Hi Gang:
Hedy and I returned from the Seven Stars Signature Event cruise on the NCL
Dawn out of New Orleans Sunday. It certainly was a lot more organized and
professionally run than the chaotic one we took out of New York on the
Breakaway out of New York in November.
I'll be posting a detailed trip report on my website in a day or two.
But, first a few tidbits about Harrah's NOLA.
1) As Jean Scott mentioned recently there are no more discretionary comps
being issued in NOLA. None.
Our host told us that rewards credits must be exhausted first before any
comps are offered. This is obviously a big change in a place that was very
liberal with discretionary comps in the past. And all restaurants (except
Besh, The Buffet and Manning's) are now 2-for-1 when using comps.
2) The VP downgrades continue. The one Quick Quads machine with 8/5 bonus
poker (third from the left on the wall near the Besh Steakhouse) no longer
has this game. BP has been downgraded to 7/5, matching the other machines in
the row.
Although we never played them, a friend also told us that the machines with
8/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe have been downgraded as well. He said they were in
place when we left on the cruise but were downgraded when we came back a
week later.
3) The $500 Seven Stars Trip folio remains the same. It is downloaded into
your account prior to your arrival and remains there. It does not have to
be used on the trip. To my knowledge, NOLA is still the only Caesars
property in the country where this is true. At the other properties you must use
the $500 on that particular trip or you lose it.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy
