Upcoming casino premier cruises....

[popsec]

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.

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.

[popsec]

I'm amazed that these were supposedly mailed out 9 days ago and still no sign of them..........hmmmmmm :confused:

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.....

Here's the offers if i did this right.

[Georgiagolfer]

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.

My offer was $7,500 cash incentive.

 

Not sure if I can make the time or not...

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.

Very cute. As much as you sail, you may not be able to make the time. LOL

I got one from Princess today in my email. Will look for Carnival's when I get home.

I guess the reaction is mostly ho hum, like mine, over the latest Premier Cruise offer.:eek: Not a lot to choose from.:(

[Willbcruisin]

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 :)

Very nice. Is the premier the first or second half? Pros and cons both ways.

It is the second leg of the sailings.

I haven't received the offers yet........but the "premier" offers are distinctly lackluster after the great VIP offers of yesteryear :(

[DebsterW]

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)!

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]

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! :(:(:(

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......

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.)

Last year between Gf and I we got $1500 cash back. 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.

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
