newbiecruiser-texas Posted June 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2011 i am sure i'll be hooked and wondered if there was any incentives and such to purchase another cruise while on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It depends on the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It looks like you are cruising on Carnival. If you research, and then ask that question on the Carnival board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215 you will get your answer, and lots of other info on Carnival.

cruiserking Posted June 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2011 While I have not cruised with Carnival I have found that I have always gotten much better rates from my land based cruise agent. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryL Posted June 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm not sure it is about cheap fares as much as it may be about getting a preferred deck or cabin for booking early (or new sailings). Usually (Princess) there is a minimum deposit required to book while on board which can be an advantage. Sometimes you can get onboard credits. We have also had to cancel and were able to transfer bookings at no additional charge. I would talk to whomever the cruise line agent on your Carnival ship who does the bookings. I have never been on Carnival but they should be abe to explain the incentives for booking while on the ship. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sunluva7 Posted June 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I think you are asking about future cruises while on a cruise. Yes, most lines have some kind of future cruise booking program while on a current cruise. Typically, you make a $100/pp deposit on a future cruise. In return, they give you $50-150 in on board credit for the future cruise, depending upon the cabin booked. You can either book a specific cruise right then and there or leave it as an open booking, and choose the sailing later, within the next 4 years or so. If you change your mind, you can get a refund of your depost. Nothing to lose, really. If you have a favorite agent you use, or later on you find an agent offering special perks or a lower price, the booking can be transferred to them.
