Carnival Coupons on Ebay?

[easternshoregirl]

Just wondering if anyone out there has used these coupons and how they work. They have coupons for $100.00 off a Carnival and and I was wondering how they work, if they are good on any Carnival cruise? Thanks!

The best bet would be to call Carnival directly and find out... that is who counts... you have to be careful with these coupons and gift certs.. a lot of them specifically state you must pay "brochure" price for the cruise... also a lot of them require you to book through a special travel agent who charges more than you would get if you shopped around etc... some don't even let you pick your sail date...

 

I got some last year without reading the small print... I paid $50 each and got two.. each one was supposed to be for buy 1 get 1 free on a Carnival cruise.. so you pay for the first person in full and get the second one free plus port charges... but you had to use THEIR TA, you had to pay brochure price AND you could only request a certain sale date and it wasn't guaranteed... so even tho I was only paing for the first passenger, it worked out to be more expensive TOTAL than just paying for both people and shopping around... I ended up never using them...

I actually bought one of these off e bay a long time ago..I got it for cheap and wanted to check it out, lol. Mine specifically said that in order to use it you have to pay brochure price. If you book thru a TA or an online agency you would save much more $$ and you can probably bet that the price you pay is well below the brochure price...much lower than $100. SO no, from what I found those coupons are generally worth squat. Now if it says you can use it off any cruise booked thru any agent at any price then yeah grab it, but that is highly unlikley, lol.

A little off topie- There are coupons in the Entertainment book. We received one as a Christmas gift and I never thought I would use any of the coupons (not real organized in that department). When I was preparing to book our August cruise, I remembered seeing a Carnival Coupon. We received $100 off our 7 day cruise (I think the discount is less for fewer days). We had to book a category 6A or higher (no inside cabins). Also, I don't think it can be used for the category guarantee cabins, i.e. OV guarantee, balcony guarantee. Also, I believe it has to be for new bookings only.

What is the "entertainment book?"

[gtalum]

What is the "entertainment book?"

 

The Entertainment Book is a book of coupons that you can buy for ~$20 or so, depending on where you live. There is a book for every major metropolitan area in the US. Many of the coupons in the book are specific to your local area, but many others are nationwide. The Carnival coupons are in every book nationwide. They don't have too many restrictions, except that they cannot be used on categories below 6A.

Thanks:) :) :)

When using these $100 value coupons do you have to book through Carnival themselves, through a travel agent, or is it up to you? I am assuming you can use them on expedia or anything online? Any help would be appreciated.

[rgreenpc]

I used one on my Cat 11 for my honeymoon...

 

I used a TA - she just had to send in the coupon with my deposit.

[gtalum]

Teh coupon specifically states that it can be used directly with carnival or through any TA. As was mentioned, the TA just sends the coupon to Carnival with your deposit.

[fozziscooter]

Are online sites such as Expedia considered to be TA's?
