elainmir Posted March 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2023 It's been a hot minute since we've been cruising due to work schedules/covid and all the life things. After having covid and being hospitalized for 12 days at times I have difficulty recalling things and have to go reeducate myself. So bear with me guys. Hubby and I booked an offer with 500$ funplay credit and free drinks anywhere on the ship. Specifically I feel like I can save that 500 Funplay credit to use toward gratuity, am I correct? Also do the drinks anywhere work like they do in the casino? I get my drink and see it comped in my account with only any gratuity I add showing up as a charge? Also refresh this old lady on what all I can use FUNPLAY for..I think I remember using it on slot machines also...Thanks again guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted March 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Funplay credit has to be used to play in the casino on slots or tables. DOU anywhere is used like Cheers. It will show up as 0.00 transaction unless you add a tip. If you have additional OBC, that can be used for gratuities 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that almost ALL of the casino offers require a $100 or $200 pp deposit that's refunded as OBC. It's THAT OBC that can be used for almost any purpose, including gratuities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanpatricksmom Posted March 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Also, there are still some ships where they actually hand you cash rather than having it available to download on the machines (the Spirit class ships as an example). If that happens you can certainly choose not to play it and use it to offset your onboard charges.....I personally don't have that level of discipline, LOL! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sailed on the Spirit in February and had fun play credits as well as drinks anywhere on the ship. The fun play credits were not handed in cash. They were downloaded on to the slot machines per usual with fun play credits. It was nice to have the free drinks everywhere too. Wish they would bring back that offer again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil2Angelic Posted March 12, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2023 We just got off the Miracle a week ago. The casino was giving cash for their free slot play casino offers. Most ships it's loaded onto your card. Also, if you're platinum tier, don't forget to go to the casino cashier and get your $25 in cash as part of your perks.

Mymomsgirl Posted March 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Legend was giving funplay in cash last year. Sunshine and Mardi Gras loaded it onto card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted March 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The last time I got real $$$$ was on Pride Journey's cruise in January 2020 . $1000. Ten one hundred dollar bills. That was nice but that is over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdan Posted March 14, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I was also on the miracle last week and was handed $1000 in cash. I played it all on the table games. There was a long list of players being handed cash on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckF Posted March 14, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Going on Magic in a few weeks. What if you don't play slots? Do they give you chips, or a voucher to redeem for chips at a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time Miracle was updated, more specifically, their casino? Maybe Miracle doesn't have that software yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casino is nice though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elainmir Posted March 15, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Seems like we did pay a deposit so we should get that back..I'll go back and look. That'll cover gratuity.. I thank you for your help everyone, it's been crazy since I had covid and trying to get back on track 18 months later. You all are the best!

dallasdan Posted March 15, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2023 on the Miracle they removed the casino bar last October and added more slot machines. There is a non smoking side for table games but it is still close to the smokers so some days the smoke was heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elainmir Posted April 30, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I did go back and look we do have 200 OBC so we'll use that for gratuity and we have 500 FUNPLAY so that'll be great. The drinks all over the ship does that include the special coffee bar also? I don't know if there's anywhere that's excluded for that. Thanks for all of the help everyone!

Cruising Oma53 Posted May 2, 2023 #24 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I just did an online booking that is to include FunPlay credit and drinks. Is this suppose to show up on my booking information or does everyone just assume it was booked correctly with the casino offer? Thanks for your help.

dallasdan Posted May 2, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 2, 2023 It doesn't show up on your booking. I went to oceansplayersclub.com and select verify your casino offer. They will send you an email confirming what offer you have booked. I have never had a problem once on board, however, I always have the email back up just in case.
