Being Diamond, we always have early access to online check-in. Tom early access to book this Elite offer, before others on Jul 13, as the sailings are capacity controlled.

I tend to stay away from casino cruises as the casino is too busy for me. Getting a machine is a hassle most of the time. I usually take "lesser" offers (still free balcony, obc and casino cash) so I can actually get to play the machines I like. ultra and premier sailings are always crowded in the casino. elite sailings are often not, because they're capacity controlled.

Yes, I understand the concept. I'm just wondering what criteria they might use to determine if somebody qualifies for early access. I'm just saying, if it's based on money that's been laid on the table, I feel I should be pretty high on the list! 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted July 11, 2023 #35 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Interesting that the "world's busiest cruise port" only has two sailings showing on that list (Mardi Gras) - at least on that portion of the list. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the Elite offer! Remember to look at the fine print - you should be able to book 3 of them (although some folks on the site that shall not be mentioned say they are limited to 2 this go around). Booked my Turkey/Greece 2024 Elite yesterday. Can't wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGACamper Posted July 12, 2023 Author #39 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Our offer is limited to two. After intensely studying the choices, we've settled on Southern Caribbean in May and Alaska in July (if they are still open when we get access tonight)! We looked long and hard at the Glory TA but it just doesn't work for our schedules. I don't think I could be any more excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted July 13, 2023 #41 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I actually saw two different Elite code offers - I clicked on the first one, and it showed all the way up to suites (though all lower categories were $100 each) at about $1,300. I clicked on the second one, and for the same sailing (Mardi Gras) it only showed insides and indicated all other categories as "sold out". Well, they're not "sold out", except when using that second code !! So -- no interest here. The only one I could get a suite on was their (sad/pathetic) eastern itinerary. I prefer their western route - as Mahogany Bay and Cozumel at least offer something (cabanas and Pancho's Backyard respectively). Yawn.... I'll just continue to use the other (better) offers I have for many different sailings. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran into a similar issue and although we had screenshots that showed the funplay offered with both codes, they would not honor. Considering escalating it up the chain, but it’s not make or break. Would be nice though. We booked one cruise with and one without. We are waiting for our pvp to call back bc we are questioning that each code says it can be used for two cruises. If they will honor that we will book another 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64funwhisper Posted July 13, 2023 #45 Share Posted July 13, 2023 well after talking to 4 different people gave up for the day but I did email the casino dept and we will see what they say in a couple of days -I think they should honor it but probably wont. .

luvs2beachit Posted July 13, 2023 #46 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I was also unable to book my selected cruise. I saw it posted earlier in the morning but when I looked at around 930am it wasn't listed. I spoke with PVP and she could not find it listed either but while we were checking we saw that other cruises weren't listed either. She contacted the Elite department and they acknowledge that they were having problems and were working on fixing the issue. Around 330pm this afternoon I finally received a confirmation for the cruise. Maybe give it another try as the site seems to be up and working. Good luck!
