For example, mine was for an ocean view on any Caribbean, Mexican, or Alaskan cruise. Read the fine print though - it should specify cabin type and locations. The invitation to pick up my certificate doesn't say which cruises, and I wondered if anyone has redeemed one of these and if it's a good deal, or will it become a travel nightmare? Thanks for any help - hoping to finally get to take a cruise!

I've never cruised yet, but got a mailing from the Golden Nugget in LV that I get a 4-7 day cruise (of course subject to black out dates) to be used within one year. Look at it as a way for marketing partners to fill up projected unsold/vacant cabins for upcoming cruises and to generate net revenue - your investment could yield varied returns - you know the odds for slots & table games, whether you play or roll with it is up to you. The worst it could happened is you declined to book the offer & give them your payment info - we can only offer generalized info here on this board. The best & most reliable way to find out what's doable & what's NO is to pickup the certificate, read the details & speak to the host/cruiseline and/or TA reps familiar with the TAS & quote you the charges, etc. If you are a rated player and cruising anyway, it's a nice way to get the package at a discount, restrictions & blackout periods apply.

When we have the offers from the 'other' infamous CT casino and the ones from Vegas, they have an exclusive TA involved & doing all the details, including any air & ground transportation, and insurance is (sometimes) mandatory but reasonable. You can add a person to the cabin but they can be close to the rack rates listed & not necessary the lowest then available rate - and you are likely to NOT get credit for the cruise as it's not cosidered a regular fare (some do, check the fine prints on page xxx :D and the cruiseline's website, etc.)

These land-based casino offers done in partnership with the cruiselines are generally NOT transferrrable as it would otherwise be 'bartered' (translation = sold/exchanged) to others, discounted or otherwsie.
