Just used it. Thanks! Does anyone know if we can purchase the 20.00 for 10.00 slot play coupon from NCL also? I know I can use only one of 50.00 for 20.00 coupons. Wasn't sure if I can also use the NCL one in the same sailing.

Has anyone added a third person to a cabin after receiving the free offer for two? I'm curious if they charge full price, or if they stick with the discounted 3rd person in a room. BTW, we received an offer from the Atlantic Club in AC - and we only played there one day and we didn't spend very much $$ - woo hoo!

Yes, i got the free off for two and then I added a third person. all I was charged was the third person fee of 399.00 plus port fees. We upgraded to a balcony and the third person was not charged the upgrade fee. Only the first two people had to pay the upgrade.

I was going to buy the cheese plate for the cabin, but one sister is a cheese hater and the other is a junk food lover so I would likely be the only one eating it. Sounds like my snacking needs will be satisfied via the buffet. :)

Do you know if the buffet has cheese? Thinking of bringing a plate back to the room to have with crackers.

Thanks!

Thanks! And, you definitely should! :D

 

 

 

It's not like a land-based casino where the drinks are always free. We had the drink cards because we were booked through the Total Rewards voucher from the AC casinos we visit, and part of the package is the free drinks card for both passengers. Otherwise, people get the drink cards when they earn 1500 points from playing. If you do have the drink card, you can leave the casino with a drink. There were a few times when we had not yet finished a drink and were ready to leave, or once when we went to kill time waiting to be buzzed for dinner, when we left with them. I don't think anyone pays very close attention to that.

Thanks. Yes, we have a couple drink cards coming to us via the AC cruise offer. :) We just didn't want to have to always stay in the casino with the drink. I enjoy gambling, but want to budget my money a little.

Regarding the free drinks in the casino...are people allowed to go in, get a drink, and then bring it back out? Do they monitor that?

Thanks!

Thanks! I may just go with the strawberries only. It's just to celebrate our first cruise together and we probably don't need that much.

Do people decorate their cabin doors? Just wondering, because I went on the Monsters of Rock cruise in March and many people decorated the outside of their cabins with band pics, streamers, etc. Some were pretty creative. I don't know if that's something specific to that kind of cruise, or if people do that on regular cruises also.

What a great, detailed review! The only question I have is about the bon voyage goodies. How were they in terms of quantity and taste? I ordered the strawberries for my two sisters and I. I was thinking about also ordering the shrimp and cheese, but don't want to end up with tiny portions.

I asked, but he won't do both at once. They're afraid of accidental cross contamination. Insurance covers both, but at a different rate. The gall bladder will be done by an in-network doctor and the bypass is being done by an out-of-network doctor.

:D

 

Well , I am starting to pack for the cruise. Another new adventure post RNY. I have taken the kind advice , and suggestions that have been offered. I think I am ready. I will be boarding on 8-16 and can not wait. I am down almost 30 pounds. Venturing into soft foods slowly. things are going well. I will post again after my cruise to let you all know how it went.

 

See you under the stars! ;)

I will be anxiously awaiting your post as I am in the pre-op process. I sail on 09/06 and when I get back I go in to have my gall bladder out. Then it's on to the bypass. When I was thinking about booking I toyed with the idea of having surgery first, but then I decided this is my first cruise with my sisters and I don't want to have any limitations right now. I'll have enough of that soon enough. Good luck!!!

Deck 13 hot tub is great. It is in the quiet area but when the ship is at sea it is very windy. Just returned from the dawn to bermuda and now appreciate why we take 14 night cruises in the fall. No kids and no really rowdy young people. Next cruise is the dawn nov 1st for 14 nights. Can't wait!

Thanks for the answer! Maybe I will check it out on a port day. We're sailing on the Dawn to Bermuda on 09/06.

Can anyone tell me about the hot tub on deck 13 (front of the ship)? I read in another thread that it's a quiet area. I've also read that the pool is usually a zoo and having to hang with a ton of rowdy kids doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather hang out in a quiet area with a hot tub or something.

I live less than 30 minutes from the casinos at Tunica, but I haven't been playing as much at the Harrahs properties; lately I've been going to Fitzgerald's or Hollywood. Did certain levels in the TR program get this offer? I haven't received one and think it is probably that I don't have enough play on my card.

In my opinion, rewards programs are are strange animal. I played once Harrah's Atlantic City in the last two years (spent about 600.00 total) and got a voucher for a free cruise, inside cabin. It wasn't a huge selection, but I got a 7 night cruise to Bermuda from a port close by. Family members who played more that I did didn't get anything.

I'm happy to say I got my voucher and although the list of cruises was limited, I still ended up with Boston to Bermuda for 7 days. I upgraded from the inside cabin. Even though it cost me 700.00 with the upgrade, fees and gratuities, it still saved me about 900.00!

Thanks so much! I haven't played in at least a year, so I was surprised I even got an offer. I was just worried that I would be eligible for only two nights from a port six states away. I think I'm in the mood for an AC trip. :) It's been a long time.

I received an offer for a comped night at a Total Rewards casino in Atlantic City. During my stay I get a voucher for a free cruise. Anyone know if there's a minimum number of nights for which the cruise is offered? I can't seem to get an answer on this from Caesar's AC. I live in CT and if the cruise is only for two nights from Florida, it's not really worth it to me since I would have to fly to Florida.
