Premier Cruise

[lbt43]

Just booked the Dec 15 Premier cruise.  Anyone been on one of these things?  I dont see a roll call.  What is so special about premier?

You'll get priority boarding and luggage delivery (a very nice perk that I enjoy). You can expect complimentary gifts in your cabin that range from sweets/goodies to carnival branded items delivered to your room a few times throughout the cruise.  You'll also be invited to a welcome party that includes free cocktails and snacks where you'll be introduced to the casino hosts and they will have the first drawing for cash awards.  They will provide you with a list of premier activities that happen all week long (special games and drawings just for premier guests).  If you earn enough points playing in the casino you will also get to play in a slot tournament for free.

So I take it MT_Sea_Cruisers that Premier Cruises are connected directly to the casino? Does this mean you have too spend lots of money in the casino to get a Premier cruise?

There have been many threads about Premier cruises over the past several years.  I've been on 4 or 5, none within the last 2 years.

 

If you do a search of this board for "Premier", thread titles only, you'll get plenty of hits that will give you all the info you need.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like the OP booked a cruise that happens to be a premier cruise, as opposed to receiving a casino offer for this cruise. Otherwise, I think he would have a general idea what a premier cruise entails.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Since it was a Carnival Board, I made the assumption that he was asking about Carnival Player's Club Premier Cruises.

Hey MT!  You answered me nd you didn't misunderstand!  I was offered it by the Casino and I took it!  Price wasn't much different than going rate but do like the casino perks and all that stuff you mentioned is cool!

Awesome!  You may also have some on board credit and/or free play in the casino coming to you.  I met a lady on our last cruise who had $500 in free fun play and did not realize it.  As you can imagine that was a very nice surprise for her.  If you do have this coming to you it will have been listed on your offer.  But you can also check at the casino cage once you are on board.

How can someone go on a Premier Cruise and not realize they have $500 in Fun Play? The amount of Fun Play and all the other perks are right on the offer. I receive them all the time either in the mail or when I log into the Carnival website and look at my casino cruise promos. Plus, I receive emails about it several times before the cruise. We take them often and they are fun. Last one in April I had $1,000 in Fun Play and believe me I knew about it ahead of time!
