Razor_Poke Posted October 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Finally got our money back from the cancelled Irma cruise, so I'm checking prices and dates this morning. We're a little gun shy with all these storms so decided to look at LA cruises. Never done one anyway so what the heck. Normally, I'd use a TA but I decided to just check things out first and just for kicks, entered my wife's VIFP number just to see if she had any different rates. WOW -- I thought it was a system error. OV's and IV's for the Inspiration Oct 30 pops up at $55 and $75 PP. I'm freaking out because even though we've had some casino deals before, they were nothing like this. And the funny thing is, she doesn't gamble much. Maybe a $100 in a week on some penny slots. Plays that quarter push machine thing more than anything. Anyway, I don't dare close the page and book away. What a nice thing after the disappointment of our cancelled hurricane cruise. Even ended up using fewer FF miles to fly there too! I went back and checked our email and we received nothing from players club recently. In fact, I can't even duplicate the deal now, although that may be because we used it up. My only slight disappointment is there was no bargain on suites, but heck I'm still so happy. This is the first time the taxes and port fees were more than the fare!!!:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted October 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Nice to know you are having more benefits than disappointment from Irma! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammee Posted October 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like some pack and plays came out. My son got a $50 with 50 back in onboard credit. Can only be used through October. He's in college and can't take the time off, what a kick in the behind. If it would have been November, he had a break. None for my or the hubby, or I'd be jumping on it.

carib1 Posted October 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yep, me too. Just got back from a cruise last week, and low and behold a Pack N Play offer showed up! $50 per interior room with $50 OBC, but only for cruises in October. My DH can't take anytime off in October-AARRGH. I hope I get another one for some dates I can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_everywhere Posted October 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Book it! There might always be a chance to upgrade later once the ship fills in the Guarantee rooms. Seems like these offers have very wide patterns of who gets them and when. Nice deal from a unfortunate situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted October 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Book it NOW! I found something similar about 2 years ago. It was a Pride Journeys cruise for $75/pp!!!! I was like you and could not believe my eyes. I thought it was a typo. Showed DH and he said, we'll book it tomorrow. This was about 8pm. I just could not take my eyes off the page and told him to book it IMMEDIATELY which he did. Next day the price was gone!!!! :eek::confused::eek: IDK how I got so lucky, but we basically did a 2 week cruise for $150.00. :D:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalgirl27 Posted October 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2017 For all of you getting the Pack N Play special, how much on average do you spend in the casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted October 7, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted October 7, 2017 For all of you getting the Pack N Play special, how much on average do you spend in the casino? DW spends less than $200 and on our cruise this summer most of that was in the coin pusher machine. We've gotten decent deals a couple of times but nothing close to this. She's far from a high roller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markmom18 Posted October 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hi, We're booked on the October 30th Halloween cruise on the Inspiration too. I booked it months ago, no balconies available. We live locally and like these short mini vacations. Mmmm.... I'll have to check the Pack n Go prices. I paid it off quite awhile ago, so my price is my price. But, I'm curious as to the difference. Don't forget to bring a Costume ! :cool::cool: Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
