LPut714 Posted June 2, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Just hit Spirit right-alot of folks bad mouth them but in all the years of cruising we have only had one flight cancelled-so can't complain. Just keep watching Spirit they just ran a 30% off sale. Subscribe to Spirit Flying in two days prior as our son lives in Manhattan so that may have helped with air-who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyme Posted November 22, 2018 #27 Share Posted November 22, 2018 We have an Elite cruise out of Galveston in Jan How do you find out which port the free excursion is in?

rascaldog Posted November 22, 2018 #28 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I have an Elite Cruise out of Galveston in February. I e mailed to ask about which port we would have the excursion and they don't have that worked out yet. Said they would get in touch with us when they know.

CantWait08 Posted November 23, 2018 #29 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Just off an Elite. You will get an email about 3 weeks before the cruise outlining the excursion being offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be running behind on mine - my Elite cruise is in 2 weeks and the only mail I've gotten is to request parking/transportation & beverages. Nothing on excursion. Maybe next week ... On the good side, I was told that we couldn't print boarding passes & luggage tags until the week prior (when we'll be traveling - were planning on finding a business center) - I checked the other day & was able to print those. Looking forward to my first Elite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam32310 Posted November 24, 2018 #31 Share Posted November 24, 2018 We sail on December 29th and just got the email about parking and beverage today. I thought that it was bottle and mixers for each person but the email only gave me a choice of one bottle and one mixer total. Really looking forward to this cruise. It's my first Elite but booked two more for February and April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkstewart9598 Posted December 31, 2018 #33 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Anyone who has been on an Elite recently can you provide more information on the perks and how it compares to a Premiere Cruise. Booked on an Elite in February. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elites are a different animal, there is nothing on how many pts. needed to get one of those! We are still waiting, after a year of getting 7500 pts plus on multiple premier cruises, for that elusive ultra cruise, the casino dept. says we're qualified for!:confused: So far the recent Premier offerings of casino cash and a cruise are really not very good!:( We received a couple bounce backs that were good and we've used both of them.;) Looking forward to some stories from those who've received elite's after your cruises! It may say that, but that is not what they do. I have NEVER even come close to 7500 points--most was 4700---I get lots of premier offers. I didn't in the last round, but my mom did, and her last cruise in august she got 2500 points. We booked her premier cruse for march on the horizon and she is also getting $1000 in casino money. Before the August cruise, our last carnival cruise was april 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7500 points earned on a Premier cruise are for an Ultra invite. Pretty much anyone can get a Premier invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was just saying that you do not need 7500 points to qualify for a premier cruise...because neither my mom nor I have ever gotten that many :):) Just glad that's not the rules :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
