I received the Signature offer but we are already booked for two weeks in the Med in late September and early October so we had to pass. I found it interesting that they offered these three sailings. As an agent I checked available inventory and unless CR has an off the books group block of cabins, I found inventory to be minimal. Maybe next year we can go on one of these Signature events.

I had a certificate that I received when onboard the Wonder in early May that was good for either an OV or a balcony cabin based on the sailing date. I purchased a Future Cruise at Next Cruise while onboard. I called mid afternoon earlier this week and was on hold nearly 45 minutes before the call dropped. I called early the next morning and the call was picked up in less than 5 minutes. My rep was good and the call was clear. I had identified 3 sailings and the rep priced all three of them. One was $810, another $3612 and the third was only $284, the first two for OV cabins with an upgrade to a balcony and the third choice for a balcony. Needless to say I booked the cheapest one as it was for an Oasis class sailing with a better itinerary. I am an agent and had checked inventory before calling to book. It is amazing how far ahead sailings are nearly booked out. Along with my booking I did receive the $200 NC OBC and $500 of freeplay. In summary, its like a lottery to get a good call and a good rep.

Correct. I used promo chips at blackjack, 3 card, UTH and at the craps table. You do get paid in regular chips.

They are "Promotional" chips that are different from regular chips and they cannot be cashed in.

I'm Signature and the certificate I received on the Ovation at the beginning of this month included $500 of freeplay if the certificate was redeemed onboard with Next Cruise within 7 days of issuance. Since we received the certificate on day 6, I was able to book a future Next Cruise for the $200 deposit and I called CR within the week after I selected my sailing and completed my booking. My balcony certificate offered cruises on 20 of the 26 ships in the fleet ships, had offers up to 9 nights on some ships, and went well into early 2023.
