Not sure why you keep insisting that you take 10% off the fully priced onboard purchase. The promotion is not "10% off" the onboard purchase price. The promotion is "save 10%". That implies there is a 10% difference between the fully priced onboard purchase and the fully priced pre-board purchase, which is directionally true, except for a 9.5 cents discrepancy.

Yes, I've always wondered if they were consistent in there OBC regarding B2B's. I once booked two 7-day cruises B2B and they gave me a $250 OBC as if it were a 14-day cruise. So I had wondered how they would treat a B2B of less than 14 days. Now I know.

Nowhere does it say 10% off. It just says "save 10%". I think I will write Carnival and ask them to increase the on-board Cheers purchase price by $1 to $65.95 as it's "save 10%" is upsetting to many Cruise Critic members, given the 9.5 cents differential... 🤣

At least my math is directionally correct. 😂

Thanks. OK, Lets do the math... I like doing the math... $64.95 $11.69 (18% Gratuity) ===== $76.64 -- Total Cheers price when purchased on-board. $59.95 $10.79 (18% Gratuity) ===== $70.74 -- Total Cheers price when purchased in advance. $76.64 - $70.74 ====== $ 5.90 Difference between prices, which is 10% of the advance purchase price minus 9.5 cents.

I don't see anywhere on Carnival's site that says or mentions a "10% discount". Caan someone share the link that says this ?

Was on the Miracle May 29 this year for a 10-day Alaskan cruise. I couldn't be more pleased with the check-in and boarding process. We arrived at 9:45am -- 1 hour and 15 minutes before our 11am check-in. Dropped off our luggage with the porters. They had 5 lanes roped off outside - one for each check-in time that folks waited in. They processed each check-in lane fairly quickly -- our 11am check-in lane was released before 10:30am and we were fully checked in and waiting for boarding by 10:45am. We boarded the ship around 11:20am. The Lanes were great and eliminated confusion. There was plenty of seating inside the terminal after check-in while waiting to board.

Just back from this cruise June 10. Expect 55F to 65F temps. Jeans and t-shirt or sweatshirt. A lightweight waterproof jacket in case it rains. Warmer Jacket just in case or to wear when out on the balcony.

So... In summary, If everyone just did the $51... plus the $2 bill... plus random souvenirs and local chocolates from your home town... a John Deere hat... a "I Love Cruising" t-shirt... a bottle of local hot sauce... and a Pringles bought at the airport... This would be more than an adequate TIP. Now... The cash moneys distribution is pretty straight forward, but I'm wondering how they would distribute the random souvenirs and local chocolates from your home town... the John Deere hat... the "I Love Cruising" t-shirt... the bottle of local hot sauce... and the Pringles bought at the airport amonst the staff.

OK... I'm starting to hear a little pressure here... I'll do the $51... plus the $2 bill... plus random souvenirs and local chocolates from your home town... a John Deere hat... a "I Love Cruising" t-shirt... a bottle of local hot sauce... and a Pringles bought at the airport. Anything more, and I think y'all are being ridiculous with your tipping.

Braised short ribs Escargot Frog Legs Lobster Baked Alaska Alligator Beignets Oysters -- Rockefeller or Fried or Raw... whichever. Beef Wellington Veal Cutlets Crab Cakes If I have room: Crème Brûlée, Bitter n Blanc, Grand Marier Soufflé, and French Onion Soup, Banana Split.

I'll do your $51... plus your $2 bill... plus random souvenirs and local chocolates from your home town... throw in the John Deere hat... And a "I Love Cruising" t-shirt.

I really like that Carnival has worked out the TIPping... one less thing to consider while I'm vacationing.

Restart your computer. Should clear things up.

Booze cruise is just a reference to fast getaways -- short 3 and 4 day cruises where people just want to get away (from work) for a couple days and party a bit... take in a comedy club show... etc. Some people refer to these cruises as cruises to nowhere since there might be very little interest in the foreign port the ship must stop at. Theoretically, there might be more people inclined to pack in the drinking during this shorter duration as opposed to spreading the partying out over the course of the cruise during a 7-day cruise or longer.

Did it work... did all your OBC's show up ?

CCL has first-quarter revenue of $4.4 billion (95% of 2019 levels) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $382 million. However, it has $32.7 billion in long-term debt. The positive adjusted EBITDA looks great on paper, but it doesn't even defray the $539 million paid out in interest expense that quarter and other outflows like debt principle pay-down or capital expenditures -- expected to total a whopping $3.2 billion in 2023 before jumping $4.1 billion in 2024.

Log in and click "Booking & Order Details" tab Next, click on "View Invoice Details" ( halfway down page on left side ) Down at the bottom left, where it says On-Board Credits, click the little down-arrow to expand the detail. It should show all OBC's that you have been given.

I have a mustache, so I prefer a straw... well, others around me prefer I use a straw... 😂

I can't believe that ship is balanced there on blocks...

American Disability Act. Cabins that can accommodate folks with disabilities.

In my view, it's not an upgrade if you have to pay a penny more than the price you have already booked.

I read somewhere that David is not being removed during dry dock.

Not sure why you posted this. Trolling ?

A similar thread was started April 3rd... sounds like Gift Cards can become dicey just to save 10%.
