Please share and tell us which casino you visit (locally) give you a free cruise voucher...if I am visiting the casinos anyway, I might as well frequent one that might give me a free cruise voucher at some point :D. Thank you in advance...

I have gotten them from the Taj Mahal and Harrah's in Atlantic City. I also got one from my local casino in Hershey PA, Hollywood Casino. I get so many offers I can't use them all.

CET is partnered with NCL, so Caesars, Bally's and Harrahs give them out, but also if you have a

Players card from them, you can get a discount by just calling CAS. Golden Nugget gave one out a few months ago....inside cabins only to every level of player

Harrahs sent me offers for 2 free NCL cruises last year and I've already gotten 2 new offers again this year

 

We've flown to Vegas and got one so far ....Great thing is my wife gets ones as well and they allow you to combine 2 certificates on one cruise saving the upgrade charge if u like .......or you can use one certificate and we could of gotten 2 diff cruises free.....of course u have to still pay port fees, taxes and any upgrade charges u choose

 

But what we did was wound up with a Free Balcony and still upgraded to a suite

 

Leaving in 2 weeks on NCL DAWN and can't wait to hit the casino :o

Unless somebody knows something I do not know, you should realize they don't just hand them out.

 

They are targeted to players. They invite people that they think will spend more than the cost of the cruise.

I have received certificates for NCL from Maryland Live & Horseshoe Baltimore, 1 for RCCL from Horseshoe Baltimore, 1 for Carnival from the Riveria and 1 from the Flamingo for NCL. I have received several other offers I haven't been able to find the time to use them.

We find that if we call CAS directly we get better offers than using the "free" certificates, and we can pick which cruise we want.

 

depends on how heavily you gambled on the ship.

 

I went on 2 free cruises from my local casino.

only earned about 1000 points each time on the ship. (horrible video poker and they don't give lots of points for craps.)

 

CAS is only offering me a 20% discount.

(even though I lost $2000 playing craps.)

cant wait to see what Maryland Live is offering this year.

wonder when the offer will come?

 

have yet to receive an offer from Horseshoe Baltimore. :(

apparently Caesar's is different from Maryland Live. THey don't do it by Tier level.

it seems almost random how you're picked.

Got one from Hollywood Casino last May but couldn't pick it up because I was going to be on a cruise!! However, just found out you can have your casino host pick it up for you and hold it till you get back! :eek: Wish I had known!! :(

I have received cruises from the New Orleans Harrahs and from the CET casinos in Las Vegas (Rio, Planet Hollywood, Caesars, Ballys, Flamingo & Harrahs). Their offers are all on NCL and I usually get balcony cabins. I have never had a free cruise offer from CAS although I reached 'Golden' status with them last year. As I cruise 4 or 5 times a year with the CET certificates I guess I don't gamble enough on board per cruise to get a free cruise offer from them, but I do enjoy the free drink card that is always waiting in my cabin when I board. I also get a Specialty Dinner and bottle of wine from CAS along with several plates of delivered goodies during the week.

Thanks so much so posting this. I just called my host and he said he will hold mine until I return from my cruise.

I have received offers from the CET properties - usually an ocean view or balcony, although I've gotten offers for inside cabins also. I didn't know you could combine the offers for an upgrade - good to know! Have a great regional host and she's booked me on Breakaway, balcony cabin for the April 19, 2015 sailing. First time on Breakaway, so I'm looking forward to it.

I would have gotten one from Hollywood St. Louis but since we had already booked a cruise we didn't get it. Can't take more than 1 cruise a year even if it's free.

 

Yes 'Free' isn't exactly free, but I'm trying to be a bit more frugal when I cruise! It's fun with current promo picking up the UBP so I don't have to go to the casino for that 'free' drink....but I will spend a little time in there;)

We have had offers the last 5 years from Vegas Harrahs properties. We live in IL and never made it to Vegas in Feb to pick them up.

This year Harrahs in Joliet had their first cruise offer for NCL went to pick it up .

We stopped at Hollywood on our way home. Left our cards at home so we stopped to get new cards. The person asked for our email we gave them . A few weeks later received e mail to come in on Friday for a cruise cert. I told my husband I was driving the 2 hours to pick up my cert. He says get your sister to go ! I checked his e mail and he also had a offer. So we both drove the 2 hours to pick them up.

Going June 6 on Getaway! Hope we get s free cruise from the casino staff while we are on the ship. Cert was for inside but we paid 300 each TP up grade to mid Bal plus port fees and taxes.

Need to book the 2 offers by June 30 for the Carnival cruise. I like the bigger ships so what ship would be good? Or are smaller ships better for getting free cruise?

My offer was anytime except Holiday for Bal room. My husband was inside no holiday no June July or Aug!

When I received my first offer from Horseshoe Baltimore I was Platinium, the second offer I was Diamond. I have also received offers this year from 2 Vegas Caesar's casinos the Flamingo & Planet Hollywood but wasn't able to find a cheap fair to go pick them up.

For Carnival I would book the Breeze or the Glory. I play slots and did pretty good on both ships.
