Rare Eli_6 Posted May 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2022 On our upcoming Alaskan cruise (leave in less than 2 weeks) we have a pretty low rate which leads me to believe that it was a casino rate. However, I can't recall as it has been awhile since I booked and and I booked through a TA. I think my TA is already in Europe on the Pride so I don't want to bother her as I think she is going on B2B2B, etc. for almost the entire summer. Does it appear on your booking or is it noted somewhere else what rate you booked under? Is it somewhere on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaCruiser20 Posted May 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2022 You can go to the Ocean Players Club site and click contact us. Then follow the link for "verify casino offer". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrotser Posted May 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I think you can call the Carnival reservation line and ask. I know when I called to upgrade our room, they said "oh! You have a casino rate, I'll have to transfer you over to them." (I didn't know I had one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future cruises, what I do is save the offer email in the same folder as the cabin confirmation email. That way I always know which offer I used. It only took me 3 or 4 emails to OPC to think of doing that! 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I know that doesn't help OP now. This is one area Carnival really needs to improve, this info should be available under "Booking and Order Details" but it's not (I've spent a lot of time looking). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted May 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2022 They can be SUPER SLOW in returning emails depending on when your cruise is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepin_outOcold Posted May 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I have been waiting 2 weeks since I sent OPC my request for conformation of my offer. I have been told by Carnival customer care that I have a casino rate 01M or O1M. Can’t find info anywhere. We just signed in and looked up offers under my VIFP, never got a special email with offer ….so nothing to save. Have no way to prove it to casino manager.

hunnibee72 Posted May 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I wasn't sure which offer I booked after the fact and called Carnivals 1800 # and asked. They told me what I booked and even what was included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually seems better than any of my email offers, so I don't really know what offer I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlktx49 Posted May 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Contact the Ocean Players Club at https://oceanplayersclub.com/contact/comp/ Click on Verify Offer and ask what you want. In the past they've been pretty quick to respond. As others on here have said, save a copy of your offer. Also print it off to show casino cashier if there's any question about it.

LatinaInTexas Posted May 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 13, 2022 They haven't been quick with me, been over a week. But there is a disclaimer on the page about taking longer than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted May 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 13, 2022 My cruise isn't for 6 months, but I am now putting all my docs together and doing final planning, I emailed them to ask about my exact offer to have in writing. Here was their response: Hi David, We Thank You for sending in this request. We are trying our best to respond to each of your requests as soon as possible. We see you are asking to verify for a casino comp on sailing later on this year. We ask if you could send in this request closer to your sailing date at that time we will be able to validate your casino offer. We thank you for your patience and we look forward to welcoming you on board in the future. Thank you for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKUTopperFan Posted May 14, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Maybe it's my because of my rating with the casino, but I get responses from Oceans Players Club in 48 hours or less. When I'm in a more time sensitive situation or emergency, which occurred with an Elite sailing last month for example... I call my PVP. He then pings Carnival's Casino department and an executive host from reaches out to me immediately via text to handle any request or question I have. Are you sure you're inputting your info correctly to the submission form at the Players Club? It shouldn't take them that long to verify your offer code with tour booking.

Keepin_outOcold Posted June 2, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It took them three weeks to get back to me after my second request. This is the vague answer they gave me…making it sound like I “may” get free drinks depending on my play. “We are glad to hear you are sailing with us again and we apologize for the late response. Our records indicate you claimed a casino Exclusive offer aboard the Carnival Legend 08/20/2022. We have extended a significant discount towards your booking on this voyage. You have also qualified for the Drinks On Us valid for your personal use while playing in the casino. Additional casino comps cannot be combined at this time. On your cruise, our Casino staff will provide you with onboard comps based on your level of play. Should there be any changes made on the booking in the future, only the promotion that was last applied will be extended to you onboard.” We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Based on this email you booked a casino rate with drinks in the casino for you (not your travel companion). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with Archie -- it says in that e-mail that you've "qualified" for that already. Offer O1M qualifies for free drinks for the person who received the offer while they're actively playing in the casino. Additionally, the non-refundable deposit you put down for the cruise will be on-board credit on your trip.

UpstateCruizer Posted June 2, 2022 #22 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I have been having an issue lately with my cruise offers. I keep getting emails with the offer rate code OWV which I’ve booked under in the past without any issues. However in the past month when I get the email and log into my offers that offer isn’t showing up. When it happened the first time I figured the offer expired. However I got the offer email again yesterday and it’s not showing in my offers. I messaged my PVP and he said he could check specific sailings for me to see if it applies. I would refer to be able to see the offer and check random sailings I may be interested in. Would this be something I could call Carnival and ask to be transferred to the casino dept? Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
