I'm still waiting for my 14 Journey's Cruise on Nov 1st to get canceled! I thought for sure it would be by now. It hasn't shown available online to book since June.

I'm on this one also, waiting for them to cancel

Just got an Ultra flyer in the mail today and it says Sailing info to be released May 8th, 2019.  So more coming up

just got back Sunday 12/2 from the Premier Plus on the Conquest. This was a 8 day cruise. Only 50 cabins so about 100 invited. Lots of drawings for free play money but the cabin gifts were not exciting to say the least.  In room on arrival we had the lanyards and drink cards. Room gifts were as followed: Fruit basket with wine day 1, day 2 bottle of champagne, day 3 plate of 8 cookies, day 4 chocolate covered strawberries, day 5 plate of 4 cookies, day 6 2 beach towels, day 7 nothing, and the big final gift::2 bottles of water and 2 Godiva chocolate bars!  When I enquired about the gifts from the casino host he said the water bottles, blankets and other better gifts have been discontinued for ALL premier, premier plus, Ultra and Elite cruises. They are making all the gifts “standardized” across all the casino cruises.  So the beach towels are now the big gifts.   He did say they were getting a lot of complaints but the powers to be decided the gifts and the hosts have no control of them.   He did comp us a dinner for 3 to the steakhouse as I was with my mom and hubby. 

Got an Ultra offer for Dec 6th so will decide about that but wanted to give a heads up for anyone thinking about doing a casino cruise and thinking there were great room gifts.

Got a Premier Plus booked for Nov 24th on Conquest.  Suppose to be all the perks of the Premier but no cash.  Checked my luggage tags today and no priority listed like for previous Premier sailings.  Called Carnival Casino number and was told Priority was not going to be on the tags and that there was going to be a "special" line for Premier Plus guests.  Never seen a special line for them before so we shall see.

Hi! I don't take my Plus until November on Conquest, but I've heard 50 cabins max, and lots of themed activities. Everything else is typical Premier. Again, that's just what I've heard. Looking forward to your review when you return! Good luck and calm seas!!

We have a Premier Plus booked on the Conquest also for November 24th.   Looked at luggage tags today and no priority like on previous Premier cruises.  I called and they said no priority on luggage tag but they will have a special line for Premier Plus guests.  Hope that is true, never seen a special line for it before.

yes

No there are not

The person with the Premier/Casino offer must be on the cruise so if it was you good. If your husband the offer will not apply to you any longer since he is not going. They may remove the casino rate and charge you the going rate for the cruise instead.

Hi all,

Got an email today for a free balcony cabin (pay port charges and taxes)for a Premier Plus Cruise. There are 12 cruises to choose from from August to December 2018 and only 50 cabins per cruise available.

You get all the normal perks of Premier cruises but NO casino cash.

I booked the November 24th 8 day on Carnival Conquest out of FLL and it was just $250 total for the balcony for both of us. You can book more than 1 cruise with this offer if you want.

This offer is not listed on the VIPF offers on the website. As a added bonus I had a cruise booked already for this time frame booked with a norefundable deposit of $198 as a casino offer and the agent refunded me anyways her comment "You had no way to know you were getting this other great offer so why should we penalize you" why indeed :):)

I see a couple of Bliss cruises (clothing optional) full ship charters for Celebrity:

Celebrity Infinity * April 8 - 13, 2019

Celebrity Infinity * April 20 -25, 2020

Also FYI Celebrity does give money off for booking a back to back. You must get your cruises linked together and ask for it. We have a 10 day and 11 day booked B2B on Reflection for 2019 and the money off was $100 per sailing applied to your final due amount.

My sister won $1000 on the pull tab ones that they sold during Bingo in October on the Breeze

If your price quoted is $6116 and does not include grats it is $127.41 PPPD. $6116/12/4. Add Grats for a total of $6812 and it is $141.91 PPPD. Sounds like a good price to me, as I look for anything under $150 PPPD

No gifts or drink cards for the kids, otherwise just a normal cruise. If you spend your after dinner time in the casino and the kids can do their own thing.

I just sent in and received a confirmation for the Breeze steakhouse for 8pm on November 3rd. I do think that a lot of people make reservations for multiple nights then change their minds or don't show up when on board. Last time we were on the Breeze (Oct 2017) the steakhouse was FULL when we arrived for our 7:30 pm reservation.

Want a new friend? I can go!

Premier guests are priority for boarding but board AFTER Diamond, Platinum, wedding people, and FTTF. Premier also do not get early access to their cabins like FTTF does.

She can take them in the pill containers if she likes. We do it that way and never had a problem. If we have any higher degree medication (pain meds) I take them in the original prescription bottle.

I have a folding dolly that I can bungie the soda in the cartons onto and just wheel it. Easy to remove the cases for security and back onto the roller. After security you can place a carry on on the same dolly to save carrying it. Saw several people using this method on our last cruise on the Breeze

following as I would like the same info

While I don't know about your cruise being a Premier, it is not true that they don't do B2B Premier cruises as hubby and I just got back from B2B Premiers on the Breeze.

Most of the Eastern scheduled cruises will probably do the western routes so unless you are keen on Mexico ports I might cancel.
