Seems like NCL must really be filling up its cruises with gamblers....or trying to. My mailbox has been full of offers lately for those "almost free" NCL cruises lately. One from every Harrahs property I play at, including Vegas, Laughlin, Tahoe, New Orleans, and Biloxi. On top of that, offers from Vegas Tropicana and Palms.
Some were inside cabins, some oceanview, a couple balcony. On top of that the 7* Harrahs signature event is a free (actually free this time since they are paying taxes and NCF) cruise to Bermuda. I'm going on that one.
Yesterday arrived an offer from NCL's Casino at Sea department. (I had played on my last cruise quite a bit). This is for 3 free cruises, choose 1, 2, or all 3. With a free slot tournament on board....Minisuites this time.... Theoretically a far better offer than any of those certificates I'd gotten from casinos where I REALLY had played a lot.
But the strange thing was, when I asked about the 11 day southern Caribbean one offered, they were sold out of minisuites and anything above. No handicapped cabins either (which I need). Why offer a cruise that's pretty much sold out? Strange. I decided to book one from New Orleans, since they had a handicapped room, but only in balcony category, no handicapped in minisuite.
One interesting thing is that if you have played on NCL you may well qualify for a better offer from their Casinos at Sea department than from one of those certificates.
Unfortunately NCL is the one who seems super eager to get gamblers onboard. I much preferred Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, or Princess (even Carnival, though with all the problems on their ships lately it doesn't make one too anxious to choose that line).
Anyway, interesting....
