triple7tahoe Posted December 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Around the first of December, I received a casino offer (email) for a free balcony and $1100 casino free play on upcoming Australian cruises. There appeared to be four choices and offer did say I could use up to three-I was surprised in that there seemed to be no limit to the number of those cruises I would be allowed the $1100AUD? We were on our way to Australia on a transpacific cruise that would fit in with one of the cruises being offered so I booked it (VIP cruise). We then realized that we would have 14 days between cruises. I started looking to see if we could extend first cruise for B2B and/or start our second cruise early and make it B2B. Neither of those cruises were listed as a choice on the original offer but I did have an offer for a free inside + $250AUD that would work. I called the Casino phone and found a person that was willing to book the second offer. I could not find the offer code that I had used to book the balcony so I booked the inside offer and I asked if I could upgrade to balcony offer if I found it. I was told yes; found the offer number and called back within an hour. System was down and they could not make changes since their system was down-"We will call you when it is back up" 🙂 I waited until noon today and called back. I got a young lady that was willing to work with me and within an hour, I had moved from an Inside GTY (IC) on both to Balcony BA on both. I now hold confirmed bookings for both an inside and a balcony but have been told the interior will fall off soon. Fantastic!! I now have another concern-I am fully aware that the Casino credit will be in AUD$ but do wonder what will happen with the $200 per person, non refundable deposit? The deposit is in US$ and is supposed to be credited back as OBC. One would think that it would be returned as $US OBC but I am guessing that it will show as $AUD, which will mean that I will lose the "totally refundable_ part of the offer. Time will tell 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's real money, while the casino freeplay is fake money. I understand completely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
