KPtoronto Posted July 7, 2015 #76 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That's where you're wrong my friend. Elite cruise has a lot to do with luck of the draw and not gambling habits. Norwegian rates their players properly and comps accordingly. You're telling me that my Haven Suite ($4199), casino cash, free drinks, specialty restaurants any night I want with wine included, and fantastic treatment from the NCL casino staff isn't as good as the Carnival "elite" cruise? I haven't been on an elite cruise but if it's better you're going to be in heaven and never cruise another line again. I have friends that only cruise Norwegian because they know their being treated fairly and we all get comped to our level of play, no guessing games or drawing out of a hat like Carnival. I love the people on Carnival and wish I could choose to cruise them again but they have made it impossible. Norwegian makes it MUCH easier to say Hasta la vista Carnival! Is Norwegian still out of the running compared to the "elite" cruise? :) I took my first cruise on Carnival 3 years ago, I live in Canada , Had limited access to cash was able to gamble upto 5k., which is very low compared to my gambling habits. 2nd Cruise on Royal Carribean courtesy of Mlife (MGM Casinos) Gambled a lot more ., 3 Cruise on Carnival.... came prepared Gambled Gambled upto 25K lost it all, Last day of cruise hit a jackpot 32k. even plus won around 7k.on the same cruise I was offered a lot of perks. That was first year. Since Then I have never looked back, I still get my yearly free cruise balcony offers from RCL due to my Mlife status. But Carnival continues to amaze me. I have had only done a Premier cruise once, That too because it suited my schedule and I liked the iteniery. I have done 6 more cruises in last 2 years on Carnival. Never on elite., But the Perks you are mentioning here I get them on every Cruise with Carnival, I will say even more than whats advertised on Elite Cruise., So my friend I don't know what your experience is with Carnival., They have treated me very well so far. BTW I have a Credit Marker upto 50K too now with carnival , so I don't even have to worry about taking cash with me or arranging to wire money before hand. from My personal experience Since my second cruise with Carnival , They have comped and treated me well atleast at par with the Vegas casinos ,and trust me nobody comps like Vegas.

Meandrolf Posted January 28, 2019 #77 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I just received and booked an elite cruise. The person I am taking with me has never sailed Carnival. Will all my perks (free drinks, shore excursion with the group, private parties, etc) include him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I am reading the offer, they should. We did an Ultra and my husband was able to participate in everything but the big gift drawing. We just booked two Elite cruises for 2020, so I would appreciate hearing how yours went. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meandrolf Posted July 13, 2019 #79 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I asked Carnival this exact question because the person I’m taking has never cruised with Carnival. They told me he was also included with everything except the drawings. You are exactly correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
