First Free Cruise Offer!

I was on the Carnival Paradise from October 14-19th ..... on October 29th I was sitting in line at the donut shop at 10:00 a.m. on the 29th of October when I got a call from my PVP asking if I was interested in a free cruise ... I answered the phone because his number is in my phone .... I said ÿes: thinking it would be in a month or so ....and he told me it was leaving the next day ..... if it would have been out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale I would have turned it down .... but when he said Jacksonville (which is about 4 hours at the most from my home) I just could not say no .........I put it on facebook that I had won a cruise and did anyone want to go with me ...... most people are thinking a scam ... but it was my 20th cruise and I knew it was for real .... my cousins wife got in touch with me ... and she wanted to go ... had all the right paperwork!!!! So I actually won a free cruise and I don't use the casino at all!!!!!!! We just had to pay $73 a piece taxes and port fees ....... got a 5 night cruise .... paid tips onboard (I always do this in advance ... but with less than 24 hours notice ... no time to do that!)

Free cruises do happen!!!! And not only to casino players!

So how good were the donuts :D ? Seriously congrats ;)

We got Maple Bacon donuts!!!!! I had never had one before (I am not a donut fan) .... but I LOVED these!!!!!

I also got one of those calls from my PVP. Sadly I couldn't go because I was going on Glory the next week and couldn't get 2 weeks of vacation in a row. Mine was out of Baltimore to the Bahamas. They occasionally get them to give to their clients for just port fees. I guess you could say you "won" it although there was no contest involved, just a good PVP :D.

What an awesome surprise!

That is the reason I don't like to say "won" .... you are right .... I have always heard these come from playing the casino which I never do ... but I have referred over 60 people that have booked cruises ....so maybe that helped! I am so excited to tell everyone about cruising!!!!!

I'm sure that had something to do with it :)! I never get casino offers, either and it figures the time when I could have cruised for almost free, I couldn't go :loudcry:. What kind of nonsense is that?!

I know!!!! I bet in 50 years I never get a chance again that I can actually take!

Congrats! Maybe someday I'll get lucky and be able to.

Sweet deal!

Hey, a 5 night cruise for < $200 + tips for 2 people sounds close enough to "free" for me. Congrats!

Working with a TA, we don't get calls like this unfortunately! And, no way we could go, since we are in the middle of the country and would have to fly no matter what.

I just got an almost free one too a few days ago

Offer from the casino from last week.

8 day Vista 4J big corner cabin for $454 . With $200 obc and to my surprise I booked with my Amex and they gave me the $100 statement credit somehow even though it wasn't quite $500.

$154 for 2 ! Can't wait

Maybe I need to get a PVP. I live just two hours from JAX and love to sail from there. In fact I'm sailing from there on Dec. 11. EM

Congratulations on your good fortune! Enjoy your cruise.
