I just got the FREE cruise call from Carnival!!

[doneinne]

I never thought I would ever get this call. I just don't have that type of luck. Now to figure out when to go?

[deborahjo]

What kind of offer did you get?

[cruisexlife]

And why did you get it!? I'm excited for you! :D

I've never heard of Carnival offering free cabins over the phone. All of mine have either come in snail mail or under my cabin door onboard. Or you can see them on Carnival's website. Did the person say what department they are from or why you were given this offer?

[cruiser fanatic]

Why did you get it? Also, just because the cruise fare is free you also have to pay the taxes and port expenses.

[doneinne]

It was from a PVP. The number is their Miami call center. I talked to her once already. It has to be used this year. We have to pay port fees and taxes. There are limitations, no Alaska. There are lots of threads on here about these offers. I have no idea why I was picked. We were on a cruise in January of this year. We didn't have anything currently booked.

[vdarrell]

Did you feed the slots or play the tables alot just curious

 

Have a great time picking a cruise and congrats

[doneinne]

Yes, I received my "Drink on us Card" in January. Maybe that has to do with it? She just said they were running promotions and I was picked.

Many times when you spend a lot of money in the casino you will get those kind of offers. I am using my casino offer for my cruise in 2 weeks.

I'm curious if it also shows up in your VIFP offers?

that's a good question i'm interested to know the answer to as well... i've actually been getting a few offers others apparently are not, but definitely not FREE cruises...

Yes, I just checked. There are 142 cruises showing up that are available for the offer. It is showing $50 per person for an inside cabin. From what I've read on here, you get a $100 obc. One of the sailings is the 11 day from Galveston ending in San Juan for $50 a person. Almost to good to pass up.

Just wondering if it had been sitting in his offers and then a PVP that was assigned to him called to let him know he had a free cruise.

 

While I never answer the phone the PvP that is assigned to me, calls multiple times a week,to tell me about the offers in my VIFP account.

so, its not really free is it :cool:

[Boozebabe]

I got the "call" on Tuesday and there were a lot of cruises available thru the end of the year. Haven't decided yet but need to call her back tomorrow to see if any are left. Ironically, today I recieved a Players club offer in the mail. They are not the same.. Different amounts of OBC etc.

[Boozebabe]

Mine does NOT show in my VIFP offers. This is actually the 3rd time I've been called with a free cruise. The second time I had to turn it down and never thought I'd be called again......and then Ta Da....the magic call on Tuesday.

[Boozebabe]

so, its not really free is it :cool:

 

Well now, that depends. I don't screw around with slots. I play tables and have done very well, so for me the answer is an emphatic YES it is free.

[bakersdozen12]

In my opinion, these "free" cruises are not actually free because you are paying for the cruise, just in the casino.

[Boozebabe]

Actually our FREE offer came in my husbands name. He spends maybe $100. per cruise in the casino. I am the gambler not him. The casino offer came in my name. They were 2 different offers. A PVP does not call or book a Players Club cruise they call about the random free cruises.

[bnorris10]

Would be awesome .... Now other than slots like on black jack table can they tell how much u spent or won or just how much you initially put down and how long u played

[doneinne]

Mine isn't through the players club, it's through a pvp. I think it is just randomly picked.

What is a drinks on us card?

If you accumulate enough points in the casino they give you a card that allows you to drink for free in the casino for the rest of the cruise.
