FJ1 (Jackpot Deal) added new cruises

[SCBarker]

I check this deal every morning and today it looked like they added more cruises.  I picked up a port hole room on a 8-night out of Galveston on the Dream, eastern caribbean.  FJ1 is the $200 ($100pp) non-refundable for the room, and $200 back in OBC.

I wish they would add deals for everyone. If I could get into the casino and qualify I sure would.

I don't have an FJ1 offer but do have FJ4 and FJ5 (4 balcony, 5 Ocean View) Same price for both. $200 to book room, $200 back in OBC plus have fun play with each one.

Oh hell yes, they added Baltimore for next Sept. I may have to jump on that one

That's why I check everyday. I check to see if they have Galveston. Before today I've only seen it once in the last month.  The deal is only supposed to be good for cruises 5 days or less.  So when I saw they included an 8-day, I jumped.  It's not until next July though.

No Jackpot here! 😪

[BrotherCraig]

I gamble a couple of thousand a cruise so I never qualify for these deals.  I wish.  Meanwhile, I will continue to pay $6000 per cruise.  LMAO

[Anyislandwilldo]

Hubby has that one too along with 17 other offers!!!  It's crazy.

[lubedobedo]

We booked the jackpot deal in March for 8 night out of Galveston on Dream  for next May. $100pp non refundable with $200 back as obc for lido balcony, $250 free play and free drinks for him anywhere on ship. So total with port fees & taxes was $451.84. Good deals out there!

[kitten816]

We just booked 2 $100 pp, 7 day out of Nola in January and then a 5 day out of Nola. Interior only though, but still a steal!

I"ve used two jackpot deals and think the drinks everywhere on the ship is the best part of it.

 

For a caribbean cruise I don't care where and what type my room is as I'll be on the pool deck all day anyways.

How much do you need to gamble to get offers like these?

I gambled $1000 in March of 2018 on a 6 day cruise.

I have been getting casino offers since then but my December cruise will be the first time I've actually used one of the deals.

[lubedobedo]

We have only been on 1 Carnival cruise in 2016. Spent maybe $1200 over the week. Won $600 on Wheel of Fortune. Husband was given a Wheel of Fortune t-shirt and offer to play for a free cruise picking envelopes. He won $50. Also got envelope for free inside room under door on last night. Never took up that offer, no vacation time left then. Had a cruise on Vista for May that was canceled. Trying for next May now.

 I have never really gamble a whole lot of money, because if I'm losing I quit playing and try the next day, I think it's more about the points you accrue. I only play the slots and I could start with a $100 dollars and I can play a few hours on just that, wining some, giving back some, saving some for later in the eve or the next day. In all my cruises I have always come home with a $500 to $800 win, my husband calls it my part time job when we are on the ship.

What do you play? Poker? BJ?

House edge is very different

 

I do that amount in slot play and get cruises practically thrown at me. Just booked an 8 day southern on Horizon for $100pp with $200 OBC (Balcony)

Roulette mostly.  Sometimes Blackjack.

[EngIceDave]

Rating roulette can be tough, have to ask the pit boss guy what he's rating you at per hand and are they counting odds (probably not)

 

Same for BJ, make sure they're rating you right

Thank you.

[EngIceDave]

No worries, this is why slot players get good deals, because they can count every penny bet or won.

 

Table games is sort of expert guesswork, but you have to ask. Many times, if you don't ask, they'll think you're just some occasional player rube and rate you low, because you don't know any better.

 

After sitting at a table for a bit, ask dealer how they rate your play, who does it. He/she should call a pit critter and you can ask him minimums to be rated (not same as minimum bet) and if odds are factored in.

 

Even after a day or two, ask how your play rates so far. How many points you've earned.

great info.  Thanks.   I only drop probably $100 in the slots every cruise so not big on it.  Wife does about the same out of boredom in the casino while watching me at the tables.  lol  Not a big slot fan or gambling on the machines although I do kick ass at the cash grab claw.  I usually walk out with $300-$500 every cruise on that machine.  lol

[EngIceDave]

Here is what EVERY casino is looking for - Time x $ per hand

 

How much are you wagering per hand, on average, for how many hours...that is what matters.

 

Time is on the casino's side.

So if you're only playing an hour or two per day, your rating will be low

 

Typically, they like 4 hours at some minimum wager, per day

 

So ask what minimum wager per hand (spin), do odds count, and for how many hours per day do they look for?

BTW, tell the wife, the best time killer is the quarter pusher

[Datasue99]

We booked both cruises next year with this deal and a similar one.

Magic in March - Mardi Gras in September.

First time we have two cruises in one year!

We both get the offers, but Wife’s are better (video poker vs Let It Ride).
