Hi everyone! Going on our 12th cruise this summer (10th with Carnival). My question is how do you get or find out about casino offers? I hit the casino every night, usually for 3-4 hours, so no doubt that I gamble but I have never received any offers. Is it because I only play table games (Black Jack and Texas Holdem with some 3 card mixed in)

With that many cruises I know you show your sign n sail when you sit down at the table. The way I understand it is...if you sit down and say, on the first hand in three card poker, you hit a straight flush, huh your pay is $800. You continue to play on that $800 for several hours, it's not based on hours played but rather how much money is played....NOT won or lost....But money played. I was in the casino every night on the first 15/16 cruises and NEVER got any type of casino offer. Finally decided I was tired of being a LOSSER, and I might stop in the casino once on any given cruise now. If this is not correct I'm sure others will correct me. Hope this helps.

Your casino offers will be on the carnival site. Sign in and there is a link at the very top that says Your Cruise Deals. Click on the VIPF Club section to see your casino offers.

 

 

Or you will receive offers through the mail. IMHO your not going to be offered anything from the casino if you don't gamble.

Yes, the OP said he gambles and asked how to find out about casino offers. Any offer in the mail also shows up online, but those online do not always show up in the mail. The only casino offers that don't show up online are the bounce back offers. Those are offered on the ship as a letter delivered directly by the casino staff, or in your stateroom mail.

I believe OP asked how to get them, not where to find them.

About 11 months ago I was on a cruise in the casino and talking to a man who was on Premier Casino Cruise. We were both playing roulette and I asked how he gets the offers. He told me(you have to do it with roulette and I don't know why) that you buy in for $100. Make a few bets over the next hour maybe totalling $20. In that time you buy another $100 then cash out like $80 and 10 minutes later buy back in for $100. He said maybe spend $25 or $30 a night for about an hour or so for at least 5 nights of a 7 day cruise. He said it gives the illusion in the system that you're a degenerate gambler because you keep buying back in. With the dealers constantly rotating no one really knows what's going on but you. He said the pit boss will see you keep buying back in marking you with points. He told me he hadn't paid for a cruise in almost 10 years except for premier cruises and goes on at least 10 a year.

 

So I tried this and have been receiving casino deals and pack & plays since February. Because of this trick I'm now going on my 4th cruise this year and am 27 and don't make a ton of money. Fortunately time off isn't an issue and I live in Florida so cruises are easy for me to do. I've done this on every cruise I've been on since last December and my casino rewards keep coming in. One will expire and I have another. It goes back to what others have said. It's not about wins or losses. It's about constantly playing. If I ever have downtime at night I just hit the casino for a few hours. It's nice when you're number hits too!

 

My PVP also told me they look at who utilizes the deals too. If you use the deals given they're more likely to keep them coming especially if you can book at least two a year. I'm not sure if that's true or if she wanted to entice me to book and give her booking credit, but it makes sense.

 

Having said all that, I am forever grateful to the man for his tip in getting these deals. Sir if you were on the Pride 11/30/14 out of Tampa and are reading this Thank you! I really appreciate your advice and it has worked perfectly for me! My friends and family also have enjoyed these cruises for next to nothing!

I play tables. Hubby plays slots. HE gets all the offers although I spend 3-4 times what he does. Together we spend about $4000-$5000 in the casino. Never been offered a free cruise yet but we/he gets really good "deals".

 

You'll definitely get some points playing $1000 with slots. I've put $40 in slots and had almost 650 points in an hour and a half.
