user ID for my husband and logged in and searched bookings that way. The special offer came up that way. The cheapest I found was out of SC for a 5 day to Bahamas in an interior upper/lower for total of $515 to Nassau/Freeport on 3/1/15 (just like PVP found). I'm assuming there are levels to the casino offer. I play Blackjack tables and some slots, and husband plays slots. I'm betting the posters who are getting the $25 rates and $120 balcony rates are higher rated gamblers than we are. We cruise every year, enjoy playing in the casino (among other things). If they offer us a "to die for" rate some day, we'll book an extra cruise. If not, then so be it.

 

Id be happy to get the "drinks on us" perk while playing in the casino :D

[jeniceglassman]

If you booked early saver, you should be able to get OBC for the difference, right?

Have never used early saver yet..you can see this puts it on my list of things to do!

[surfone]

My husband received his offer by letter and then we looked online and pulled up the options. Today we found that it extended into July (was through June initially) we booked the balcony, too. $495 for the 2 of us for 8 nights. I did not review the Conquest before booking but seems to have average reviews.It looks nice! We booked the L shape balcony cabin on deck 6 (has an extra large balcony) but no sofa.

Thanks for posting this. We just booked a 7 day Alaska in July. None of the other offers thrilled us or the dates didn't work so we are excited to try an Alaskan cruise.

We cannot, we each get $600, priority embark & disembark, free drinks in casino, gifts each nite, bottle of bubbly wine, 45% off, tough to beat, let me know if u do. SORRY this is Premier misread your post

I checked each of the 6 family members' Carnival VIFP account and none of us received this offer.

 

That's ok, I did receive the free cruise offer last year and was able to get a spa inside on Splendor for $0. :D Can't complain!

Great. We looked at the Alaska, too. Wonderful deal! Going to try to book one next year. I went on Holland back in 2008 to Alaska and next time we want to do a cruise/landtour as we just didn't have enough time to see and do all we wanted. Coming from the East coast I think it will be nice to extend and do a land tour, too ...enjoy your upcoming cruises. I see you have a few scheduled :)

[Ms. Fun Bunch]

So excited I decided to use my offer and book a B2B cruise on the Pride!!!!!

[ccruisequeen]

I only have Vista offers, which would involve travel to east coast

 

 

I still cruise for warm chocolate melting cake (with two sugar free vanilla ice creams)

[Crusin Karen]

Finally convinced DH last night after talking to him for a few days to book either the Splendor B2B or the Pride on 4/5 and finally meet up with Jamman and Patti for some mudslides and just as I logged on, the prices went back to "normal." I am super bummed. :(:(:(:( Hopefully we will get something another time. Everyone enjoy your bargain cruises! ;)

Darn Karry, we were sooooo close!! I'm not fully convinced that pulling the offer completely was the plan, but a system glitch as they prepared to put the Vista's NYC sailings and beyond into inventory for bookings. It seemed as even though a lot of sailings sold out, there still seemed to be a lot of inventory for the offer left on many ships and sail dates. I wouldn't be surprised if the offer pops back up in the days ahead. If it does, book ASAP, as it won't be there long. Fingers crossed that I'm right. I will be talking to my "source" later. I'll see if I can get some insight.

Karry, please check your PM's over at the other place.

[kendracruises]

If you call in to Carnival you might still be able to get the deals for Pack and Play. Some are having luck doing that even if it is not on your offers anymore.

[gthomley]

We are a family of 3 and the Offer is great for the first 2 and then regular rates for the third. I did the math and 2 cabins (4 people, 1 virtual, 3 real) is cheaper than 3 people in one cabin but the rate is only good if I'm the primary in each cabin. While it appears the system would let me book 2 cabins with me as the primary in each would I have problems when I showed up to check in? Would I get credit for 2 sailings 2x7=14 days? Would I have 2 Sign and Sail cards?

 

I love creative games like this but don't want to get turned away terminal ;-)

 

Any thoughts?

[ccruisequeen]

Nothing new unless I want to cross country for the vista

[titlediva]

I got the offer in my vifp offers, but when I click on it, it never goes to the cruises. I'm currently booked on the Conquest in an 8C for 3 under a casino rate, but our total is $2716. Do I have to specifically ask for the rate code to get the special?

[islandatsea]

Only offer I have is the Vista for Europe or the T/A with $200 on board credit.
