You're going to wait until the casino opens to drink?

The first of 3... Fri Sat Sun

I see the free drink limit is now up to $16 plus 18% gratuity. One (1) complimentary specialty coffee, soda or alcoholic beverage with a value no greater than $16.00 + 18% gratuity. Redeemable at any venue. Will be automatically applied to the first transaction once onboard. Alcoholic beverages may only be consumed by adults of applicable legal drinking age.

Very smart for ports like Galveston where alcohol choices are limited until you leave Texas waters (and Mobile and maybe others). So those who order a bottled water are going to be surprised tat is their free drink. If you have a free drink coming, the POS will grab it first, although there is probably a way to override.

So you are in favor of granting loyalty points to passengers sailing on free cruises? How much loyalty does that take? ALL loyalty programs are marking programs and none are sustainable without change.

Of course they would also include the price we pay for cabins. And drinks and specialty dining and ... It is trivial to rack up spend in the casino. Harder to fake paying for a cabin.

Enjoy. While it lasts...

Maybe planes will be flying again by then. 🙂

Right after they merge the cruise lines.

If it qualifies for price matching.

Loyalty programs are marketing programs, period. So are casino rates. Nothing is earned or owed. I don't recall ever hearing a gambler claiming they cruise on Carnival because of the loyalty program. There is no benefit to the company to include casino rate cruises in the loyalty program - the casino can start their own program if they wish and could even cross brands. Carnival has stated in the past that they aren't looking for cruisers who cruise for perks, but cruisers who like the brand. Translation - they don't want to get in a bidding war for fickle customers. Since Carnival has already ruined their loyalty program by including essentially free cruises, and based on Carnival's target market has always been novice cruisers, it makes sense for Carnival to beef up the lower loyalty levels and let the higher levels saturate (leave them alone). They will attract and retain more of the target market. It makes no sense to do anything to the upper levels, including adding more, because Carnival's target market will never be able to reach those.

There are no guarantees.

A gross oversimplification

To bring it back into focus, in the updated loyalty program, anyone cruising on rates not available to everyone, should not accumulate points.

I was not aware you were the fly on the wall when Carnival made decisions. long term

The post must have been deleted.

On average, casino rates have below average deposits and costs for no shows. Fixed costs get covered by selling cabins. On average, two people don't spend identical sums of money. We are back to how to lie with statistics.

If you say so.

Someone said $17 was all they would pay in gratuities. There isn't a service charge on that. There are service charges on bars and other optional services if you don't have some sort of package that covers.
