ViolaSwamp Posted January 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was perusing this link that was posted in another thread: http://www.*****/Carnival/info.html And I see the following sentences: If you need postcards go to the Guest Services desk. They have ones with the picture of the ship on them for free. You can get a free deck of cards at the Guest Services desk. Is this true? I had no clue of this when we sailed CCL in 2010. A deck of cards would be a great little souvenir, as would a postcard. Please advise if these are indeed available and free, still. We will be on the Liberty again in less than a month. :cool: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anjoliza Posted January 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You should go to guest services fairly early as they sometime run out of the decks of cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richstowe Posted January 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I got a pack on the Pride ,Jan 2011. I believe they are phasing out the free cards. On the Fascination this month, they said they no longer give out free cards but you can buy used ones from the casino for a buck which are high quality. The freebies were very low quality and were generic Carnival cards without the name of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted January 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2012 i still have many unopened packs from the 80's when the ships were still small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted January 24, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2012 DH went to Guest Services to get a print-out of our charges on Liberty a few weeks ago. The person there handed him 2 decks of cards - brand new Carnival ones - really nice! He never asked for them - he didn't even know they had them! Maybe because he was Platinum, and very, very nice and polite to the person working that line!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainescout Posted January 25, 2012 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2012 We asked for a deck of cards and jokingly said we should bring them back as gifts for co-workers. Well the crew loved that idea and we ended up with 8-10 decks of cards for people back home. Everyone loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LoveMyBoxer Posted January 25, 2012 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's our Son's favorite thing to do when he first gets on a Carnival ship. He goes to gues services and gets a free deck of cards and a post card of the ship! He has quite a collection now! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-laner Posted January 25, 2012 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just off the Conquest as of Sunday. Both my sister and my mom picked up free decks of cards and we enjoyed a couple rounds of $1.35 while waiting to get off the ship. Really helped pass the time.

5waldos Posted January 25, 2012 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2012 To return to your cards- we couldn't get new ones but were able to get lightly used decks from the casino- but we weren't charged for them. So we were half way between many of the others here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oregonjuli Posted January 25, 2012 #18 Share Posted January 25, 2012 On Liberty is Dec, we got 2 packs of free cards. The first night when we inquired for some, they said they were out and to check back. (not sure how you get a new shipment at sea) on the next day at sea we went back and they gave us two packs. Keep in mind, they are thin and flimsy, but they work. Just don't plan on using them at your bridge tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiego Posted February 27, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Recently off the Spirit. Got the free playing cards but no free postcards. They only had the postcards for sale in the giftshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbieMom Posted February 27, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My boys discovered the free cards and of course took it to the extreme:rolleyes: Needless to say they took a bunch of them back to GS but they each kept a pack for themselves and brought a pack for 1 friend. I think used ones from the casino would be way cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryred Posted February 27, 2012 #22 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Last summer on the Glory the free playing cards were available every morning at the Speciality Coffee Shop. They only received 1 box daily from the ship's storage area and most days ran out by noon. Our last port day they announced we couldn't dock that day due to fog. The waiters at the inside lounges were freely handing out the cards while the CD made out a new Funtimes schedule and some one else woke-up the casino staff.
