Which offer to book?

Hey guys after many cancelled sailings I'm looking to book a 4 day trip from Long Beach on the Radiance. My question is I have a few VIFP offers available to book as well as FCC and OBC that expires 12/31/21, the two best options available are a Casino promo which is a Getaway cruise that includes, Drinks on us while in the casino for me and a companion, a chance at more than $10,000 in free play, cash and prizes, exclusive rates and reduced deposit. The next offer is the Plan now sail later promo that has the same room rates as the Casino getaway, but come with $500 OBC and that's it which I could use to pay for cheers instead of the DOU cards we would get with the Casino promo. Both offers I would get to tack on my extra $300 OBC from cancelled sailings. Are the Getaway sailings that much different other than the likelihood of the casino being more crowded than usual? I'm torn on which offer to book, which one would you book?

I think you nailed it.  If it's a premiere or an ultra cruise, the casino may be quite busy.  I did both a few years back, and the casino was packed!  That being said, I haven't cruised since covid, so it could be different.  The casinos may still be packed because of the great current offers from the casino, or they they may not be as packed with the new rules about no smoking, unless you are actively playing. Lower occupancy restrictions may also affect that. .  Maybe someone could chime in that has cruised recently. Book which deal fits best for you.  Either way, it's a good deal, right? Just book it, and have fun!

We were on the Horizon in July and the casino was slammed.  It was a Premier cruise.

 

 Of the two offers, I would do the one that comes with the $500 OBC.  That buys a lot of drinks, and it is conceivable you will get the Drinks on Us card for yourself after a few days of gaming.

Thanks for the replies, I did some more research and it seems I was putting the getaway cruise in the same category as a premier or ultra. I don't think that's correct right? I was offered a premier cruise once but wasn't able to make it.
