Full casino comp cruise + shareholder obc

[gamja]

If I'm fully comped on my cruise by the casino, will I still be able to use my shareholder obc?

[bronzey214]

We've supposedly received ours but won't know for sure until we board in April.

If it shows on your cruise personalizer then there should be no question...

Sounds good how did you go about it? Through the email, fax, or casino department? Thanks!

We often have fully comped casino cruises and always get our OBC from shareholders.

Thank you so much!

I have not had any problems getting SHOBC applied on any of my casino comped cruises.  I do pay to upgrade from the comped category, don't know if that makes a difference.

[gamja]

Yea I pretty much have a cruise every month until October lined up so will be taking full advantage! Thanks everyone!

[FlorenceItaly]

Interesting!  This is good to know.  HAL does not allow this.  It is interesting as they are under the same CCL umbrella.

How much money do you have to lose in the casino to get a free cruise ?

[FrankieJayIII]

i've read $1,500 in play and you start getting rewards and comps

[VibeGuy]

Interesting.  The written policy is that full comps are not eligible and I’m aware of people getting denied over it.  Congrats. 

[Sprocket]

Princess yes, Carnival and HAL apparently not.

Funny way to word a question.

Comps start at 4000 points on your play.

I'm just assuming that Princess only comp those who gamble,  and therefore lose, a certain amount of money. Otherwise,  why would Princess offer a free cruise ? So, how much money do you need to gamble to get a free cruuse

It’s based on points, which is more about time and churning money. Your play could come from winnings which  means it is less about lhow much you lose and more about how much you play.  You can play conservatively and just put your winnings back in and earn points.

Most offers are valid for 3 cruises which could be worth on the high end $18,000 for each offer. (Offer Includes 1 guest)

it’s more about Travel Hacking and less about gambling.

Thanks - far too complicated for me. I'll just play the fruit machine in my local pub.

How does table game play convert to points?

Pit Boss watches the amount of your play and the time spent at the table.

[gamja]

I dont know how many points I get but usually I gamble only 2-3 nights with avg bet of $100-$500 on bj/bacc/craps. Only $5 bets on slots usually. I end up with $750-$2000 freeplay and free balcony or minisuite. Princess plus included for me +1.
