Well shoot, we don’t “go live” til the 21st but based on those dates I’m not sure when we’d go….was hoping for 2025z We already have the 8 day Horizon booked next fall. Maybe we need a preview in April

 

edit: just saw the later dates. Hmmmm 🤔

There are several 2025 dates available.

Well, guess my offer wasn't for seeing on 18th or 19th.... maybe tomorrow 🙂

I have peeked at my neighbors points too, and wowza, yep, I'm a small fish.

Would love to do the Venezia out of Canaveral but already booked on the Pride that month...

my casino offers are better than the Ultra offer.  Ultra offer is free interior no free play.  My regular offer is free balcony with freeplay and drinks everywhere.  Why would I do an Ultra cruise?

Same here.  Have free balcony offers with better perks - premier, play my way perfect balance and play and chill, etc.  Will skip this ultra offer.

Nice to get the Ultra offer, but the other offers I get seem to be better. Maybe next time

Me too.  I'm getting premier with DOUE for me and hubbs with a free balcony.  Play my way is free suite and DOUE for me and hubbs.  While the Ultra perks are nice, The deals are better on other offers.

Hmm. So much for receiving Ultra.  Mine is supposed to arrive today but I see nothing in my email or in my offers.   
 

Not that I will likely get anything worthwhile based on the comments here so far, but I was a little curious.  
 

Anyone else receive this Ultra offer who was supposed to receive one today?

 

 

[vandercapellen]

My previous email told me I'd see them today. So far, nothing. I'll check gain later today. I'm sure they will be there eventually. I'm also waiting on a TBA room that sails in 3 weeks.

Carnival said there was a glitch with certain offer codes and they’re working on it. My Ultra offer isn’t there yet either. My daughter’s is. (Hers is better.)

[audcc77]

Welp, I received it and it’s a big nothing burger.  As most have said here, my other offers far exceed this Ultra.   

I went on an Ultra on the MG last year just because I had not been before.  I ended up spending a lot for my room, and the same is true with today’s Ultra.   I just don’t feel that unless you get a free room that it’s worth it.  

 

[vandercapellen]

Got mine. They didn't even include my home port. (Baltimore) Not even a good deal at all, I'll stick with my other offers.

[Old Fart Cruisers]

I didn't get an email this morning, but the offers are loaded into 'My Offers' when I sign in. 

Not nearly as good as any of my other offers, or as many options for itineraries. 

• Exclusive Carnival Players Club^® Ultra Cruises offer
• Invitation Only: Available on select Ultra sailings. Space is extremely limited
• FREE* Interior Room. Excludes taxes, fees, port expenses and deposit
• Drinks On Us! included while playing in the casino for you and a companion. Terms apply.
• Reserve your cruise with a non-refundable deposit of $200 per room and get $200 to spend on board.
• Rate Code F1U will be automatically applied at checkout

 

My other offers include balconies, drinks on us everywhere and free play, so I wont be using any of these offer

I agree, I have better offers and don't think we'll be booking one of these - but it does look like the screenshot posted above includes a Baltimore sailing in November 2025, is that not showing an option for you?

No I didn't get every sailing offered to me. I have a free cabin offer with OBC. And I can use it on any sailing 8 nights or less. I think I'll use that instead.

You should be able to access the Ultra offers from your regular casino offers page. I didn’t get the Ultra email yet, but I can see the Ultra offer and dates there.

I just received 1 Ultra cruise offer from Baltimore—November 2025. Would be a good one for me because I can drive to the port.  

[def0715]

Anyone else notice Premier and Ultra offers are available on the same exact sailings? Perplexed. Not sure how they could handle two different sets of people, two sets of drawings, etc, on one sailing. Don’t think I’ve seen this before. I checked three sailings. Premier and Ultra were both available on each.

[TravelBluebird]

I really want to take another Ultra but I’m going to have to look really hard for a time//ship I want to take.  Plus the offers are quite a bit more expensive than the last ones I was offered.  

 

Think I’m going to try to find a date for 2025 as the 2024 dates are quite limited. Possibly one of the Venezia cruises in the Fall as I can get to Manhattan direct from my airport and cruise with my sister from there.

Wow that’s bizarre!  I’d hate to be a Premier cruiser mixed in with an Ultra.

I also saw this when pricing out some cruises, but it was an Elite and Premier??? Weird.

[def0715]

I just can’t wrap my head around it, having done one Ultra and two Premiers. That would be a lot of people who’d in theory be spending a lot of time in the casino all at once. I guess they would stagger the drawings?

Or maybe just combine them? Many of the drawings and special events seem to be the same.

i checked a couple of dates with logging into my offers.  A savings of $30-$50 per person on a guaranteed interior cabin versus the price I can get without logging into my offers, even with the freeplay offered is an absolute insult. When the offer says Up to $1250 off I expected more than the tiny amount that they actually gave me. I'll take a pass as others here have said and book my much better current offers.
