Yeah, they are still there but if you try booking one it says no rates available no matter which port or type of room. I think they are going to cancel through end of May.

I have been looking at cheap Carnival May cruises and now you can't book anything in May. I then read where they were temporarily furloughing employees in Port Canaveral for port cruise operations to last until at least May 30.

I would call and ask. If I put in my VIFP # I  get 

Hot Streak from $94

20K Weekend Tournament from $103

Premier Special Edition from $538

Super Sweet Summer Getaway from $142

Getaway from $113

Exclusive Last Minute Carnival Players Club Offer from $10..(and there are a lot from different ports for March and April)

and other offers like More the Merrier, sailing with John Heald….

maybe they are all just casino offers? I only cruised once in 2016

Are the Pack N Go rates a thing of the past? When I go to that site all I see is a blank calendar:

I just wrote how I find my offers EXCLUSIVE LAST MINUTE OFFER: using my VIFP # when clicking.. Today's offers..on top of Carnivals website. I have only cruised once with Carnival and get a lot of cheap cruises for March and April.From  $10pp/ w$100obc

I have a lot of cheap cruises in my VIFP area on Carnival website. Go to Carnival... click on today's deals on top of page..put in VIFP # and it gives you your deals. EXCLUSIVE LAST MINUTE OFFER: lots of cruises FROM $10pp/w $100obc. March and April from many different ports. I have only cruises once with Carnival in 2016 and played slots. Got drinks on us card on 5th or 6th night. I posted on another topic but it was closed. They said the offer had expired? but my offer still shows up and says I have until March 31st to book. I had to use Crome because IE won't work. Also there are over 30 free inside rooms comped cruises in my offers from urcomped and I have never even used them before. You might look on there! 

I have a lot of  $10/w$100 obc  "Exclusive Last Minute Offers" under my VIFP offers and I have only sailed Carnival once in 2016. A lot of cheap cruises from all different ports for March and April.

I lost all mine too when Carnival cancelled our Triumph cruise years ago. I didn't think that seemed right!

I canceled a casino cruise with $198 non refundable deposite in November. I did it online. They kept as penalty $50 p.p.($100 total) and gave us a cruise credit for the $98 to use in the next 2 years. It was before final payment. I did not rebook.

Just seen this and thought it might help someone. Med Jet is having a Cyber Sale on Monday Dec. 2 only. $50 off annual individual or $75 annual family memberships. I'm not getting it but thought it might help save someone else some money.

Last April I booked a 4J on Vista for Feb. 2020. Soon after they were sold out. I was looking online the other day and one opened up for our cruise but sold soon after. Maybe book an inside then keep checking and if one becomes available then switch rooms. Maybe one will open up around final payment time.

It should say "Priority" on your luggage tags. That is the only thing on our Premier cruise we have booked for Feb. 2020. I did email casino@carnival.com with booking # and VIFP# to confirm what all was included with that offer. They did return my email a few days later with answer so I printed it out to take just in case! My husband is supposed to get a lot of Fun Play so just wanted to make sure that happens.

We board tomorrow so I will try to remember to update this when we confirm.

Thank you!

I asked John Heald on his Facebook page for any updates (for Vista) and he wrote saying he will let us know ASAP and to please stay tuned.

I don't know what I'm missing. I cant find the gift cards under "redeem", and I'm a member. I found a few giftcards but they weren't many and not grouped as in "travel", etc.  Where did you find them? Thanks

I don't see them on there anymore. They must have took them off because they were having issues. At least that's what I have read.

I am going on the Vista in February for my honeymoon. We are currently in a Cove Balcony which is all fine and dandy, but my hope is to upgrade to a Havana room. They are currently all sold out, but I keep checking.

I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount to upgrade to the Grand Suite, but paying an additional 200% on our current rate is a little extreme. Has anybody had any luck calling the upsell fairy (as opposed to waiting for them to call you) and getting a good deal on a better cabin?

Your cruise wouldn't happen to be the Feb. 22nd Vista cruise is it? I read on the group Facebook page that the whole Havana area has been booked by a group. It was talked about it in March.

No. You do not have to be a member to take advantage of the gift card promotions.

I just logged on, earned 5000 points, then looked at the gift cards. There are 2 Carnival cards. $100 for $90 and $500 foe $448 but now you have to be a member to get them:(

I know that with cruise cash you use it or loose it while on your cruise. What happens if you buy cruise cash and then something happens and you need to cancel your cruise. Do they refund your cruise cash money? Has that happened to anyone? Thanks

I sent them an email for the same reason in May. Our cruise isn't until next Feb. I asked them to confirm that it was a Premier cruise and what I should  be getting. They (Global Casino Services= ( casino@carnival.com) sent email back the next day saying all that I would get.....

Free play

drinks on us cards for 2 etc. 

Maybe it's just taking longer right now?

Can you get an order of onion rings instead of fries with your burger?

Have you called them directly ? 

They wrote back from Falstaff...

"Good afternoon Ms...….

You are correct we are not sold out for February, 2020 but it is not available for booking just yet.  The cruise lines issue out a final port of call itinerary in August each year for the following year and that is when we will enable bookings for then."

checked to book in nov of 2020 and already shows sold out

I tried to book for Feb. 2020 and it says sold out. I think they just do not book that far out maybe? 

I emailed them about it. Still waiting to hear back.

Oh my.  Please post any and all future cruising plans on this board, so the rest of us know to avoid booking any ships you're on.  Just kidding, hope your Vista cruise is uneventual and fun.  

Thanks! 🙂 We made it on the Dream in 2016 with no problems!

Damn, I wish I was booked on a cancelled cruise 😉

 

Not every cancelled  cruise gets the same things. I was booked on the Triumph when it was in Galveston in 2013. They cancelled my cruise because it was stuck out in Gulf. I rescheduled it for later the same month and was cancelled again! I finally cancelled it. All I got was refund and 25% off coupon that I never ended up using. Now I am booked on Vista for next Feb. 

Boy I can pick 'em can't I!

Just booked the Hot Streak promotion which included the 500 OBC and DOU while in the casino.  2 questions:

1. Can I use my OBC before the cruise to purchase anything on Carnivals website?  Some cruise lines let you use their OBC to purchase items before the cruise.

2. The promotion on Carnival's booking site clearly states DOU while in the casino, but now that I have my confirmation I'm not seeing it anywhere?  any help with this for those that have had the same or similar offers in the past would be helpful.

I don't think you can spend OBC until you are onboard. 

We booked a Premier cruise for next Feb. and also could not find anything on confirmation about it so I emailed the casino dept. and they sent me an email about all that  we would receive. I printed it out just incase.

I am not paid in full but can still click "print documents" and it lets me see the luggage tags and document.
