Laminator Posted May 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Last night we are going over the accounting for our upcoming casino cruise on the Rotterdam June 5th. Both my wife and I get free Neptune Suite guaranty's so we are bringing friends. We had to pay port fees and deposits. For my wifes cabin we had to pay $200 deposit per pax. Her email states that she will receive OBC of $200 per pax once onboard. For my cabin we had to pay $100 deposit per pax and that will be reimbursed by the casino cashier once onboard. I think it would be much easier for all of us if there was consistency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't complain about anything but you do make a good point on the consistency. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does cause a little more bookkeeping as my buddy and his wife will stay in my wife's Neptune Suite and obviously my wife will stay in mine. That is unless she gets mad at me. We just need to make sure my friend will utilize the total $400 in OBC without my wife's charges getting in the way. I think I will have him charge $400 to the room for chips the first night at the Blackjack table. That will alleviate the need for bookkeeping.

rochelle_s Posted May 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It would also be nice if everything could be seen on the booking confirmation. It does get quite confusing when you have multiple bookings. My favourite is when it says digital copies are not accepted, but I am not sure what to do with an email offer other than make a digital copy. 🤪 ??

It has saved our bacon a few times in the past. On our last cruise they had to contact corporate to verify our casino cash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangforpres Posted May 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2022 hmm.. I just got 3 card monty'd by HAL. I was on my phone checking email and saw a new Playcus offer for an OV+$500 free play + drinks in the casino. So I went to my PC to check it out and it's not in my inbox, and it's disappeared from my phone. This happened at about 10:10 am Pacific time. Could HAL have recalled the email? -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangforpres Posted May 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I can find them, I just have to scroll through all the $200 OV fares on the HAL website when I log in. Still it would be easier with a list of the eligible cruises. Maybe it's coming. The last offer ends May 27 so maybe they are a little early with the email. -Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry H Posted May 24, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Well, I got the same offer. However, even though I am logged in at the HAL website, I can't find where I can see the OV fares.

I would call in. I wanted a room upgrade so I had to get a quote on that anyway. If you call, you can get all your questions answered. I have a PCC (Personal Cruise consultant) with HAL that I have been using for years and I just email her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that qualifies you to be a numbers guy. Thanks for starting another casino thread though. I thought we might have to go 24 hours without seeing one 😂. Here are the only numbers I care about. FREE Neptune Suite for me. FREE Neptune Suite my wife. on this particular cruise that adds up to over $18,000 saved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
