As a Platinum Carnival Cruiser as well as a ~10k+ point player, I think I may seriously have to consider switching lines or not playing on the cruises and saving my play for land based casinos. I e-mailed CAS (Norwegian's casino dept) to see about maybe getting a 5-10% discount on my next cruise even though I'm a newbie who is still in the first tier of their system - I was pleasantly shocked when they called me back that day and offered me a comped ocean view (which I'm upgrading to a suite for about $600pp). Just finished my first cruise with them a few weeks ago and am 100% converted. I also got tired of the decreasing perks from Carnival Player's Club (my gambling budget has increased over the years, but my offers went from 'free suite for 7 nights' to '$100 casino cash' to nothing after my last ~10,000 point cruise), so I made the switch to Norwegian. She won the tournment and $500.00s:D I got the plastic ship on a stick:eek: By any chance did you talk to Marti? Seems like we would get more $$$ from both Michels :cool: Pink

I took the money and purchased the BOGO blackjack entry ticket and gave them both to my wife. I don't play as much as her so I usually end up getting $25.00 or 4 strawberries. She also gets the On Us drink card and money from the cage. My wife loves to play blackjack or craps. Tarheel04, Yes the Ocean Players Club has gotten 'tight' with their comps. Should I be insulted ? Should I call back to make sure this is correct ? Give me your thoughts ? Did I get unlucky and speak to someone who really did not care ? Or am I just wasting my time and should I just be happy with the $25 given to me and move on. Today for my cruise in July the staff on the phone today said that $25 would be avaiable for me.

On my past few cruises I've gotten $200, $150, $75 etc. I easily reach the free drink card on my 2nd day ( on ships that it its available on ) playing the slots. We are platinum cruisers, and I spend quite a bit of time in the casino on the slots. What a joke, I called today to see what kind of comps are available for me on my next cruise in July.
