  1. 100% agree. That poor excuse for a “buffet” (served in Guys Pig & Anchor) is HORRIBLE! Miami slice and the deli definitely kick its butt! (Pizza late for when the deli has just closed)
  2. What exactly? I can with certainty, tell you, (like others here have) that casino points ALONE doesn’t contribute to what offers you get from corporate. The cruise line wants people who have ACCESS to money, on their ship. It’s just a numbers game..the more folks with ACCESS to money on the ship, the more likelihood SOME of them will SPEND it.
  3. I’ve met QUITE A FEW who told me they got free cruises and when I watched them play over the course of a 10-day Alaska cruise they only bet minimum on Heads-Up Hold’Em; so I personally asked them if they were using an Amex Black or Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card on file for the cruise and they said “how did you know?” even carnival has folks who, in their personal life have access to big money..they just choose to cruise the “value” line.
  4. Here’s the trick to getting free cruises 1. The credit card you use for your on-board folio..use a Amex Black or other TOP credit card with either no limit or a HIGH limit. 2. Earn 4000+ points on your casino account, playing machines (slots or video poker; the earn rate is $2.50/$5, respectively) 3. Don’t play on the day before debark (no point, the point totals have alresdy been sent to corporate at midnight) 4. DONT CHASE COMPS! For 4000 points they’ll probably “comp” an interior room “fare only”; which if you even put $1 in a slot machine you’ll get discounted rates to only a few hundreds.
  5. Apologies I’ve only ever sailed on Royal class; which the casual dining are full blown restaurants..to me it looks like Planks and Steamers are just like extensions of the buffet..but like I said; I have no reference
  6. It’s all the Royal class ships..same “putting green”
  7. I hope so! because yeah..otherwise on Caribbean princess..there’s really no “casual” dining
  8. So we’ll be on the Caribbean Princess in September and we got complimentary “plus”..but I just noticed..there’s no OceanTerrace/Gigi’s/Alfredo’s/etc… So…are our only choices Steamers/Planks?
  9. Which one is the “reserve” dining room? Or is it like a special “section” of one of the normal dining rooms?
  10. So I’ll be in a penthouse suite (S4) in September. first time in a suite as well as first time on the Carribean princess (all other princess cruises were on Royal class) what are some of the “unspoken” suite perks. I know about laundry, mini-bar, suite lounge, and Sabatini’s breakfasts… thanks!
  11. My voucher states “valid for cruises between 2/20/24 - 9/7/24”…this cruise starts on 9/24/24. So TECHNICALLY it’s expired..the only thing I can think is they extended it out a few weeks because it TOOK them a few weeks to get it on my account..in any case, I’ll email the guy Monday (since I got his email when I verified it) and inquire about the freeplay.
  12. Yeah then they probably didn’t attach it..I wonder though if THAT’S the part that “expired” vs. the room/plus..
  13. Yup! And for folks following the saga; I think my wife is going to go..at least when I told her about it, her reply was “that sounds amazing!”
