Cruise questions

[bluesfan]

Did you do a cruise and play with ncl before starting to get offers?

I signed up for a card on a cruise a few years ago- Casinos at Sea. By the second day, they came over to say hi to me, and offer me stuff. I was surprised as I was not playing that much. I got a specialty dinner and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to the room. Before the end of the cruise I was given a letter with my assigned host for future cruises. About 1 month later I started getting mailers for free cruises, slot tournaments, etc.
We booked our next cruise 2 years later, and got free drinks from day 1 in the casino. We got a free room, but did upgrade to a balcony room and paid a small up charge. Based on what I see you play on your trip reports, I would think the same would happen for you. This is for NCL only as that is all we cruise.

I get the free cruises from ncl but we have never taken one, maybe someday. I get very motion sick also but i never did when we had a boat and I don’t in planes,only cars. I have an hour commute each way in a very bouncy van so it’s challenging.

I use Reliefband. It is an acupressure type band that delivers a small shock and interrupts the nerve that makes you nauseated. I have the 2.0 now but I had the older model too. It doesn’t hurt and it works perfectly. I’ve struggled all my life and I hate taking the meds that make you sleepy or don’t work.

Check it out. Reliefband.com.

Just had an incredibly frustrating few hours on the phone/hold with Celebrity.

Wanted to book an add-on package of 2 nights in Alaska at the end of the cruise. They must have only a few customer service reps because I was on hold for 40-70 minutes on three occasions. It finally got resolved but I legit spent more than 4 hours just trying to add it.

Moral of the story - don’t try and change your Celebrity booking after you make it!

Also turns out my cruise is now more expensive than my family’s because the celebrity customer service reps screwed something up!!

I give up for the day. I have such a headache from this. #firstworldproblems

Tell them they better get it straightened out or they will be hearing from your attorney!

Sorry the trip planning is such a PITA.

Dina, you could always pm me and I’d be more then happy to get you set up through the company I work for, URComped. With your play, you should only be paying port fees and taxes at best. I just hooked my parents up on back to back cruises in Venice, Italy and they don’t play anywhere near your level and for the two of them, it cost under $1300 for the first 7 day cruise and under $1300 for the second 7 day cruise and that’s on Royal Carribean and includes a balcony. Two people.
