Hilton Orlando Hotel and Cruise Deal Offer

So, I just got off the phone with a Hilton associate to get a 3-nights Orlando vacation to stay at any of the Orlando Hilton properties for $499 ($561 incl. tax). Must stay before November 2018. I will receive 2 tickets for a 3-nights cruise to the Bahamas, after I hear a 2 hours presentation from the one of the resorts they are currently promoting. And they will provide me a $200 credit to be used for 1-night at any Hilton properties. Must go on cruise within one year from the date of the presentation and cannot go on the cruise until after 3 days from the presentation date. Ticket has no value when it’s not used and cannot be transferred or replace if it’s lost. 

Things to consider: 

I paid $499 total. Hilton hotels average about $99/nt = $99 x 3 nts  = $297 total. So I spent $202 for 2 tickets for a 3-nights cruise to the Bahamas with Royal Carribean ($101/person). Cheapest deal I found was for $186/person with 2nd person 50% off and $26 onboard credit ($126.50/person). *** Good deal! Total save $50 on cruise plus $200 a night stay at any Hilton property). 

Depending which day I go, I may need to pay more if I go on one of the holidays -- around $129 extra = $499 + $129 = $628 cost; So, this is like me spending $331 for 2 tickets for a 3-nights cruise to the Bahamas with Royal Carribean ($165.50/person). ***Okay deal! I would overpay $78 on the cruise, but the night free at Hilton property would offset this. 

**Of course, these hotel and cruise information are based on the cheapest possible deals; Therefore, there are rooms for us to make the best of this offer. I just hope I don’t lose out since the margin of opportunity is actually pretty tight! I will follow-up after I actually go on this trip next year!
