MamaMills Posted November 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I booked on a casino rate through my Princess vacation planner. The rate was heavily discounted but not free. This is my first time sailing with a casino reference promo. I have 100 shares of CCL. While getting the paperwork together to submit for the OBC I noticed some wording about not being valid for discounted fares including TA fares, etc. Sounds like I can’t get my OBC for this cruise. Anybody have experience with this and can confirm whether or not I can get the shareholder credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleagedM Posted November 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I also booked on a discounted casino rate and also have 100 hares of CCL. I submitted my request for the OBC and was notified shortly thereafter that it was processed and applied to the cruise. Send in the request and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMills Posted November 1, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks! I guess it can’t hurt to try. The worst they can say is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyochem Posted November 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’ve gotten the shareholder OBC on comped casino cruises as well as casino discounted fares. Never been denied (7 cruises total). (Just as a FYI, HAL will not give the OBC on a comped cruise, only on a discounted cruise.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34TigerLily Posted November 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What is a casino rate and how do you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple7tahoe Posted November 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I am guessing there are two types of Casino cruises- One is booking with casino discount, around 30% and the other is "Casino cruise" offering some level of stateroom (inside to balcony are the ones I have gotten). The Casino cruise is not a free cruise as the difference is paid by Princess Players Club. The other is just a discount given to you by Princess-I have used both and gotten full CCL benefits and military on each. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMills Posted November 4, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I played in the casino while onboard and made sure to scan my medallion before I played…the offers started coming in to my emails a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafem Posted November 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 4, 2022 All 3 of my 2023 princess cruises are casino rates or some kind of dramatic discount. I always get my carnival stock credit on princess. That said, all 3 of my 2023 carnival cruises are casino rates and I am always denied stock credit. Weird how they're owned by the same company.

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted February 15, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2023 what is the phone number to call for casino rates? My friend's mom spends thousands in Princess casinos, but never once got an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casino dept is a S$&t Show currently, I wouldn't put anyone through that hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything in my own account, but then - I don't go to the casino. But not even a section where I would be looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a comped cruise exists that shoes as $0 when you search cruises through the main .com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personalizer will only show something if you have a booked cruise. If there is no booked cruise, it shows nothing. How does one see what's available to book with casino rates? Is there a phone number or a site? Where does one see the offers for cruises not yet booked? Do I need to look through ALL the cruises to see if one comes up at zero?

Mike45LC Posted February 15, 2023 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'll jump on the bandwagon -- I have always gotten my shareholder OBC even if the cruise is on a casino rate or even a casino comped free cruise. Most recently in Jan 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your personalizer under OBC lists all your available offers and the offer codes along with what the offer is for. (Comp, OBC) You normally will get an email or a card in the mail that includes a QR code or locations the cruises available to. The phone number to call is 888-772-6697 but wait times are in excess of 4 hours and it’s a call center in the Philippines The easiest way right now is that all cruises available at the comp rate will show as $0 Edited February 15, 2023 by Jadn13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
