justafem Posted April 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted April 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2023 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted April 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The $200 deposit per person for comped cruises has been in effect for a long time. We generally get free balcony offers and pay to upgrade to full suites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

I cancelled our Aug 7 Alaskan on carnival (and lost a $200 deposit) because, well, it's princess! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughMann Posted April 30, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Here's a screenshot of my inbox. I was able to book a GTY mini-suite on a 7-day sailing over memorial day weekend for only $180/pp. Not a bad upcharge over the comped interior, imo.
