Latest Casino Deal

[kangforpres]

Just got this today as I'm sure many other did, it's a bit different:

 

$700 casino cash and up to 50% fares for any Greek Island cruise departing 08-15 through 09-05 of 2021.

 

The one that goes from Piraeus to Venice is very tempting but I don't think the wife can go, she got same offer but only $500 casino cash.

 

Happy Cruising,

If you do want to go and use a PCC you can try and negotiate the 2 50% off offers into one free cabin. You may or may not lose the $500 in casino cash but could save more money than $500 on the cabin.

Got the same 50% offer today.  But only $200 in freeplay (must be low rollers).

They jump all over with their offers. Mine are always pretty consistent. My wife's move around quite a bit.

Here is the latest HAL casino offer. My DW and I both received an offer for a free neptune suite along with a significant amount of casino free play. Obviously even with limited capacity these cruises are not selling out.

I received a free inside cabin offer with $50 casino cash and free drinks in the casino. Had some Greece itineraries, Ca coast and Mexican coastal cruises. Starting in August and ending in November. Guess I don't gamble enough for the suite. LOL

[kapear]

I got this same offer/ itineraries for an inside $300 casino cash. Sadly, no of these dates work. We were able to book a different offer for a greatly reduced Neptune Suite for 12 days July 2022 in the Mediterranean. Hopefully , all is well by then and we can make up for a June 2020 Princess Cruise that never happened.

I was just surprised that with limited capacity there would be any neptune suites available on these upcoming cruises.

Thank you for posting this as we were not sent an e-mail of this deal. Our offer was for a free inside cabin for 7 or 14 day cruise Greece.

Same offer here.  Not as good as the one we used for Dec (Caribbean 7 days in an ocean view for free) though.  Likely will pass on this one.

Think I'm passing on this offer also. Have an 11 day partial Panama cruise leaving the day before Thanksgiving. Offer was for an inside and really wanted to upgrade to balcony, but the cost was pretty high and with things questionable about sailing at all was just not willing to give HAL more dollars.

I looked at upgrading to a higher level cabin, but the rate I was quoted was nothing special IMO.  Not a bad deal mind you, but not a great one either.  Guess we are just a bit spoiled!

I got a new offer yesterday too, some Greek islands, California Coast and Mexican Rivera all in 2021. Can't do any since I have 6 cruises scheduled from now until July 6, 2022

Well just when I thought I was done booking casino offers for a while, today I got an offer I couldn't refuse. 21 Day Canal Transit from SEA to FLL this October, Free Oceanview Stateroom!  A 21 day cruise with a stop in Panama and Aruba (2 places I haven't been yet). So I called and took the deal.

 

I've been West bound through the canal, this will be East bound. Come on everyone let's keep this Delta variant under control. The agent did ask me at booking if I was fully vaccinated and to bring my card to prove it.

 

Happy Sailing,

 

Paul

Paul.  Good for you !  I got that same offer, and was surprised.  Usually Casino offers are short sailings.  21 days and a full transit to boot, that is a great trip!  Enjoy and good luck.

Thanks JB, I got upgraded to an HH on the 4th deck and they charged me a single supplement. Still 21 day cruise for $1473 in a room with a full size window next to a life boat. Plus 4 stars means free laundry, 50% of specialty dining and entry's into the Slot and Black Jack tourney's. I checked the fares on the website and I'm saving $2k.

I just got that offer today, but for an inside. We already have a cruise boked for Nov 7 & Panama canal booked for next year- both on Carnival, not HAL.  The timing is bad, but very difficult to turn down. Even by the time we pay port fees & gratuities- it will cost about 2 grand. Maybe we will see ya on board

 

[NCTribeFan]

I got the 21-night offer for a free inside (which is all I ever get).

 

So sad that I can't take advantage of it!  I'm a CPA (who "should" be retired by now!!), so with the 10/15 filing deadline, I can't go. 😪

 

Guess I'll just have to be happy with my 10-night freebie on Eurodam over my birthday in November. 😉

[midohio]

Just booked the 21 day Panama Canal transit! Too good to pass up, called immediately to reserve my spot. See you all on board...

[kangforpres]

Yep, getting to retire early has opened all the doors to cruising the world on Casino offers from various lines, HAL, Princess and RCI. Going to make 5 stars way before the wife does

[Sunseeker810]

I got this offer too!  But, I am going to pass.  21 days is too long for me. I would have to be removed from the ship by crane and taken directly to detox after all that eating and drinking.  Plus, lots of overtime for my gambling!

Yea gonna have to pace myself for sure, longest so far has 15 days. Plus this has lots of Sea Days, I think 4 consecutive at one point. I guess the Slot and Black Jack tourney will be on those days,

I know that casino cruises are non-refundable.  Can you cancel and receive a ship credit to use at a later date?

I don't think so, If they cancel you then get refunded.
