Princess's free casino cruise

[justafem]

I'd only cruised with princess, but received a free room from carnival, so I took it.  

 

I've done 2 cruises with carnival since they offered me the cheap/free rooms.  Don't get me wrong, I like princess better, but the idea of NOT going on a cruise is worse than going on another line.

 

Now that carnival is leaving from SF and we're local(ish), I'll cruise with whomever gives me the best fares at the time when I can cruise.

 

Princess just offered me a free inside with princess plus.  Unfortunately, the dates are undoable. 

 

That said, I have a casino budget.  I can blow it in a single night, or spread it out, but I stick with my budget.  I frequently get specialty dining, in room munchies or booze.  And my budget isn't outrageous.
