Rare helene109 Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 My friends are picking one up Saturday from a land based Casino. It states a free Inside room! Both him and his wife received a free certificate for an inside room. Has anyone else received one? Just curious if they just pay the difference from an inside to a balcony. Thanks!

Yes, you can do paid upgrades. Sometimes they allow you to combine certificates for a cabin class upgrade. They can ask all these questions when they call the number on the certificate. They will be responsible for taxes and port charges of about $255 total and additional gratuities. Edited November 7, 2022 by kwokpot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local casino in our state is Carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted November 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2022 We have done this many times. We have never had a problem with Carnival taking our money for an upgrade to a balcony - lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted November 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Anyone else among us receive the PLAY MY WAY offers from Carnival recently? I received several different ones - all with Drinks Everywhere, up to free suites, and anywhere from $200-$1,000 FunPlay and up to $2,000 OBC. These are even better than my Elite offers. It would seem Carnival is trying to cast a wide net (perhaps taking into account onboard spend). I've already utilized 4 of the offers. I upgraded our Celebration sailing from $200 OBC to $2,000.. and got a lower rate and CHEERS and booked three other cruises (one of which is on hold... not sure I need to cruise this much... LOL).

Tom We both got the same ones as you. Trying to move a January cruise to one of these while also looking at a fall cruise. I don't get enough vacation time for all of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Yes received the same and also changed our Celebration to one of these offers and booked additional 2 cruises with the offers. At first I thought it was a hoax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucho Posted November 15, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just wondering how much casino action do you have to give, to get these offers? 25+ cruises only get drink offers no free rooms. Now, I barely play slots and only play the $5-$6 tables. Enjoy Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Life Most of mine was in the past, and at that point it was not uncommon to leave there up/down by $5-10+G... $50-$300/hand blackjack, often playing two hands at once. I don't usually stay too long at the higher bet levels, or else a bad run can go really bad, fast! I test the waters (push my bets up), usually to be slapped back into my place. 😉 Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
