Only the Cheers is required to have everyone in the cabin purchase it. When you add the BBP to your cart it will put everyone in the room in the cart. But you can click on the X next to their names and remove them.

Interesting, but we did not get any e-mails about this 10% either at time of deposit or final payment? 

 

Not a big deal, just wondering if consistently communicated. 

The emails only comes when the shore excursions are so far out that they are not available to be booked yet, If you can book them its a box in your cruise manager tab when you book that gives you 48 hours to book at the discounted rate.

Maybe its a sign from the cruise gods that you need to book and go!

So they send you an email that excursions are now available?

Yes we have always gotten an email that says we have a certain amount of time to book the excursions at a 10% discount.

My DH and I are thinking about getting the Cruise the Vineyards package and was wondering if anyone knew if they have Moscato wine on the list and if so it its a premium or standard wine and what the name of it is? Thanks so much!

Which makes a whole bunch of sense when you book a cruise a year plus out and there are zero excursions posted....

 

 

I always book a year plus out and when the excursions do become available they give you the 24 hour window with the 10%.

Yes I have used AARP gift cards on last 3 sailings and am currently using them for my current one. I have always gotten the amount back on my account in the form of a gift card in the mail about 1-2 weeks after sailing. Just depends on the time of year you sail on how quick the mail runs. As for being able to purchase AARP gift cards. They are currently out of stock as of Thursday morning, but hoping they get them back soon. They usually have them back up on Mondays.

Thanks everyone! Just booked the 8 day couples pass and it was only 189.90 with the discount. I am happy and excited now.

What is this pass you are all speaking of? How much is it and what all is included with it? My next cruise is in Feb 2020 so its still to far out to book anything but I am curious. What part of the website would I find it when I go to look. Thanks everyone.

I was hoping it would get refunded to me as I paid for it, but I am not at all sure how to go about doing anything with it. Like I do not want to cancel my cruise and rebook it like the carnival agent said I could. It would cost me so much more for that and we would loose our OBC since that promotion isnt valid anymore.

We have a cruise booked for Aug 26th. The 4th person is claiming to be sick and is not going with us. We have the cruise insurance. I called carnival and they told me it would be a fee to cancel her off and rebook the cruise. I do not want to do all of that. I have read on here about just going and getting the tips and port fees and taxes back. How does that work? Insurance says 100% back in cash for illness? How does that work? Someone please help. Thanks.

Just throwing this out there. The last 2 cruises I have been on I have taken my sons large mixing cup that I got from walmart. He loves milkshakes and I love iced coffees. I know there is coffee shops but we like making our own. They have cartons of chocolate and white milk on the buffet and an ice cream machine. We mix what ever flavor he wants for the shake and add the ice cream and grab a cookie and crumble it on top. For the coffee I take the hot coffee and pour it over ice and add a little vanilla ice cream to it and makes a really good iced coffee.

With the steak house, can you order more then one entree like you can in the main dining room? I like steak and my husband likes fish but we wanted to order an extra lamb to try it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Our 2 tier cake was chocolate on the bottom and lemon on the top with the butter cream layers. It was really good. I was worried it wouldn't be but was very shocked and glad we did it.

Another thing to think about is the diaper situation. They DO NOT sell diapers on the cruise. So you will need to pack tons more then you need to. Where will it sleep? Will you have to pack a pack-&-play? Will they be using formula? If so are you going to buy all the distilled water on the ship or pack it all and bring it with you? You can not bring plastic bottles on the ship so it would have to be in a carton or in a can. On top of all that you still need to pack for your self and the other 2 in the room. To me all that alone is a lot to handle for such a small room.

I am diabetic and on the first night of the ship I go talk to the Maitre d’ and let them know. They will allow me to put in a request for a sugar free chocolate or carrot cake and they will have it ready the next night and store it so I can have a piece each night if I wish. Or they ask if I want something different the next time so they can make it in advance. The options are always there for you just make sure you go ask.

When I sailed in April I was told it was $100 hold on my debit card for the room or $200 cash per person. But I had added a $500 Carnival gift card at check in so there was never a hold on my account.

I had 50 OBC and the cruise was paid off, now I have 200 OBC and own them $2. Even tho the cruise rate was cheaper by $14 then taxes went up by $16 so I owed them $2. To be its a good deal.

How much are the fees? I will pay them to go in your place. I want to get away so badly.

You will not receive any confirmation from Carnival. I have done the same thing a few times and they always mail you out a new Carnival gift card in the postal mail. It usually takes 7 to 10 days from processing which can be a few days. You can call them and talk to them but they will not be able to give you any type of information as the gift cards come from a different place then the call center.

My husband received this offer but neither me or my son did. So I think its hit or miss but seems everyone can use the code. So lets get it out there so more people can save some money.

Just off the Elation and my son had wanted one so we got him his at Amazon for 39.99. When we where on the ship my son pointed out the for sale that was like his. Except it was 64.99 in the case.

Does anyone know if they still sell the $25 coupon book? If so does anyone know the expiration date? We are sailing in April and August. So could buy one and use for both? Thanks.

I have a similar situation. I am traveling with my 16 year old son his first cruise on 4/15 and his father is not in the picture and I have not spoken to him in 12 years. I am not even sure if hes alive or not. So my TA called Carnival to ask what to do when a letter can't be obtained. He was told that if I could not get a letter, then I had to have a court document saying that I had full and legal custody of the child. To which I had. So in case anyone has issues obtaining this letter. There is always options. But it is always best to call and get things verified before you do any type of travel.

Unfortunately we're note allowed to mention "that other site" here.

I'm sorry I had no clue. 😢
