I did Diamond in a Day for 2015 and actually was up a couple of hundred! :)

sure, I can lay back and just eat the free food at the Diamond lounge and go on the 2 free cruises. (pay taxes and port fees of ~$300)

What else to do to maximize my Diamond?
or just lay back till expires on March 31, 2017?

I guess I was mistaken... you did diamond in a day in the past 15 days and will have it for over two years? I was expecting you'd only have it until 3/2016. I might have to reconsider doing it in a couple of weeks.

Be aware that port fees and taxes are about 300 a person.

I got my free cruise from local casino. If you are getting it through norwegian, if you book it by the end of the month you can get the free drinks promo. It normally runs 54 a day per person. So far our cruise has cost us 754 including air and now we are getting ultimate beverage package for free. Pretty good deal I wold say.

From what I read online, if you get in via the Casinos At Sea program, all your drinks are covered, in the casino, at least. Haven't checked fees yet, but I'm planning to hit the Mexican Riviera since it's local.

Yes that is true, free drinks in the casino. We were planning on only drinking there but with this offer we can be loaded all week for free.

I am Diamond, and I have 2 cruises / year offered, offers include free bev's at the tables, some free play, base room for 2. Upgradable for money, port and taxes extra.

I am also Casino at Sea and receive similar offers, usually including an onboard tournament of some kind.

Don't forget your Diamond Celebration dinner, $100/year that doesn't come out of your RC's, which I did forget last year but had one this year before expiration March 2015. Also 1 show or tickets/month (for 2) again not out of RC's, covers all lesser and some top CET shows, Eiffel Tower, High Roller ferris wheel, some other things. The player's club has a list they keep current.

You also get a better rate on your FreePlay if you use RC's to buy it from the casino.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Wish I knew that earlier in the month when my schedule was looser...

Who do you talk to about the free show tickets? I don't see any official mention of it online, though a quick search showed up a few discussions about it. (Mostly debate as to whether or not Diamond still get them, though there are multiple confirmations of them being offered this year.)

I think the one I had this year was my 2014 diamond celebration, which was good until March 31 this year. So you still have 2 1/2 months.

They don't advertise the tickets. If you go to the TR booth and ask about Diamond event tickets, they will show you a list of about a dozen. The list changes; I was surprised to see Million Dollar Quartet and Jersey Boys available this time, as neither was on the list 9 months ago, and they're the top shows at their respective properties. You get 1 set of two/month maximum.

They are most definitely around. I have been diamond for two years and just found out about them in October. I am diamond from play in San Diego and visited a players club in Vegas and they told me about it. I recommend Penn and Teller if you have never seen them!
