popsec Posted January 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Has anyone one received the new "premier" offers that were mailed out on the 9th? Michael said I'd be getting the offers but we are just traveling home from a cruise so haven't seen our mail yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason534 Posted January 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2013 He told me on Friday that they had just been mailed. It's for 7 day cruises on select dates and ships he said. I'm guessing we'll see them this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popsec Posted January 18, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm amazed that these were supposedly mailed out 9 days ago and still no sign of them..........hmmmmmm :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGoof1 Posted January 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2013 GF got her offer yesterday. Not the cruises we hoped for but her cash back was the same $300 as our last VIP, sorry, premier cruise. I called since I didn't get my offer and got my cash back amount. $900. Was $1250 on my last one but I really didn't play as much as I hit a couple jackpots and wanted to take it home with me. I expected it to be lower from what I've read. I know there are fall premiers out if NY and Baltimore. We'll be on one of those. Interesting that one of this round of offers is Barcelona. Someday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiagolfer Posted January 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Haven't receive in the mail yet either, although I did receive an Email from Michael that they were available. Cash available is $300, whereas last fall it was $500. Will wait and see what else is available in the offer before booking. also seems like less available ships and dates this time.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted January 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2013 My offer was $7,500 cash incentive. Not sure if I can make the time or not... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiagolfer Posted January 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Got my offer in the mail today. Same as last fall, just casino cash reduced from $500 to $300. Includes free drinks in casino, private cocktail reception, gifts, etc. Not sure about drinks for spouse. Last offer said for both, but this one does not mention. Only 6 cruises available for this offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiagolfer Posted January 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I guess the reaction is mostly ho hum, like mine, over the latest Premier Cruise offer.:eek: Not a lot to choose from.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willbcruisin Posted January 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I received mine Thursday. It worked for me as I was already booked in May so chose the May one to make it a B2B! I'm a happy sailor :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebsterW Posted January 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I sailed on the casino offer in September, I haven't recieved another offer. How do I get them to send it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted January 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I sailed on the casino offer in September, I haven't recieved another offer. How do I get them to send it again? I don't think that there's a way to "get them" to send you an offer. First they have to have offers, and then you have to qualify for them... though there are plenty who slip though the cracks - myself included. I understand that Royal Caribbean recently made connections with MGM's Mlife program to give some perks. I'm going to look into that further as I'm Platinum with Mlife (just missed Noir). I am much more hopeful with that than Carnival's connection to Venetian/Palazzo which pretty much only benefited slot players (a: I don't play at those properties, and b: I don't play slots)!

PA Dutchman Posted January 21, 2013 #19 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I haven't received the offers yet........but the "premier" offers are distinctly lackluster after the great VIP offers of yesteryear :( Hi ya doing popsec, we got the offer and its the same as the one we are on next week on the Breeze, only $500 this time last May it was $1300 for the Pride. We are doing the Diamond cruise next week, it worked out good, 25% off for the Players club and then called the diamond number and got another 25% for our diamond cruise.

pe4all Posted January 21, 2013 #20 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just received the offer Saturday. I can't believe I can't make any of the sailings!! They just added two days of school on to our school year to make up for time lost from Hurricane Sandy, knocking out the June one I thought I could make! :(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did get the mailed offer but when I go to the Carnival website and click onto VIFP offers the Premier offers come up......it just doesn't show the casino cash. And I miss the $1250 casino cash offers from the past......the $300 offers just aren't enough to entice me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I miss the $1250 casino cash offers from the past......the $300 offers just aren't enough to entice me...... Agree with you on this. Even the offers last fall were for $500 casino cash, and there were more cruises/dates to choose from. Not that we need an incentive to cruise, but it sure is nice to receive something when we do (price breaks, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This round of offers totals $1200 so we didn't get hit as bad as some of you. My concern is we are looking at taking the premier in Sept and it will be that much longer since our last cruise. I wish Carnival was hooked up with Caesars Total rewards. I don't want to switch to NCL but they keep offering free cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to turn down a complimentary NCL offer over the holidays as I had already signed on for TWO free Celebrity sailings during that period of time!! Glad there's multiple lines out there -- keeps the options open thanks to a little bit of competition for the player! Some lines are like AVIS ("they try harder")! :D Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
