Everything Casino Offers -- Premier, Getaway, Pack&Play, and other Casino offers

[wmwmarmstrong]

All my offers expired a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the next round. They never came?

 

Has anyone received new offers?

I'm thinking they dumped me, lol

 

No, I have not received any new offers. I do still have a few Premier cruises left to take.

Hopefully, I will get some by then.

Yep, received offer in the last couple weeks. Email and mailing. First time for Premiere casino offer for me, but none of those dates worked for me.

Yup we received offers a few weeks ago. We ended up booking the Magic in January. Small discount on the cabin and $1000 casino cash.

Getting ready for our first Premier at the end of August. Here is my question if anyone knows. Do they do the drawings the same as the regular drawings? Specifically, every Premier guests' name goes in the hat for every 100 points you have or is it just that you're a Premier guest and your name is in the hat to be drawn same as everybody else's? I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

 

As for the earlier question, I still have the Dealer's Choice through Aug, 23rd, some Premiers that came out not too long ago through Sept 12 and a free balcony for Premier Plus on a limited number of sailings through(I think) August 16. Took advantage of that sucker ;)

Casino cash is now offered in place of an inexpensive trip! The cruise prices now (Ultras, Premiers, etc.) are just about what the non-gaming public pays! The only good deals left are the 'bounce backs'!;)

That's why in my opinion, there are leftovers not sold in all the categories!

[sc4125]

We got the Bounce Back offer after our last cruise. I was really disappointed - the only cruises offered were 3,4 and 5 day and none of them were "free" even thought the offer said free interior.

 

Bounce Back offers in the past were much better, but the last 2 I've received were, like I said, disappointing.

[lukewin]

My husband had about 15,000 points on our cruise in April. On that cruise we did receive comp dinner at Cucina (I don't eat meat so steakhouse was not as appealing), we had a nice comped bottle of wine at dinner, plus some sweets sent to our room. I don't recall any sort of bounce back, but he did just get Premier and Getaway offers. We chose an 8 day Premier in Jan on the Horizon. He is getting $500 Casino Cash plus reduced rate for room.

 

One question for those that have been on a Premier, my husband and I are cruising along with my MIL in the same room. I've seen mixed answers about who gets his perks. Does he get to take a guest with him? Can he take 2?

 

I gamble but not as heavily and this is my MIL's first cruise. I'm sure there will be lots of time spent in the casino. ;)

 

Hope it's not too late to answer. I just got off my first Premier. Can post some pics of info of the handouts later. I booked the room for me and a friend, but made sure to book a room that could accommodate 3 for the same price as 2, except for the taxes/fees. He later asked if I'd let his gf come, and I asked if he was sure he wanted her to go. He said yes.

 

So back to your question, my friend got the perks. He got the casino drinks, and he couldn't even buy her a Cheers! package, without being charged for everyone in the room, and there was no point in buying 3, when 2 of us had the casino drinks.

 

The offer was for a free interior, $200 with $200 onboard credit and $200 casino cash for me. We each paid $100 for the room, and the $100 onboard credits were in mine and his. She paid $129 for the room, which is normally how I've seen it in the past.

 

I gamble heavily, moreso the time spent playing, than the dollar amount in betting. If she hadn't gone, I'd probably done other things on the ship with him, but since she was there, I spent most of my time in the casino.

 

He played $20 on Roulette, for about 20 minutes. His name got called for one of the drawings, to play a game, but he wasn't there because it was 11:15 pm, and I forgot to remind him to show up for that one. My name didn't get called at all.

Would love to see the pictures of the Premier handouts.

We leave on our first Premier in a week!! :D If you have time to post any pictures or more information I would really appreciate it.

Just returned from a 7 night cruise on Miracle and had over 7500 points. Host comped a dinner and wine but no bounce back or ANY VIFF offers. No premier offers. Kinda pissed.

Sorry no offers were made but I have had that many points many of times and didn't even get a comped dinner.

 

Did you have to ask host for that?

Just wondering if you have taken your Premier Plus cruise yet? I have booked the one for September 15 on the Conquest. It is now one week away and I still can't print my luggage tags or boarding passes. I called Global Sales and they said I would be able to print documents shortly before the cruise. Did this happen to you? If you have taken your Premier Plus cruise, what was different from the regular Premier cruise?

[JennyD1]

Has anyone taken a Premier Plus cruise? Is it different than a regular Premier cruise? I booked the Conquest Premier Plus for September 15. Was able to check in online, but unable to print any paperwork. Carnival told me paperwork can't be printed till a few days before. Anyone else having this problem?

I haven't heard of Premier Plus, but I think I have seen two levels higher than Premier - one is called Ultra, and I don't remember the other name.

 

I just got off my second Premier cruise, the biggest gift was Player's Club embossed passport holders and luggage tags, both seem very good quality.

 

I haven't had a free cruise offer in almost a year, although I gamble more than I did previously so I don't think the bounceback offers are based soley on points. Three years ago I got a free Alaska cruise offer (most expensive of the available free cruises when looking over the calendar of free cruises) at the end of a free cruise. Back then I played $10 avg bet and gambled five of the seven days, probably three hours each day. I just got off the Horizon betting $20 avg bet and gambled eight of eight days, probably four hours each day. I got a PC4 (I think) - reduced rates on limited sailings with only $100 casino cash.

 

Time to go back to landlubber vacations! :)

I haven’t taken my comped Premier Plus cruise yet (November), but when I booked it, they made sure I understood that these cruises are booked under a group cruise booking, and that nothing can be printed until a few days prior. No idea why, but I wanted to let you know it’s standard for the Premier Plus apparently. :)

[cruisemein]

To Sam...I received the same info, a week before we sail. I am still curious about the difference between a premier and premier plus, some on this board claim there is no difference. We are going on Horizon Oct. 20 sailing, a premier plus, when we get back I will post

No, the host found me while playing and offered. Just got off RCL with less play and got much more, including free cruise. I just think Carnival is not really showing any interest in my return business.

Free cruise? Yay for you!

 

I think Carnival is doing this to many past cruisers, not just you.

I was finally able to print all my documents for my Sept 15 Premier Plus. I will post when I return. I hope it is not as crowded as the regular Premier cruise, where every slot machine is taken.

I just got off a 9 day NCL Baltic cruise, where the casino was closed a lot of the time. Played much less than I have on any cruise. Got off the cruise Wednesday 9/5 and just got a postcard in the mail for a free cruise on 12 different dates through Dec. 17. Unfortunately, can't make any of them!

I now try to avoid the Premier/plus cruises for that reason. I find the casino too jammed for my taste - even if they do alot of giveaways. And many of the premier prices are not great deals! (except for the cashback in the casino) I have now been booking the "dealer's choice" cruises - discount and casino cash back, and casino not as crowded!

Unfortunately the casino is crazy on all the casino cruises! Everyone trying to get their points to get another free one [emoji6]

 

What we do is play at off times when everyone is off the ship when it's open or sleeping.

 

You'd be surprised how empty it is at 8am or 1am

 

Good luck

We find also on the casino cruises that we are little fish in that big gambler sea . We're gamblers both alot of time and money on cruises and land for that matter but we seem to get less attention from the hosts then regular cruises we are on because so many people gamble like a rock star on those cruises. I remember on one we were on the second day a lady had 100000 points [emoji33]. I don't know how that's physically possible , I thought maybe a back to back that the points carried over but I saw it with my own eyes

I know the Premier cruises are very crowded. I am hoping the Premier Plus is not as bad. The offer was sent by email. Hopefully, not as many invites.

Did your free cruise offer also show up when you log into your VIFP offers?
