ADMIN FEE when booking casino comp....

[megansdad1]

My Encore cruise in April, I booked with an offer from CAS from my local casino.  Booked it solo.  The only fee was the $140.

Yours should be $220 each.  Call CAS and get it sorted out 

I called and was told they had a discount of $100 each. Don’t understand it but it is what it is! So we will pay the $240 each so we can cruise with the family. Will definitely be more observant next time we book a casino cruise through NCL!

You will babe charged the $20 per person per day admin fee regardless of whether it is a land casino certificate or booked directly through CAS. And CAS will only book you if you are a rated player on NCL (spend some time in the casino on this trip and every trip in the future could e comped).

I have a 12 day booked thru CAS  --not land based --discounted NOT comped.  My administration fee is $320 per person !! I called CAS and they said the $20 per day ($240 for 12 day)  is for comped cruises only!!!  This can't be right ..or is it??

It's starting to sound like this is correct, based on the OP's original question and some other comments.  I've only ever did comped cruises thru CAS, not discounted.  It does suck though, so you're actually paying something for the cabin.  You would think the admin fee would be higher for those of us not paying anything for the cabin itself

UPDATE--this is reply to my email to "casino inquires"--"20.00 a day is only for comp cabins.  You are a discount cabin and it does not apply for discount cabins".

 

 

I am becoming more disappointed with CAS as of late,  lost my solo benefit (pay full cabin price when solo w/discount) and no discount for admin fees with discounted cabin .  ☹️

I think it depends on who you talk to.  If you don't like the first answer you get, hang up and call back to speak to someone else.

Our 16 night cruise has a $320 admin fee per person.

I did get a second opinion...(see my last post).  I was told on my phone call to CAS that they have no control over admin fees and he gave me the email to inquire. They confirmed...$20 per day only for comped cabins.

I'm curious.... For those of you who were charged the higher admin fees, were the fees at least less than the discount?  Also, does this only apply to the cas discount (vs the Caesars casino discount)?

Thanks.  So it looks like you didn't have an admin fee at all

Look up a couple of responses. They called the whole fare an admin fee. Apparently that's the discounted fare plus non com.
