niiaka Posted December 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2014 We just came back from a premier cruise on sunshine. Maria, the host on sunshine told us about the ultra cruise they had the week before us. She said they had incredible giveaways like a free cruise in grand suite with all kinds of things included, 60 inch tvs, samsung galaxy s5 phones, keurig machines and more. She said it was all top notch. Now we want one...lol got new premier offers today and it says if we take one, we will be eligible for ultra cruise invite coming out in august Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niiaka Posted December 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I did see the Casino Players club signs for Ultra Premier - which was black and gold as opposed to the regular premier of black and red. I'm booking one of the 14 options and hoping I get an invite to Ultra :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane0226 Posted December 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Sail on any — or all — of these Premier cruises and you’ll be eligible for our 2015 ULTRA Premier Cruise. Invitations will be sent in August. It’s one of our most exclusive cruises for our very best guests like you. - This is what it says on my offer, so I hope it is also for an ultra premiere cruise.

Jillbu Posted December 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Eligible means you may or may not get an ULTRA offer. Guaranteed means you WILL be offer an offer. With all the Premier offers they give out thru out the year they would have to weed it down somehow. Random or algorithm ?

carncruiser1964 Posted December 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 28, 2014 To be invited to the ultra cruise you have had to sail on one of the players club cruise sometime throughout the year. This cruse is once a year and it is a thank you cruise. They just had this years on the sunshine dec 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted December 28, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted December 28, 2014 my premier offer says sail on one of these cruises and be eligible for our 2015 Ultra cruise. Does "eligible" mean I will definetly get the invite?? Also, does anyone know when in August it will be, or what cruise it will be? Is it a free cruise offer... or something we pay for like the premier cruises? I am considering booking one of the premier cruises I just got the offer for. I have until Feb.19 to book. Are there only a certain amount that can book on the ultra? Or will everyone who gets the invite get to go? I know, I know... so many questions...:rolleyes: If anyone has the actual details of an ultra cruise... or even better the one coming in August... please post it here:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted December 28, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted December 28, 2014 carncruiser1964 - my offer states the same thing. I think I am going to email the Players Club to find the answers... the other question i have is mine says with casino cash, but doesnt state how much. So I did a mock booking and it didn't show up there either. Any ideas of how much Casino cash is offered? Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niiaka Posted December 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The last Ultra cruise was December 6th on Sunshine. My guess is that the u.tra will be between nov-dec based on the august invites going out Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachj Posted December 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I attended the ultra cruise in December on the Sunshine. 200 invitations were sent to Premier cruisers at random 143 attended. The usual premier perks were given and every night 19 names were selected to choose prizes worth at least $200. You picked a numbered ball and won the corresponding prize. Prizes included ipads, iphones, computers, gift cards, expresso machines, and other nice gifts. the best prizes were a 60 inch tv (7 given out) and a trip in a grand suite up to 12 nights(15 given out). A couple at my table won both the tv and the trip along with $2400 in a rollover snowball raffle. The cruises also included paid excursions and spa treatments. Just have to be lucky to get the invitation. Everyone seemed pleased with the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many days was the cruise? Any casino cash come with it? Sorry for all the questions but so far, you are the only one I have found that did the ultra cruise:D Thanks!

I got the offer for the Ultra cruise Sunshine 12/6 but couldn't go unfortunately. My offer was just like a premiere cruise with up to 600 off cruise and $300 cash.

OVER $50,000 IN PRIZES. Melody, if you're a fan of Carnival® Premier Cruises, then you'll be in for one huge treat. Introducing the maiden voyage of our ULTRA cruise on Carnival Sunshine™ 12/6/14 – 12/14/14.

wdazew Posted December 29, 2014 #19 Share Posted December 29, 2014 We were on the Dec 6 Ulta. It was very nice. The invite goes out in August. No one really said when the 2015 would be held. Everyone offer may be a tad different based on your level of play. You had to have so many points (I think 7500 based on a John Heald facebook entry) and attended a Premier cruise during the year. Our offer was for an inside room which we paid a fee to upgrade to balcony. No transfers were included. We were one of the lucky one to win the grand suite gift. Very nice package, that does include ground transfers, 8 to 12 days in a grand suite for any North American cruise which must be booked by Dec 2015. It includes chef table, one dinner at upgrade resturant, $500 spa, $500 picture package, excusion packge, and some other things I can't remember right now. Every casino employee treated the Ulta guests as the very very best VIP treatment. If you get an invite, and if you can get the time off, I would highly recommend going.

Rebels82 Posted December 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I am going on my first Premier Cruise in Feb. on The Splendor. What are "usual Premier gifts/activities" that people talk about? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdazew Posted December 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 29, 2014 a lanyard, drinks on us at the start of the cruise, a welcome aboard party, a plate of chocolates, sometimes cookies and/or chocolate dip strawberries, that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hightownCO Posted December 29, 2014 #23 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Wdazew, Is the free cruise you won on the Ultra considered a taxable gift? Or are they calling it a 'comp'? Just curious as I won a cruise at WDW years ago and had to pay taxes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels82 Posted December 29, 2014 #24 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have Priority on my Boarding Pass. 1. Is that because of Premier or that we have an Ocean Suite? 2. Does Priority mean we get to board in one of the first groups? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachj Posted December 30, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 30, 2014 You must claim each prize over the irs limit, I think it is $1200. most prizes were not worth that much. It is not considered a comp. I talked to th customs agentt specifically about that point. I assume the next ultra cruise will be in November or December, with invites going out in August. I was given a free interior but the bigger shooters were given balconies and cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
