Rare KarmaCruisers Posted September 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Just getting off the Radiance; from a 3-day weekend cruise. Lost $9100 and earned 8965 points…I’ve literally never not gotten some kind of “Come Back Soon” offer..and usually I only earn 1000 points per day. (Went on full monkey tilt this weekend) That’s CRAZY! Is carnival trying to tell me..they no longer want me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted September 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Likely just an error. Check online to see if you get a bounce back offer. Did the host give you any comps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted September 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2023 So if I paid $10,000 for a cabin, Carnival should just keep giving me free cabins? Maybe Carnival is telling you to slow your roll. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will likely have a casino offer in your Carnival profile on their website under "My Offers" tab. Just because you didn't get a card in your cabin mailbox doesn't mean you won't get an offer. Check online in a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May1cruiser Posted September 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Been there and done that. Was really upset. This was a few years back. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and look for this offer. Good news is they did send a "we miss you " email and offer. I have since lost more money on subsequent cruises. I feel your frustration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you cycle through $9100 or did you take $9100 with you and lost it? Just trying to figure out the math here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the casino, how was the cruise? I had previously sworn off Radiance's holiday weekend cruises after being on one that was really over capacity and then on top of it, we had bad weather, so there was not a bit of free space inside that ship to sit and relax. Lines and lines for everything and you just couldn't escape the noise and crowds. ... But I'm already starting to reconsider ... she's a great ship and so easy to hop on over a 3-day weekend.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: aside from meals and casino time; we stayed in our room and watched movies.

Are.we.there.yet? Posted September 5, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hopefully something will show up on-line within a few days. We had this happen once. DH got his early on the last night but nothing for me and I did more damage. We had time to go to the casino to ask and they swear they put one under our door for me but nada. It was there on-line a few days later. Honestly, the regular offers are way better. The bounce-backs haven't been coming with free play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bounce-backs haven't been coming with free play. Got a “cruise play repeat”..50% off next cruise. Lol, wow. I think the real problem was; I only played MAYBE 3 hours total in the casino. (I was betting $5 a spin on dragon and lightning links, and I basically slot-tourney-style tap, when I’m on tilt, so I would burn through $500 in like 8 minutes((100 spins))) I think they want people to gamble a minimum of four hours a day (they don’t care about theo or points; just TIME)..and I don’t have the patience to sit in a casino for four hours a day; while on a CRUISE. (Vegas is an hour flight and I can sit in a casino all day long) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only spent 3 hours in the casino, not sure you would really get a good read on other players points. 9000 points is actually getting low these days. I thought I was cooking with 11,000 on our last cruise, until the girl sat down next to me and had 56,000. She was rapid firing $5 on Lightning Link. She wasn't doing too bad either lol. Ended up with a bounceback OV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can also say that points at table games are weighted proportionally against slot points. I don't know what the proportion is, but it definitely isn't 1:1.

Also table points can be subjective since the numbers are added by people... Slot machines don't care if you call the drink staff "sweetie" in front of their dealer ship spouse.

We were booked on an offer that included: OV room; $500 free play + cheers package (we don’t drink booze really though, so the value is lost on us) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
