NCL slot play coupon Casino At Sea Question

[mitsugirly]

I bought the slot play coupons to use on our upcoming cruise. I know after reading many post about the slot play that you have to take your coupons to the casino and sign up for the Casino At Sea Program (which is free) in order for them to load the money on the card to play.

 

My question is this (because I just now discovered it)...

 

Last year on our NCL cruise we took advantage of the coupon they had in their book (NCL's) for pay $10 and get $20 in slot plays. What I didn't realize until now is that when we did this last year, they put it on the card and I just found the card which reads "Casinos At Sea" on it.

 

Does this mean I'm already signed up for the program? Or did they just happen to put our $20 on that card because those are the cards that they use? I don't remember doing anything last year other than hand them the coupon and my sail card and they gave me the card.

 

Just wondering if I'll still have to "sign up" for the Casinos at Sea program or if I'm already considered a player. :confused:

I think you're already signed up. Even though you were just using the CAS card from your previous cruise to play off the NCL offer, they had to enter all your details to generate a CAS card for you.

 

Here's how you'll know: If you find an envelope from the casino already in your room when you board, with a CAS card in it, then you're good to go.

 

If you don't, then visit the Casino desk.

Great thanks. I do know that they said we would have a certificate/coupon in the room when we got there for the casino slots we purchased again this time prior to sailing. Hopefully that means even if we are not signed up from before, they might go ahead and do it this time if they are leaving it in the room. (Of course they did say certificate/coupon in room and not card).

 

So I assume we get a new card each time and do not bring our old ones from any previous cruise right?

Take the old card with you and present it to the casino. If it is not too old, they may still have your info in the system, and can add the slot play coupon money to that card.

At this point, I can only find 1 of them and just happen to come across it. (There was 1 for me and 1 for my husband). Is there any benefit to having the same card?

The only benefit is that it may save you a few minutes at the casino desk by having your info already in the system. Also, if you had points from a previous cruise they will show.

So if you had points from the previous cruise, they will need to go on the same card? If they issue a new card, it will not transfer?

There is an advantage to both of you playing the same card. I mean just ask for two cards under the same name. They will do this for you. Both of you can play at the same time with that one card and you will accumulate more points. ;):) If you spend enough in the casino, the next time you book a cruise through casino marketing, you may get it free or at least a discount. I have gotten the last four free ! Ok, I know I really paid for them in the long run. LOL :o Oh, but I had a good time paying for them ! :D

Wow, I never thought of that. They will do this? Wonderful idea! But, now that I'm thinking about it...we bought the slot plays coupon ($50 for $25) and also the NCL slot coupon ($20 for $10) and we each bought 1 (because it is one per person). So, I'm thinking they might not let us put it all on 1 persons account?? :confused:

The points should transfer, but it may take more time.

Ask the casino if they can link the accounts.

I have a question on the slot plays coupons. Their web site says they email the coupon to you....so I assume you print it when you get the email. Is that correct? How long does it take after you order it. I leave in a week and wasn't sure if I had enough time. Thanks

All of mine have been available to print the same day I ordered them.

They are instaneous.

Good thought. I'll try this.

As soon as you pay it pops up for you to print. No need to wait. Mine was instant. :D

No, I think you have to get a new card. I believe they are specific to each ship, but it would be interesting to find out. We've never taken our old cards as they always have a new one waiting for us.

No, unfortunately, NCL's points system doesn't work that way. If you have unused points from a previous cruise, the casino manager has to email the previous ship, and find out about them to add them to your account.

 

It seems odd to me that they don't carry the points on a central server somewhere, accessible to all ships, as most land casinos do.

If you are husband & wife traveling with the same last name, your accounts will automatically be linked, even though you will have individual cards. This way they can not only track your individual play (my DW plays a LOT more than I do!) but they can use the total of points both of you have accumulated for comps and credits at the end of the cruise.

 

And yes, if your play level is high enough, you will receive offers on future cruises from CAS. So it pays to make sure all your points are taken into consideration.

I know this maybe a stupid question but can the casino promotional play be used on Video Poker? Or can it only be used at table or slots?

Thanks!

:D

Does anyone know if the $20 for $10 casino play coupon has been discontinued? I can't find anywhere how to purchase these. I did purchase the slotplay coupons ($50 for $25). Sue
