Similar deal, have booked 4 of them, all balconies and free drinks anywhere on the ship, including the Mardi Gras balcony in October 2022. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted August 11, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I got an email for free balcony on an Elite offer from the casino, with all the benefits. Then I got the "Oops," email telling me it was sent in error. Do have a offer for Premier to Australia with $1000aus funplay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted August 11, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not a good sign that Carnival has to resort to pretty much giving cruises away even when sailing at reduced capacity. Realize they hope to get some of it back at the casino but if they had enough paying passengers this would not be happening. Have to give them credit for doing all they can to survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free or almost free cruises to the gamblers has been the backbone of promotional marketing for years with Carnival. Covid is not the reason that these promotions exist. There are multi levels of deals depending upon how each gambler is rated and some include just drinks on us in the casino while making a deposit or others include Cheers everywhere on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have emailed customer service, you entered into a contract for services (other's will say I am wrong, but it is worth a try).

akeka Posted August 13, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I don't get casino offers but was able to book a solo 7 day on the Vista yesterday for just $377 including port taxes. Sailing on 8/21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbaqua Posted August 13, 2021 #21 Share Posted August 13, 2021 We're taking a 4 day out of Galveston in Sept. $100 each with a $200 obc. Couldn't resist. Hopefully hurricanes and covid don't' ruin it. We got married in March 2020 and have had so many honeymoon plans cancelled, fingers crossed for this one.

Helps going out of Galveston versus the Florida ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
