Hmm..Okay, I'm gonna go with what you guys are saying and hope your are right. Can you all give me an example of the gifts and what raffles you have seen were for?

 

Gifts included 2 tumblers, 2 large beach towels, chocolate covered strawberries, fresh baked box of cookies from Cherry on Top, a bottle of champagne and they comped us the Steakhouse for 3 on the 2nd to last night

 

Raffles included cash drawings and the amount would go up if the person wasn't there when called, they also had a drawing where they give you a playing card and if it's called that night u win, another one was where they called 4 names and you have to try and bounce ping pong balls into little bags on the floor.....each bag had a diff $$ amount

 

And they also had Deal or No Deal.....3 names are called and I was one of them....They have 3 little briefcases and each person picks one.....I picked #2

The first person was offered a few small amounts and when the banker offered him $200 he took it....His case had $500 in it.......The 2nd person took $150 and her case had $350 I think

 

Then came my turn.....first offer was $50 2nd offer was $75......3rd offer was $240.....I turned them all down and when my case was opened it had $1 OUCHHHH LOL

 

The cases can contain anywhere from $1 up to $1,000

 

Next night my name was called again and they came up to the table I was playing at and you pick a card off of a board and the $$$ amount can be $50, $100, $150 or $200. Thankfully I picked the card with the $200 😜

 

Drawings are 10:30am each Seaday and approx 10-11pm each night

 

You have to be present to win.....they give you the schedule with all the drawing times in your cabin......even if your not gambling one night or time it's worth it to at least stop in for the drawings. Good Luck

FYI to others, some of these depend on your level of play. I'm probably on the lower end of gamblers on a Premier cruise, so I've never gotten the steakhouse comped. But I do routinely get the other items mentioned on a Premier cruise.

LaCal..I hope you see this!..I just wanted to thank you so much for posting these details! We booked one of the premiers today thanks to your description here. It was my husband's offer. He loves games and your detailed description sold him.

I will piggyback your comment with, unless they changed this since December my spouse got everything but the casino cash.

I agree also. I get the Premier offers and my guest always gets the drinks on us card and entry into the drawings. I know this because they have been picked several times for different giveaways. They just don't get the cash back that I get. If they have played on a prior cruise they would get their own cashback, if entitled to any.

Glad u booked and I think you'll Love it. Plus once you cruise on a premier one you're qualified to get the Ultra invite

 

That ones basically the same as a premier but each person gets a great gift.....some included iPhones, iPads, 60 inch smart tv, $5,000 gold watch,Cash, much more

 

We couldn't go on the Ultra invite last year when we got it but when it comes out this year I'm hoping on it 😜😜

No premier offers for me. I was getting premier offers last year when I didn't have someone to go with me... now i have someone going with me on a cruise i have booked for this year... and no premier offers. :( The cruise i have booked is a casino offer with funchips... nice offer... so i am seeing the same thing i saw last year... once booked on a casino offer, no more offers until after i sail...

On my last cruise, i did well in the casino... my daughter and i were both given the dou cards, after the 2nd day i think... and hosts came over and told us they had made reservations for the steakhouse, on them... and we were also comped a bottle of wine when there... they also sent cookies to our cabin a couple of nights... and yet, i was told i get my offers based on win/loss. Hmmm.. I was also told that some offers have different qualifications, and that they cannot disclose them. Just can't figure this out... I should have qualified for pack and play and premier offers... but they are not there...

I am booked on a nice offer from them though, which i do appreciate :D

I have asked this question a couple of times, but haven't gotten an answer... so here goes again...

For those who play blackjack only, no slots, do you get points? i was told that my comps are not based on points, they are based on win/loss... still have no idea how many points i got on my last cruise... but it should be quite a lot...:p

If premier offers are based on accruing 7500 points then there is some sort of point being offered for blackjack. On my september cruise I only played enough slots with the wife to get the DOU card(1500) and primarily played blackjack and other table games outside of that and I received a Premier Offer.

 

I did notice that after playing table games my points didnt go up, but there must be some sort of tracker for it.

 

Hope this helps.

Points from table play are tracked separately from slot play, so table points wouldn't have shown up in your point total on the slots.

One more question: how often are these offered? I have rec'd the offers for cruises from now until November, but we are interested in the Premier offers for Jan-March and I was planning to "wait it out." Just want to make sure that "another set of cruises" will be offered at another time, maybe after Labor Day for winter cruises? :confused:

I have 2 cruises booked this year with casino offer and obc. I also received the premiere cruise offer. Hopefully I will get to book a premiere cruise but happy to get the casino offers that are basically port charges and fees with obc. ( all cruise dates and out of Galveston since I live 30 minutes away )
