CanadianTwosome Posted November 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm considering a couple of Carnival cruises for our holiday trip next year, and I'm wondering if they have a program like NCL's Cruise Rewards Certificates. On NCL, a passenger can purchase a certificate, for $250, and receive a $100 OBC, so in effect getting $100 off their deposit on their next NCL cruise - and they are transferrable, so you can pick one up for a friend or as a gift. We've got friends cruising Carnival in the spring, so if such a program exists, I thought we might split the difference with them. :) Can anyone tell me if Carnival has something similar, and if so is it transferrable? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn125408 Posted November 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Carnival has them for $100. You can buy them only on a cruise ship and use them on future Carnival cruises. Send them the certificate before final payment and you get $100 off final payment and a $100 onboard credit. Not transferrable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago Posted November 21, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just booked for February and gave my T.A. the information. He called it in and my final payment was $100.00 less and I will be receiving my $100.00 OBC. I plan to buy another one on my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Koko Posted November 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If I remember correctly, if you book your next cruise onboard, your friends also get 'companion certificates' they can use for the same cruise you book. I plan on doing this for my 25th Anniversary cruise..I am going to book onboard and give the companion certs to my maid of honor and her husband, who will be with us as we renew our vows onboard!

CanadianTwosome Posted November 21, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks to everyone for the info. It's too bad they're non-transferrable, but it sounds like a great program. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted November 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Also, the amount of on board credit depends on the length of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okwriter Posted November 22, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Also, I "think" your friend on the same cruise has to be in a different cabin. IOW, only one certificate to a cabin. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 22, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You are correct 1 per cabin. Just purcahed on our cruise on the Glory Nov 7th, plan to use if on the Victory for next Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILBARGAINHUNTER Posted November 22, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2010 So where do you purchase these certificates at on the ship? Are they available during the entire cruise or just as "specials"? I usually book through a online TA and sometimes book the early savers rate can they be used on that rate class? Also if you book your next cruise on a "sale" through the TA where you get shipboard credit, does that have any effect on the shipboard credit you receive at the time of booking your cruise? Thanks!

yesaccasey Posted November 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2010 They are sold at different locations on different ships and are available only during certain hours. See the daily schedule for info. They are not used when booking a cruise. You send them in after the cruise is booked so it doesn't matter what fare you received (early saver, past guest, etc.).
