cas = casinos at sea

 

i get a 20% discount on any cruise that has a casino. (ie: NOT pride of America)

 

i booked on board my current cruise through the CruiseNext desk and had them transfer it to CAS.

i booked a GTY room but if i booked thru cruisenext, i get to pick my room #.

 

after i got home from the cruise, i called up CAS to get my 20% discount.

unfortunately, since im past final payment, if i change anything i get a penalty.

so no 20% discount since the penalty is more. :classic_sad:

 

so basically i paid $80 more to pick my room # (which is an angled balcony).

vs saving $80 and getting assigned a random balcony.

 

wished i could bake a cake and eat it too, as the saying goes :classic_laugh:

What cruise are you taking that 20% savings is only $80??

it's 20% off the non-ncf portion of the fare, which is usually around $20 x '# of days'.

rule of thumb is that 20% off is actually around 10% off in reality.


so my 14day balcony is $800 (+ port fees/taxes + cabin tips.)

ncf: $20 x 14 = $280

$800 - 280 = 520

520 x 20% = $104

 

so i paid $100 more (and not $80) to pick the angled balcony, which makes it a little worse that i didnt get the discount.

Yeah, I knew how it worked because I get 20% off...  I guess We usually end up booking a more expensive room so I'm used to seeing several hundred dollars in savings and not just $80 or $100.

 

Between the two cruises we have booked for 2019, we saved almost $1,000 with the 20% off.
