wannagonow123 Posted July 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I used to get 3-4 emails from Princess Players club for a free room every week. I currently have 4 booked. Last one I got was late June. Fast forward, they started up again, but now the offer is 1/2 price, not free anymore. Has anyone else stopped getting the good casino offers? I'm figuring that Princess is selling more rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted July 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2023 We used to get free casino offers too. Now we get offers with 15% off and an OBC. No big deal. Not enough to motivate us to bite. Guess Princess is getting cheap like everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted July 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2023 We still have a standing offer of free inside and $250 free play on any cruise under 21 days. Of course the good bounce back we received on the last cruise of free balcony and $600 free play they can’t seem to find even though we have sent screenshots twice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadn13 Posted July 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Princess has started to pullback offers recently. It also seems they are doing the same with Princess Plus, it’s not offered as frequently either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclue Posted July 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I think we are going to give the Carnival Jubilee a shot - have an offer for a free balcony and $500FP, plus drinks anywhere on the ship. Not a Carnival fan but this is a new ship so will give it a shot after we have used all our offers for 2023 with Princess.....four booked . Princess is just getting really weird about the casino offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roxievegas Posted July 11, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Our offers are not as good either, and this is after doing 7 cruises in the past 18 months. We have a cruise in 3 weeks and if our come back and play is not a free cabin, plus package, and free play money we will not book either. We have a free cabin offer from Holland America, and we are planning to book something for next year, and then we will see what they offer. Crusing may be on hold for awhile with us.

Thorpe Posted July 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Probably not quite on topic but has the casino contact email changed? I sent an email to globalcasinoservices.zendesk.com Got an auto reply saying this is your # and we have a large number of enquiries. Didn't hear back in over a month so sent another email, this time no auto reply? Any help on how to contact them would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CynCyn Posted July 11, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I figured mine dried up because on my last cruise I played until the last day with their $$ ($300 casino credit). I never got up by more than $100 or down by more than $100 until the last day. Then, I gave them $200. Oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best was last year our bounce back offer was $500FP and balcony and Plus package. same play on this cruise last week..only balcony and $500 freeplay, no plus.

Last cruise, no PP just the balcony and FP but then trying to claim the offer thru that call center is a totally different story....It is like pulling teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my last offer they used a place holder code to hold the booking and then transferred in the real code once it was available. This was June.

Jadn13 Posted July 11, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Outside of CBS offers your regular Princess consultant can book comp’d casino offers and help with issues. I put a casino cruise on hold due to a site glitch that kept listing my middle name as “undefined”, the next day a Princess rep reached out. He confirmed he is able to book comp’d cruises and completed the booking. He also helped with removing/refunding an incorrect transfer. He confirmed he can book everything but CBS offers and that we can reach out to him for future casino comp’d cruises.

I do not have a Princess consultant as I always use a TA so perhaps that is why although as said I do not play heavily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say points what are you referring to? Is it the points that show on the slots after playing for days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those are the points used to calculate your offers. As a rule both my wife and I usually have well over 5,000 points per 7 day cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted July 11, 2023 #22 Share Posted July 11, 2023 how much do you have to bet on slots to get a point? - Is it just based on the wager, and not if you win or lose? - or is there some kind of algorithm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone more educated on Princess' points structure will clarify, but I recall from last month, that when I played $5 per spin/pull, I accrued one point. With that in mind, let's say I spin every 10 seconds at that level: that's 360 spins per hour, 360 points, $1,800 run through the machine. How/when/if they provide comps is tied to your expected losses, which is linked to the points, which signals dollars through the machines. There's no exact science that they'll reveal, but as far as I know, if you play for a few hours over a few days and start building points, perhaps you'll get an offer. Oh, if you play table games, the staff will 'rate' your play, how many dollars per bet and how long you play. Have fun playing. If you enjoy yourself, don't lose more than you can afford to, AND you get a comp, then that's a win-win-win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
