planb Posted December 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Has anyone noticed that once you have booked a cruise with Carnival all their e-mails with promo's stop? Our last 3 cruise this happen. As of the day prior to boooking we would be 1 about every other day than once booked NOTHING! We tested it again and booked in November we usually get tons of Hey, How about, Best prices Ever e-mails from them and they ended the next day. Funn since we book early savers and maybe this is a way to keep it out of your mind if the prices go lower pr change to 2 for 1. We do check them but wonder if those 1 day sales make it past alot of people due to no e-mails.:cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted December 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2010 We still get stuff periodically from Carnival. Never though one every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted December 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Funn since we book early savers and maybe this is a way to keep it out of your mind if the prices go lower pr change to 2 for 1. We do check them but wonder if those 1 day sales make it past alot of people due to no e-mails.:cool::cool: Their system is set up that way. A big reason is because, once booked, many people don't want to be bothered with further promotional emails. The other reason is because many of these "special promotions, one day sales, etc" don't really apply to people who have already booked. These special sales will have a specific promotional code, which can't be combined with whatever promotional code the person might already be booked under.

AWCHIEF Posted December 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2010 My only complaint about the Carnival e-mail system is I am no longer receiving comment card/emails. Nothing for the last 5 cruises. O'well, I suppose Carnival no longer cares if "they have exceeded my expectations". As a Platinum customer I find this a bit offensive. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted December 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I received a comment email about 10 days after our Liberty trip last month. From what I read on the the boards, it's hit or miss as to who receives one. I'm sure it's nothing personal. It was nice to be able to mention how great our service was!

As witnessed by their new website they don't want you to find a lower price once you're booked. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planb Posted December 26, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted December 26, 2010 We did try and see if we set up another e-mail from our other mails and we receive no specials or offers on that only a person to call to set up a new cruise. Anyone find how to "really" see what is offered or lower prices? And yes I don't like the new sight either.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As witnessed by their new website they don't want you to find a lower price once you're booked. Bill this is my thinking. This has been a problem for years. No one seems to be able to get them unless you provide a 2nd email addy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboardcruiser Posted December 29, 2010 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I used to receive e-mails from Carnival about every few days. Once I booked my second Carnival cruise, I noticed they stopped. Once I sailed on Princess (which I don't plan to do again), I even called to reinstate e-mails, and have yet to receive them (after calling in the fall of 2007). I would much rather sail on Carnival than Princess (after giving Princess 2 chances), but I suppose I, too, will have to rely on checking out the website periodically for deals.

We have yet to receive an email comment card either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
