Remember the CBS offer is good for 3 cruises. The freeplay is only for the first but can get 3 free cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the 50+ year old crowd Princess' marketing demographic? Maybe, but I'm not so sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted February 10 #190 Share Posted February 10 I don't think that Princess actively markets for the 50+ crowd. Look at the new Sun Princess with all the family attractions on that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a big gambler but I have thoroughly enjoyed your style and candid report of this solo trip for you. I have often wondered just how much and what it takes to get the good Casino Offers. I also love the ones that you and your wife post when she is with you. Hope you both can take advantage of that great offer and have a fabulous time. Also just got off this cruise. At 18,000 points, got a mini suite and $1500. casino offer. Plus Package included 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She found they were often a little dismissed until it was noted that she really is a very well traveled passenger.

We used to get comments back in the 1990’s at trivia. “How can you know so much useless information when you are so young”. Also at most traveled luncheons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roxievegas Posted February 10 #199 Share Posted February 10 31 minutes ago, KarmaCruisers said: Perfect! Thank you for this data point! and you had earned the 18,000 points before Friday? With our last offer, which was free inside/$250 each free play we booked a 17 day Alaska cruise our cost to upgrade to deluxe oceanview on Lido deck was $1200 total balcony is $2,900, or mini $5,000 or suite $18,200 we decided to upgrade to the deluxe oceanview - it has a full wall window and the interior cabin is as large as a balcony cabin. our budget for gambling is what the cost of the cabin would have cost us if we had to pay for the cabin. So not getting the free interior would have cost $4,000, the oceanview room $7,000 so $7,000 - minus the $1200 for paying to upgrade leaves us $5,800 towards our gambling fund plus using the $500 free play that we get on the cruise. We use the $200 deposit each that turns into the OBC for paying for coffee and soda. We don't pay for the plus package - only use that if given to us. we have cruises where we hit the limit and others where we came home with money. Or we fall somewhere in the middle. We get the cruise, get the dining, and we get to gamble. We have a nice vacation and we don't break the bank. We like to see where the cut off is now for getting the free oceanview, free balcony. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would I..i can tell you it ain’t 8000 points on a 7-day..because I did that recently (March) and got ZERO “come back soon” offer. i also think, like someone else said; you’d CBS offer has a LOT to do with how many people earned a high number of points on that cruise like; if a ton of folks earned 20,000+, then the “pool” of comps goes to those folks. It’s not a qualifier amount of points, like you’d normally expect it to be..it’s a “pool” of comps, and everyone playing in the casino on that cruise is fighting over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
