We went on Wonder last October for our first cruise and I was very impressed. We earned enough points in the casino to go for “free” again but this time we went on Navigator last month. During that cruise we earned enough points to get 2 cabins so we’re taking our granddaughter for her 21st birthday in the fall. Even though we gambled to get a “free” cruise, it was still cheaper than if we’d paid the advertised price, plus we had fun doing it.
Yes. That’s what we’ve always done. Of course, we usually lose in the casino. But less money than what a cruise costs. And we get free drinks, so we don’t buy the drink package. A couple of times, we actually WON money. Those ‘free’ cruises are the best.
