Check your accounts.  A new set of cheap/free cruises just dropped yesterday for any casino players. All of them go to Alaska 

 

Dates go through April 30 to Sept 4 2023.  

 

These are different than casino offers past.  These require a $200 NONREFUNDABLE payment per person, which is turned into refundable onboard.  We paid $1160 total for an obstructed view after FFD, inside would be $400 cheaper. And received $550 onboard *and should get our $100 onboard for stock* (YMMV), which we'll use to pay for plus while one the ship. 

 

So, if you can cruise from San Franciso, Vancouver or Anchorage during those dates, go for it.

The $200 non refundable deposit that turns into OBC when onboard is normal for comped cruises.  Is the $550 you cited free play or does the offer state it's OBC?  The amount of free play offered does vary quite a bit.  Pre-Covid we used to get a higher amount of free play and room discounts.  Post-Covid I get a smaller amount of free play but with a comped room.  As you say YMMV!

We have also gotten free offers recently for NCL Alaska from  a land based casino. Looks like an over-supply of cabins for Alaska. Unfortunately we are already booked and paid. Would be nice to see this during the Carribean season!

$550 is onboard, $300 casino cash.  Hoping we get the stock credit.  

 

I cancelled our Aug 7 Alaskan on carnival (and lost a $200 deposit) because, well, it's princess!

Yes, you should get stock credit too, it's been processed quickly these days.  Even though you lost a deposit, you wound up ahead.  I've made that calculation too.  I cancelled a Princess casino cruise and rebooked after getting a better CBS offer that included Princess Plus.  Made out much better!

I can never remember: once into your account, where do you find any offers?

Under Profile in your account

   -Circle Savings

      -Onboard credits (expand that     selection)
