We did our first Premier cruise on an 8 day cruise on the Horizon this past January. Really enjoyed it. Hubby and I both got $1,000 each in freeplay but were never picked in the drawings. We are booked on a back to back on the Celebration this coming January with the first leg being a Premier cruise and the second leg being an Ultra cruise. Can't wait to see what the Ultra is like!
@darrellhedgepeth550 we each have our own offers since we both play in the casino. Our PVP (personal vacation planner - someone who works for carnival directly) is able to apply it when we book. Hope that helps!
Never did a Premiere cruise with carnival as yet...did the getaway cruise and that was nice too. The next level up from Premiere is Elite cruises! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video with all the information! They keep sending my girlfriend casino deals where it's just paying the port fees (for interior room)! The crazy thing is that her deals are better than mine, and we both went on our first Carnival cruise together where I got over 20x more casino points then she did! Almost all the onboard spending, and all payments were through me as well... Wish I knew the algorithm they use for casino promotions lol.
I can tell you I play slots in my husband plays cards I get many more offers than he does usually then include a balcony for two and some sort of FreePlay and all the gifts that were mentioned in the video I always end up with a nice heavy beach blanket towel which I love her pool at home❣️ I hope to book one year before fall
Matilda the cash cow is my favorite. never been picked to play her, but maybe someday. on my last cruise it was a ultra, every night at midnight they picked 1 lucky player to win $1000.00 casino cash. I was picked! it was a miracle. il kinda spoiled now, only want to go on premier or ultra. who am I kidding, ill go on any cruise. lol
Is there a price limit per drink of what you can order with "Drinks on us while playing in the casino"? Is it the same as the Cheers, max $19.95 limit per drink?
Wow this sounds wonderful, Royal Caribbean will give the free cruises but not all that other stuff. I have gotten free cruises from Casino Royale not counting the taxes and gratuities. Premier sounds great!
I’ve got a premier offer right now but it’s crap, only $100 obc and it’s $800 for two. I’m going regular next month with $500 obc and the total cost was $497. I know I’m gonna have to book at some point just waiting for better deal. Really want that ultra!!!
I’m trying to get on a ultra cruise I’m assuming I have to go on a premiere first which I plan on doing coming up for seven days I’m excited for the premiere as well never been on one
I got a question. So I got the upcoming premiere cruise on august 2023. But I got a chance to get fttp. Should I not buy the fttp? I just care about embarking and debarking lol
Hi. I know we had priority embarkation. I do not recall that we had anything special with debarkation (although that might not be the case). I also just looked up perks of a premiere cruise and the only thing it said was "priority Check-in." I hope that helps!
How was the Elite Cruise? I'm going on one this Dec out of NY. Your right, can't find much info on Elite, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know, Thanks
@@barbaragillespie393 Hey Barbara - It was great and have been on two now since then and a third in two weeks. The gifts were vastly different on the two elites I went on. Its nice being platinum and the drink package was great for us.
@@dkivell Thanks for getting back to me. I'm going in Dec for a Xmas cruise as an Elite for the first time. Never did Premier or Ultra either. Did you win any Free Play money. Do they have drawings or prizes for Elite guest? Have a great time on your next trip. I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!!
@@barbaragillespie393 Hey Barbara - I didn't win any of the drawings they had on either one. I guess i "expected" there to be more drawings. The prizes I received that I really enjoyed were a nice carry on Duffle bag, a nice Bluetooth Speaker. If you dont like the shore excursions offered (we didnt) we opted for the credit of $150.00 per quest in the room and booked other excursions we wanted to do. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
@@dkivell Thanks so much!! Only one more question, Was there a lot of Elite players on board? I understand that they have a special Elite event (i'm guessing Cocktail hour). How many drawings did they have for Elite members/ (appx?)
We have our first premier cruise tomorrow - there is so little info in RUclips! We have only been on one cruise but got Premier & Ultra offers so I guess we are official degenerates lol😅

That's awesome!! My husband and I will also be on the Celebration in January for my 55th birthday!! Can't wait!! Counting down the days!!
Forgot to mention, it's our first Premier Cruise!
How does your partner get free play also? Do you call customer service?
@darrellhedgepeth550 we each have our own offers since we both play in the casino. Our PVP (personal vacation planner - someone who works for carnival directly) is able to apply it when we book. Hope that helps!
Thanks for sharing your experience with premier cruising. Very interesting learning about the perks involved. I would be happy with the free play!
I just found your channel, love it!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for this informative video. Have you done a Premier cruise since then? Has it changed?
Matilda the cash cow is my favorite. never been picked to play her, but maybe someday.
on my last cruise it was a ultra, every night at midnight they picked 1 lucky player to win $1000.00 casino cash. I was picked!
it was a miracle.
il kinda spoiled now, only want to go on premier or ultra.
who am I kidding, ill go on any cruise. lol
Thanks for the video. Going in our first premier in Nov. Looking forward to it.
on a premier cruise, are casino conditions better? Particularly with table games.....like are there more shoe games on blackjack?
Really cool! I appreciate the overview it sounds like a great time!
We went on a Carnival Premier cruise in March...it was awesome! Loved the special treatment and gifts! Will do it again if offered!
awesome review guys. thanks!

it you do a premier cruise with carnival do they put priority on your ticket or prenier
Hi! I don’t remember exactly what they put on the ticket but they do indicate it somehow and you get the perks. Hopefully that helps!
I’ve got a premier offer right now but it’s crap, only $100 obc and it’s $800 for two. I’m going regular next month with $500 obc and the total cost was $497. I know I’m gonna have to book at some point just waiting for better deal. Really want that ultra!!!
Only Carnival offers these great deals 🎉❤
They have free cookies at the buffet but nice all the same. And those cookies are amazing!

@@AdventuresAhead Thank You 🙏🏻 that helps a lot!
Doing my First Elite Cruise in January. If you do an Ultra, please do a video on it. There isn't one on RUclips.

Yay!! Have so much fun! Hope you get some great gifts and win big!
Do you get free parking?
Not for a premier cruise unfortunately. You do for an Elite… I’m not sure about Ultra
Great vlog as usual..
how long do u have to earn points. In royal you have 1 yr and the update 4-1. Does carnival have this
So helpful!
Going on my 1st premier next month. Will both me and my girlfriend have a chance for the prizes or just myself?
As along as your offer said “for you and a guest”..yes
@@TheNESevolution Thanks. My offer did include a companion but I was under the assumption that that was only for the “drinks on us” part of the offer.
Going on a getaway cruise next month
Did anyone hit a jackpot ?
You don't seem sure what it was you got! Why do a video on it if you don't really know?
Carnival is a joke overcharged us and can’t get anyone to answer our calls will never cruise with them again
So sorry that’s been your experience. We have been fortunate to have great experiences so far! Good luck
you 2 make a lovely couple and love the video
