ADVICE, TIPS? First Casino Comp'd cruise!


Recommended Posts

We got our first casino offer for a 'free' cruise!! Just now! So I called the casino folks and they had a pretty large selection of ships out of 3 Florida ports to choose from over the summer, I was kind of surprised at the big selection and that I even got the offer, they must have lowered the standards to get the offer haha

Anyhoo, although the 7 night on Symphony (OMG!) or Harmony (wow really?!) are both included, DH is going to want to do a quick weekend trip to not miss as much work. What do I need to know about booking a casino cruise? I know we need to pay taxes and fees which came out to $177 for both of us, is it really that simple? I did check on upgrade price to go to a JS and it was about half the price that we were going to pay for us to take the same cruise before the offer so I'm pretty excited.

Anything I need to know? Tips, things I haven't thought of? is it really that simple?

Awesome !  Sounds like you already have the information that you need.  Go for it !  If you want to accept the offer w/o any upgrade, you would just pay taxes, ports fees and gratuities (or if you don’t want to prepay grats, you can pay them onboard).  The only catch to booking a casino offer is that you must pay the balance in full at the time you book the offer. 50% off is a GREAT upgrade price.
