Is the casino still offering a free cruise if you get 800 points on one cruise?

[notmyrealnameoremail]

They were doing it our last couple of cruises with a decent list of available cruises to choose from.

 

If they are, when is the last date to sail the free cruise?

 

Thanks.

Pretty sure this stopped April 1

[Tee & Chilli]

It was never free.

[ZoeyVictoria]

I was on the Harmony April 10-17, earned 840 points, and received a free cruise.  There were many to choose from, I selected the 6-night Explorer in August.

 

 

Most were through June, but a few through the end of September.

No. As @John&LaLa said, it ended at the end of April. See the current promo below (it has changed in multiple ways):

Is that the 28th?  We're on that and I noticed it was on the casino list.

No, we are on the 14th.  Probably the same itinerary.

Enjoy.  I'm looking forward to Labadee.

Labadee and Coco Cay on the same cruise!  Not sure what to do in Falmouth.  We are some of the few people who prefer shorter cruises (5 is perfect for us), so the 6 nights attracted us.

For us it's the first leg of a B2B.  We're more excited about the other leg since it's going to the ABC islands.

We are on that same b2b. We had the second already and added a 6 day from the casino recently. It will be great to be at Labadee twice!

Thanks everyone.  It looks like it is 1600 points for a free cruise now.

Only if you book it while on board with Next Cruise.  It takes 2,500 points if you want to make the reseravation after you disembark.

You can take the book later option at NextCruise and book within 7 days with the newest promotion. That is with 1600. The only time I know the 2500 applies is for the prime yearly cruise. But that’s not related to this per cruise perk.

I received a free cruise through the 800 point promotion back in March just before the promo ended. We used it to book an Alaska cruise later this year. I continue to get new free cruise offers but I'm not sure if these are in addition to the other one or if their systems doesn't recognize that I already booked a free cruise. Too busy to book multiple cruises this year but it is intriguing.

Sometimes if you fit their “analysis “ they will send you free cruises even if you’re not prime. I had that happen when we first started sailing with Royal some years back. I was also surprised! From what I can tell from talking to the casino reps, they’re more likely to do this if you don’t have a lot of cruises already booked!

for me the 2nd cruise does not show Labadee.  It's just the ABC islands.  I'd love to do Labadee twice.  Especially if they still have the suite lunch.

Not as good as the past, and lots of Pinnacles to share with

Lunch really wasn't as nice as the past. 

No lambchops or grilled shrimp.

 

Beach was a little nicer, not as steep into the water

[Cigar King]

I was never a fan of the beach.  I always thought Columbus Cove was the nicest beach at Labadee.

Based on your play in the past, you can receive many offers. There is no limit to the number of comped cruises you can book.
