We were excited to get the offer. Unfortunately due to work and family obligations, we can't do a full week. SO, I asked if we could do a weekend Bahamas cruise. NOPE. That's not the Caribbean. Bummer.

Hey all... Got ANOTHER email yesterday with the same offer (and code). BUT this time it listed all the ports and ships that it included.  And it DID include the Bahamas sailing options.  I called (and a person answerd the phone within a minute, HONESTLY surprised me).  I asked about it and they said it was a mistake and they ARE honoring it.  BOOKED!!!

I had to call multiple times because we kept getting cut off, but finally got a steal of deal.  Thanksgiving cruise for 4 on the Harmony in a OV balcony for ~$1100. 

 

I had a fair amount of club royale points... but only because I got lucky on my last cruise and hit a straight flush on 3 card on a big bet.   I gave it all back to them over the course of the week, but it made for some fun nights in the casino!

I've gotten both the summer and fall offers that can be booked by April 30th. They were for inside cabin and the summer includes $25 freeplay. I've only been on one RC cruise, 4 nights last Feb and only spent $200 and two hours in the casino. 

 

I'm still skeptical that cruising will be happening this summer. I'm going to check if my GF has received them as well. If so what are everyone's thoughts about one of us booking the summer cruise and the other booking the fall just in case the summer cruise gets cancelled?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

I never got an email but fortunately I read Cruise Critic so I checked my offers.  I never even knew there was a website for offers.  I had the free cruise for an inside between Sep and Dec.  I just booked on the Harmony for Nov 1, upgraded to an Ocean View Balcony, all for $407.14.  Great deal.  I appreciate everyone posting about this because I have never booked any casino offer before and all of your information was very helpful.

 

Also, I usually cruise Celebrity but I have gone on 4 cruises on Royal - 2 of them in 2019.  I gamble on both slots and table games but never lose more than a few hundred dollars over the course of a week, if that.  My husband didn't get the offer but he never plays slots.

If you have both gotten each offer, you can combine your offers and book both cruises in nicer cabins.  DH and I each got the fall offer for a free interior.  They combined them and gave us a free ocean view (which we then upgraded to a balcony for $18/person).  If you both got the offers, you can combine them and book them both.

 

Edit to add:  We each received the summer offer today, but I don't know that I want to tie up the money on airfare to Florida or Texas for cruises that probably won't happen.  We can drive to the port for our December cruise.

She had no offers, my next question is: If I book and pay in full now on a deal like this can you change weeks if you need to. I have a few events that are likely being rescheduled to the fall including the Masters and have no idea what week yet.

 

Thanks,

Thank you, unfortunately she had no offers. She is Emerald club, but never joined Casino Royale as she is not a big gambler. I'm thinking about booking the Nov 1st on the Harmony with the fall offer.

 

Thanks,

why did you give it all back to them, don't you know the golden rule of gambling ?
as soon as you win a big jackpot, you should quit immediately

I ended up booking the same cruise, for that same deal. $407 for an ocean view balcony. Let's hope things are back to normal by then and we can actually go!

Booked my Halloween cruise on Symphony. Had a balcony, CP, but got an Ocean View for $47 more. Had patience, they told me I can get OV for $274. Waited a few days more and got what I wanted!!!

Great to hear Jim! Just saw another casino code today, so now have August 30th and Nov 29th Harmony cruises booked. Port charges only plus free play. Hopefully they all come true, but who knows......

Hahaha. Well, some of the give back was to other parts of the ship. My wife got all the upsells she wanted in the spa;)

 

And I guess I got a free cruise out of it so I still came out a winner. At least until I lose in November. Ha.

I hit Prime status last year and enjoyed the free drinks etc. now that its after April 1 I think I have a free cruise but the other day I spoke with CR about not receiving there offers...(I do have a few $100 off offers under my account online) but I was under the impression they sent out specific sailing cruise discounts or comps a few time a year. Anyways the guy told me yes your Prime but becase your from Canada no offers can be mailed/emailed to me....He told me my free cruise should show up online in a few weeks.

 

Just wondering if any Canadians that are Prime are receiving emailed offers...

 

Thanks!

So you lost 25% to 33% of what u gambled

Some of it was never gambled. Example... On the Navigator June 24, I cashed in the $2 comp right when casino opened on a slot "Double Blessings"... I went right into bonus and came out with about $60. I played on that for a couple hours and hit the major on that for nearly $900. I played on that $900 the entire cruise and accumulated 1900 points, and walked off the ship with a bit in my pocket. Also, in 2019 I had 7 hand pays on various ships. Like I said.. it was a good year.

I just booked a five day on Indy for July 20 with this offer but $150 freeplay. Upgraded to a balcony for $78 for two.

 

I barely made Prime over three cruises last year.
