You can call Carnival now. The agents say the computer doesn't show the listings yet (they said maybe by noon) but they can tell you what they are if you want to know. The sailings are from April to October 1.

 

Thanks so much...I thought something was wrong there. I'll wait until this afternoon and then call PVP if I need to.

Actually you fool....when I gamble I view it as play money so if I lose then I lose. It has nothing to do with winning or losing because on the cruise I'm going to gamble regardless.

 

It has to do with why would I ever go on another cruise without it being a premier. You get the additional perks. My favorite perk being the drinks on us card. I'll usually run up a $200 bar tab every time I gamble.

 

I don't do the slots either. Blackjack has the same odds on any given random hand.

 

Hopefully I never play cards next to this guy

CdrescherRBL152 No I didn't loose came back with my money and some more and my other half came home with an extra $400, but usually comes home on non premier cruises with an extra 1k-2k. That is exactly why we won't go on another Premier cruise, they have to make up all the things they gave for free which especially includes the cash as my other half got $900 back...but for us, its not about getting our cruise for free (with the cash and incentives we received) we rather pay for the cruise and have fun winning more money, I know this may sound odd to you, but, isn't it more fun when you win bigger than just $400, it is for us.

 

I just checked my other half account, we do have Premier cruise offerings, I told him thankfully its not on our Magic April 30th cruise, because if it were we just cancel (still have three weeks to cancel and get our deposit refunded) that cruise. But there are many cruises throughout the year that are Premier offerings for those who are interested and there are 7/8 night cruises too!

 

THE FULL LIST OF PREMIER CRUISES IS ONLINE AND INCLUDES 7/8 NIGHT CRUISES TOO FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED.

Well I've given my "donation" every time we've gone. I usually play at least $3k. My wife will play around $1500. We've done 5 cruises since 2011. We drink and go on excursions. You do the math on how much we spend.

 

Tell me if you are the ceo that you wouldn't want a customer like me back.

Three of my past 4 cruises over a 1-year span have been Premier. I never get a bounce-back offer, and my premier offers are "just" PC4 ($300 casino cash).

 

I really enjoy them. Yes, the casino is busy. I've never had any real issues getting a drink (the servers are very busy so you do need to be patient). The roulette wheels were busier on my Spendor to Bermuda sailing (which was NOT a premier cruise) than on the three Premiers.

 

Two of the three, I came home with cash, so since I didn't use my entire budgeted gambling allotment, I consider that to be winning!

 

I was hoping that since I just took an 11-night Journeys sailing that was also a Premier, I might get a better offer this time (since there were more nights to gamble), but it's "just" another PC4.

 

Since I'm on the Vista Inaugural, I won't be able to take another spring cruise. Hope they'll still include me in the next round of offers. Vista will be #25, so I'm hoping for something good to use my Milestone credit on. ;)

We took our first one this past May, its not for us because the casino is always crowded and we also got the bounce back offer which is a nice thing that Carnival casino does, we didn't take that either lol.

 

We also NEVER had any problem getting a drink, in fact, I thought they were fast and were constantly around to serve.

 

Does anybody know what the PC2 gives out, just curious.

 

I am very surprised you didn't receive the premier offers, did you check this morning as they were just added?

Same difference you seam to think you should have won more. It is gambling thinking you should win x dollars is foolish. Yes it is more fun the more you win. But you can't count on how much you win. Heck if I was to use your logic I would never go to Foxwoods or Mohegin Sun again. Cause although there have been times at both I have won 3000 plus there have been times I lost. And using your logic can't have there any more. Plus keep in mind you might have only won 400 but add in what you didn't pay for the cruise. Now that is what you came home with you won't have had if you had paid for the cruise.

He would of won more if it weren't a Premier cruise, they tighten the machines more. Oh trust me, he has a knack of finding the machine that pays, always does, even in Vegas and Hard Rock Tampa, Foxwoods and in all cruises none of us can understand how he does it he just does its a feeling he gets and I certainly never question it, just laugh when he shows me what he got, as for me, I hold steady pretty much and most of my gambling trips pretty much come home with my money I left with which is winning for me!

 

Your correct, add up what we got back in cash your correct the cruise cost us a tiny fraction but we prefer to skip the premier cruises because they are too crowded in the casino.

First, I would call you PVP and ask, just so you know whether you have any or not. We love RC/Celebrity, sometimes Celebrity has an offer with a free drink program so watch for that and its always nice having a variety and yes, their balconies are very very nice much larger.

The premier casino offers I just received show the lowest 7 day fare at $429/pp for the months I looked at - which to me is no bargain.

 

Since I'd be sailing solo, that's over a thousand bucks for cruise fare and port charges. OUCH!

Yeah the one we got before was $900 cash to me $150 to my wife and I believe we paid $2200 after taxes for a 7 day cruise. We had the spa balcony. This was for 2 adults and 1 child in 1 room

I am already booked on the Sunshine Feb. 5 which unknown to me is a premier cruise. I will ask on the boards and check with Carnival before I book my next cruise. My dates and ports are flexible as we are retired. I try to avoid cruising during busy times and will also avoid the premier cruises so I can enjoy the casino more.
