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

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.

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 ?

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

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!:)

I don't think the Ultra cruise is in August, just that the invitations go out in August. At least, that is how I read it.

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.

Was this a free cruise? Also, does it come with transportation to and from the airport like the elite cruises do? 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. There was no mention of limo transportation which I imagine is for Elite cruises. I received the offer via email with all that info. This is what my email said

RECEIVE $300 CASINO CASH AND UP TO $600 OFF FUN SELECT® FARES.*

 

YOUR ULTRA CRUISE INCLUDES:

 

All of the exclusive treatment and privileges of our Premier cruises with $10,000 in cash and prizes. AND more than $50,000 in prizes awarded, including:

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.

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.
