Attention myvegas fans

[ddlb]

I just got an email from myVEGAS slots saying they had awards for up to $750 off an NCL cruise.  But when I went to the Travel section, I did not see any listed plus I got a message saying I already claimed this reward. Have any of you who have done the discounted or free  myvegas  cruises received this email?  I’ve only done MSC.

[JennKach]

I saw the email too and there were no offers showing for me either.  Of course it disappears after looking at it once so I was questioning my sanity.  Disappointing.

[cruiser123!]

I've seen MSC and Royal.  this is great news!  Thank you 🙂

 

[ddlb]

They showed up finally and there were some good cruises to Alaska.  Other cruises left out of New York. There also were 3 day ones.  bottom line out of maybe 15 cruises there’s only three left and by the time you go to the myvegas games they’ll be sold out. what a disappointment. But you will be be able to see what you missed. 

[JennKach]

Yes I finally saw them too but most are sold out.  Way more points required than other cruise offers I've seen.

With the $20 pp/day "casino booking fee," "$21.50 pp/day staff gratuity fees," "free at sea gratuity fees pp/day," "extensive onboard fees/charges for activities pp/day;" the free/comped or $750 off cruise (can be free for 9 night from Miami), will cost you thousands!  Plus, MyVegas won't refund credits, even for unused vouchers.  Both MSC & Royal Caribbean are MUCH better awards, things that are truly free/comped!!!

So there is a $20 fee per day per person?  Or is that just on the free cruises? From the terms I only saw the $20 fee wording on the free cruises.  I was looking at getting the $750 off voucher but if there is an admin fee it makes the deal not so good.

I don't know anything about this myvegas offer, but generally the $20 per day admin fee is for comped cruises.  And it only cost thousands if you choose for it to be that much.  I usually pay under $500 all in.

The MýVegas, MSC Cruises were a much better deal. For example I got 30% off a yacht club suite which included drinks, Wi-Fi, and the thermospa. I agree when you consider the NCL 7 day service fee of $280 for 2+ the usual gratuity if you want the drink package and dining plus their increased daily service charge then this is not the great deal I thought it was. Plus they assign you an inside cabin and who knows how much it cost to upgrade to a balcony.  Regardless most sold out fast. The best one was for $750 off a cruise for 750,000 points (I have almost 6,000,000)

 

 

sold out fast!

I just called and confirmed there is still a $20 per person per night admin fee with using the $750 off voucher or any of the vouchers.

NCL in 23' is a total scam, with cabin service once daily, 20% bar tips, higher charges on room service, etc., yet much higher stateroom gratuities.

[gkbiiii]

I guess the best deal then, with the $750 voucher, is a single occupancy reservation, with a 3/4 night, 50% single supplement offering.

I purchased the cruise for 2/1 out of NYC to Bermuda.  We called to book the cruise and they are saying we have to wait 72 hours.  Has anybody else had to wait 72 hours?

More NCL BS, on "non-refundable" redemptions.

Update!  Called back to today after being told to wait 72 hours and the cruise is sold out.  They offered us other dates, but nothing fits our schedule.  Now we need to try to get our 2.5 million points back.

Have taken a few of the My Vegas comp cruises on RC, Carnival, and MSC. I was already planning on my next cruise being on NCL and was ready to book so when I saw they were offering rewards again I decided to wait and see.

Got the $750 off reward and booked the  Getaway May 9 night out of Port Canaveral yesterday. Since I was already going to book saving $750 worked for me.

They offered other dates but they didn't work for us.  I live in the northeast and we were leaving out of NYC, so no airfare was needed.  This limited our options.  We have another cruise already booked in March.

I was charged admin fees but somehow even with that my total ended up being almost $500 less than my mock booking so I'm happy and completely paid and ready to sail on the Getaway 9 nights in May. Also was able to get the free at sea.

[timberframe!!!]

Hello, Can my wife and I since we both have our own myvegas points, can we both buy 750 off coupon since we would be sharing a room?
  Also if one of us buys the 4,000,000 free cruise, can the other one of us buy the $750 off coupon and use it toward onboard credit for the same cruise?   thanks

My confirmation said admin fee but it was just the cabin cost that was the same on the website minus $750. Technically you can all it an admin fee because it says it on the confirmation but it's not the $20pp per day people are charged on comped cruises I hear about.

 

I also got Free at Sea, 50% off flights for solo, and used my $300 CruiseFirst. The 20% off Diamond status discount from Caesars Rewards was not combinable. I don't anticipate an issue with the shareholder benefit since it's not a comped cruise.

 

Here's my breakdown (Cabin aka Voyage fare was $1063.50 inside guarantee for solo)

From what I read in the terms/description of the reward and what the casino rep said it's one reward per booking. The $750 off is also only on the voyage (cabin) fare so it doesn't do anything for additional fees, port taxes, gratuities or purchases after booking like OBC, shore excursions, WIFI, etc. It works for Free at Sea stuff that's included in the fare. I could be wrong and sometimes the terms are not accurate so it's worth asking. I'm not sure if it works for flights/transfers, vacation protection, or prepaying the daily service charges paid at the time of booking.

 

Keep in the mind the rewards are non-refundable so if you have points to burn it's not a problem. You can if you're nice and persistent, sometimes get a points refund on rewards that aren't refundable. It's a pain but I've done it a few times.

There's a daily refresh that happens and for the past few days I've seen the rewards go back in stock. You can get the schedule here: https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/index.php?threads/daily-myvegas-refresh-times.193384/ (Hopefully it's not against the rules to post this link.)

Good for you!  As soon as I got the email, I went to the apps and it took hours for the offers to show up. Most all were sold out.   By any chance would you be able or were you able to combine it with a cruise next certificate if you had one?
