Hey there, I'm going to try not to make this sound like a rant, I'm genuinely interested and concerned.
So I been on I think 5 cruises this year... I'm not a high roller gambler in the casino, I tend to maybe spend 100 in the course of an entire cruise, but I'd always regularly get casino offers/rates regardless...
So the first few cruises at the beginning of this year and end of last year, I'd email the casino and they would offer me drinks on us...
I recently turned platinum about 3 cruises a go, and I've noticed I don't get casino offers anymore, and the casino basically tells me I don't qualify for any comps....this past cruise I even accumulated a few hundred points. Way more than a typically accumulate, and I still basically get told sorry you don't qualify. This never happened to me before....
I'm just curious if this is a thing. Do platinum guests not get as good deals or is it just a coincidence? Maybe carnival is tightening up their purse strings due to low stock price?
