Well, quite honestly, a comp cruise is great, because you do not have to pay for two people in the cabin....our upcoming cruise on the Breeze the actual cost for two people in a cove balcony would be $2615 so that is comp, free.  Depending upon which casino offer you have also gives you other benefits.

 

There are a number of casino offers

 

Dealers Choice generally gives my other half a discounted priced cabin, 1k in casino cash and they give you a list of cruises that offer this program

 

Exclusive casino rates gives you a very inexpensive cost for your cabin plus 500-1k casino cash, priority boarding

 

Premier Cruises give a free interior cabin we upgraded to the cove balcony for just $220,  my other half will get $500 cash and we both get gifts in our cabin each night (champagne, wine, chocolate covered strawberries, beach towel, lanyards, tumblers, cookies, etc). we also get other things such as dinner at the steakhouse and tournaments and drawings for cash prizes plus spa treatments, shipboard credit, etc.  We also both get the drinks on us car and invitation to cocktail parties.

 

Ultra Cruises give what the premier cruise gives but give you a balcony cabin comp, free shore excursion, priority boarding, comp parking at the port or a private car service to and from the airport.

 

Supposedly they added for the premier cruises a comp gift and a goodbye gift and priority debarkation.

 

So it is worth getting these offers because on my next cruise I only had to pay the taxes fees and upgrade to the cove balcony and only cost us $600.

 

I wish they did give us a discount to the cheers package, the drinks on us card is only to be used in the casino, and when your docked at ports the casino is closed so we still have to pay for the drink package, and most of the nights at the steakhouse and the internet package, but heck, we saved $2k!

 

Hmmm.......     and how much $$ does it cost to qualify for a "Premier/Ultra/Casino cruise thingy???    I would love a "free cruise"  but not one for $6000!  

 

I must be missing the point here???   Is there even a point??

I don't know how much, I can tell you that we both have come home with more money we left with, so, its not all about getting these offers because we lost, maybe we getting these offers because many times we won and they want their money back lol.

 

No way does he spend even 3k on a cruise no way, I believe he always brings 2k but always comes back with money.

Do the chairs recline at all?

Actually, one of the chairs is adjustable, with the back able to recline.  The other chair is stationary.

If you say so, but I have never seen a cruise bill for less than $2K, unless you book the dudgeon?

I have my first cove balcony coming up so I checked this thread out to see if I could get some info but I am super confused by the OP on this one. Being that it was a comp, you didn't have a choice to where you are staying or you didn't check how low the room was when you booked it? Also if you've been on 91 cruises why are you asking questions like hows the internet, which dining room is the brunch in, is it cold and where is the muster station? I'm sorry I'm very confused

Jwjax-  The 2k is how much he brings to gamble.

 

matymil-  I didn't have a choice of cabins because I just booked 9 days ago, within 4 weeks of my sailing, I had to grab whatever was available.  The casino offer was for an interior or Oceanview whichever I wanted, but I paid $220 more for the cove balcony as there were no oceanview staterooms available.e.  I knew the room was on a very low deck but it was the only ones available and we wanted to go away for that particular week during Memorial Day, and out of Port Canaveral and for a week long cruise so there were no other options other than the Breeze.  We are already booked twice on the Harmony of the Seas out of Port Canaveral within the next 8 months and simply wanted a different ship, there were no others out of Port Canaveral, and Disney would never be an option for us.

 

I simply asking how is the internet because I found that certain ships the internet is ok and others its horrible, I never been on the Breeze, thus the reason why I am asking.  Regarding which dining room the brunch is in, I can't recall I been on so many cruise ships and other cruise lines sometimes you forget.  About the room temperature, I find all Carnival ships to be on the warm side during the night even with the door locked and curtains always drawn, but I have read two posts somewhere that stated their stateroom was actually cool during the night, so again, the reason I am asking here to see if there are any other people who been on the Breeze found their staterooms to be cool during the night, and confirming the two other posts that were placed on other sites and not here on cruise critic.
