If it's $100 per person, $200 for two and it's already paid, no one is going to be looking for you to pay more. It's already paid. And again, you don't need to board together. My sister and I travel from two different states and have never boarded together on casino offers or any offer. After reading through everything on here and other places, I have decided to "see what happens' I am going to show up at the port and see what happens when I try to board.. if they require more money at that point, I will make that call then. We shall see what happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked a Sept cruise, simple 4 day with one of the Casino offers that she was sent - she always get's the best deals. We just found out that her work is requiring her to be some where else and she can't go on the cruise, but I still want to go. Will it be an issue if I just show up at the port to go, even though the rate we paid was based on her? Yes, but how well do you like your couch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to get a gambler on the cruise they extended an offer to only have to pay $25 pp. when the gambler doesn’t show up to take the cruise they are stuck having sold a cabin for $50 to some they normally would have charged $200 to. That’s why it could increase the fare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruzing Posted August 27, 2021 #57 Share Posted August 27, 2021 If anyone should ask where your wife is, tell them the truth - that your wife was given a mandatory work assignment at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my sail and sign card all the time in the casino but my guess is that since she "booked" the cruise, she gets the credit for the casino play. If i had to guess, I spend 3-4 times the money and time in the casino than she does but she is the only one of us that actually get's offers.

Since you are admittedly a gambler they may be thrilled to have you onboard with or without your wife. I personally don’t gamble at all. So if your wife and me booked the cruise and then she didn’t show, they probably wouldn’t be happy to get me a cabin for $50. I don’t think anyone on here really knows what will happen. But as long as you are driving to the port and are willing to turn around and drive home if it turns into something outrageous, no harm done.

luvcruzing Posted August 27, 2021 #61 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Do you play table games, and your wife plays slots? If so, that would make a difference. Does the email/postcard that your wife receives with the casino comp offer have a host listed? If so, you could email/call and ask why you don’t get any offers. Please come back after your cruise and let us know how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, give it a try - bet you have offers and don't even know it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay for 2 and only 1 goes, they still get their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobberDog Posted October 13, 2021 #74 Share Posted October 13, 2021 So wife here, all went well, the cruise terminal called me and asked if I was going to be there by 2:30. I told them no. That was it. No additional charges and I picked him up from the cruise terminal and brought him back home safe and sound. Still married, no hard feelings or anything. I’m leaving on Halloween for a 6 day solo on the dream so I can see what solo cruising is all about. This one too is a casino offer. $100 with $100 OBC plus drinks on us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
