Needing some help...in late May I was offered several options of Premier and Ultra Cruises. My wife is a teacher and we are very limited on when we can go. I did not act on any of the offers but did book a New Year’s cruise last week that was not part of an Primier or Ultra offer. Well long story short, we are pregnant and my wife will be too far along to go in New Year’s so we have switched to Nov. 17 on the Dream which is a Premier/Ultra Cruise. I’m kinda bummed because have had all kinds of free goodies, money, drinks. Do I have any change of getting those perks? Anyone have a contact with the casino that they could share?

I have had a similar situation before where a cruise I booked changes to a premier cruise even though I did not book under the Premier promo. I call my PVP and she gets me changed to the casino package. Be aware, that depending on the promo that you originally booked, you could pay more for the fare or owe more in deposit and you may lose any OBC that was part of any promo you booked under. Also, this will only work if the premier slots are not all booked already, but I would certainly call and see if it can be done.

 

We cannot give out names of PVP's, but if you would like, I could email you my girls info. She is awesome at Casino bookings. Let me know!

I'm looking for a new PVP - not at all impressed with the one I've been using. When she called me back the last time, she just said "hello" when I answered like I knew who she was!! She didn't even identify herself!!!

 

 

Please email me the info - tiptoe7@aol.com

 

Thanks!!

This happened to me once. I was booked on a cruise that way after I booked became a premier. I called the casino and asked if I could be part of the premier since I got the offer via email. I did not mention anything about the reduced cabin price. The agent I spoke to asked me to hold on while he checked. After about 3 minutes he came back on the line and said "done, and you will receive the difference in price as an OBC", since it was after final payment.

If the Premier block is already sold out then the casino will not let you join the group and get the perks.

We booked a cruise last year after the Premier block had closed. We paid full price for the cabin (last one available) as it was 2 weeks before sailing. Our PVP spoke with Casino Services on our behalf and asked if we could join in the gifts, drawings and drink card (didn't ask for the reduced room rate). Casino said NO, that once the Premier room block closes they do not allow any more guests to join.

Turned out that when we entered our cabin the first day there was the black Premier gift bag with all of the info for the week (with the original guests names on it). So it appeared that we got a cabin that a Premier guest had cancelled (pretty ironic). That was it for the rest of the week, no more goodies. Oh well, we still had a great time and enjoyed the trip completely!
