Question about my "free" cruise

[CTSandy]

I've been alternating between Celebrity and RC; RC is more generous (and easier to understand what you qualify for) than Celebrity, but I really like Celebrity so much that I bite the bullet at least once a year and cruise with a discount (because of casino play) with them.  I was fortunate enough to get a comped cruise the first I sailed on RC and since then I've always earned enough points in the casino to get a letter just before the end of the cruise telling me what I qualify for.  I do get a "free" cruise on NCL once a year because of my status at a land casino, but I haven't used it in a couple of years because I prefer RC (no admin charges - just port fees and taxes).  I've stuck with the guy that connected me with that first RC cruise - as teeredi2cruiseabove noted, travel agent and junket operator and works hard to set me up with what I want.

how do you earn free cruise certificates through Harrahs Cherokee?   I am platinum and my friend is gold, we only go about 2 time a year, but would love to get a cruise certificate if we can. 

 

Any advice on how to get that?

 

 

I would sake sure that you check your online offers for the properties that you frequent. They may not always mail you something. The certificates are a good introduction way to sail on different cruise lines depending on the casino’s partnersship with cruiselines. I believe RCCL is MGM properties and Caesar’s is NCL. But there are other ads to get there without vouchers.

 

I hope this helps and Good Luck!

I’m curious about this. I’ve been cruising on NCL through CAS for about 15 years, but lately I’ve been wanting to try RCI, but I don’t want to pay full price. Spoiled, I guess. Am I reading this right? Your travel agent is able to book a cruise on RCI using a person’s play on NCL? If true, then I suppose other TAs can do the same.

 

Luvcruizing this was me too. Long time 7Star with Harrahs and NCL cruiser. I was told about the website UrComped on one of these boards and tried it out. I am taking my second RCI cruise on Sunday YAY! Comped Jr Suite. Costs to get onboard are a lot less ($245 total for a 7 day Western Carib in a Jr Suite) NCL kept upping the price to get on board even with what was suppose to be a full comp. Anyway PM me if you want more info

Thanks, Trish. I joined URComped, but haven’t booked a cruise with them yet. At first some of the cruises were only four or five days, and that’s not worth it to me since I have to fly to a cruise port, and then the dates didn’t work. I recently received an offer with better dates and 7-day cruises, but now I already have two other cruises booked, so maybe next year.
