SoCal Cruiser78 Posted August 1, 2016 #76 Share Posted August 1, 2016 ...My last cruise people were unhappy because they wouldn't give them money offered because they didn't bring the offer letter. That just seems a little unfair.... Yes, it does. I'm sure there is a way for them to track offers electronically. Perhaps they are hoping people will lose their letters :(.

jc7292 Posted August 2, 2016 #77 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I was finally able to take advantage of a discounted cabin with a casino offer. I always book my cruises early and of course there is never an offer when I book. Over the weekend my husband received a casino offer. He hasn't cruised in at least 5 years. I got nothing and cruise at least once a year. I called the number on his offer and found I did have an offer available to me and was able to cancel and rebook. The person I talked to told me if you have a cruise booked that offer will not be sent to you even though it is available to you. 3 out of 4 of us were eligible but have never received notification of the offer. I guess it is necessary to keep checking after you book. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc7292 Posted August 3, 2016 #79 Share Posted August 3, 2016 My reservations were through Princess reservations, made in May. I called the casino department and she finally told me the offer was there. I than called princess reservations and she did a cancel and new reservation. It saved 4 of us each $425.00.

mikel24m Posted August 25, 2016 #85 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I know this is alittle off topic but does anyone know how long you have to cruise when you get a free cruise offer the last night of your cruise? We are going in October and have another vacation week in January so I wanted to wait and see if we get a free cruise before I book another one.Im pretty sure its 30 days to book but not sure how long until sail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Cruiser78 Posted August 26, 2016 #91 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I do not know what you mean. Please explain. It is for high-rollers in the casino. If you wager enough over the course of a cruise, they give you an offer letter on the last night for a free cruise to get you back on board (and in the casino). I've only received letters on the last night offering casino credit on a future cruise, never for an entirely free cruise, but I have heard that they do exist.

On one of our cruises a few years ago, I asked and was told the threshold was to earn a free cruise and it was something like 25,000 points earned on a single cruise. That means gambling $75K. I don't gamble anywhere near that so it was more curiosity on my part. I did have an offer of an almost free cruise a while back (pay only port charges) but that came in the mail and was only for specific cruises that we weren't interested in. Haven't seen anything like that since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrembl Posted August 26, 2016 #93 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I received a offer in the mail today regarding a casino offer. It says to call and mention an offer code. Do you know if there is anyway I can look this up online? Also, does this have to be booked only through Princess. Or can I use this offer with a TA? Thanks the offer code is on the mailing. PS6DM002G. You need to detatch the offer from the mailing flyer. Its $25 in casino cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzlinda Posted August 28, 2016 #94 Share Posted August 28, 2016 This is a little off topic bit I recently sailed for the first time on Princess. On Carnival, I usually get a free drink card once I hit 1500 points. Does Princess have a similar program? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been given a card, but after a certain # of points they start offering you free drinks on Princess. I guess the servers keep an eye on the machines if you play slots. Not sure what they do for those who play table games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Carnival, I usually get a free drink card once I hit 1500 points. Does Princess have a similar program? On the Star they were experimenting with a program where you would earn a free drink for every X amount of accumulated points. At 100 points a free drink appeared on your machine and at 200 another one was added. The next ones came at 350 and 500 points. After that, every 200 points earned added another drink. When you wanted a drink, you would tell the server and then a casino employee would deduct the drink(s) ordered from your tally - you could order 2 at a time and share the second one if you wanted to. I don't know if this will roll out fleetwide but I hope it does. Edited August 28, 2016 by azbirdmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this will roll out fleetwide but I hope it does. Actually it has/had gone the other way. On our last few cruises I noticed the machines were not doing the free drink "count down" and asked the casino host. I was told that it was a test and was not going to be offered fleet wide. Earlier they had a program where you got $10 credit for every X number of points and the drink idea replaced that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We disembarked the Star just two weeks ago, maybe they are doing it on some ships and not others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
