Out to sea! Posted February 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2012 What is the best way to contact a PVP versus just a normal CSP? I want to purchase a cruise that hasn't listed yet and I believe a PVP can help me in getting the cabin I want as soon as the cruise lists. I also want to have no issues using my FCC and I have a daughter in the military coming with us so i have several challenges to navigate. That's why I want to use a PVP versus my normal online TA. Any thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted February 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You can: Call 1-800-819-3902 during their business hours of M-Th 11am-8pm, or F 9am-6pm, and tell them that you would like to speak to a Personal Vacation Planner. They will assign one to you. OR You can register online on the Carnival website. Once that's done, a PVP should be contacting you within 24 hours. One great thing about using a PVP is that once you submit your military paperwork (ID's DD-214, etc), it will be stored in that PVP's database so you won't need to re-submit for future cruises. Wish I could give you the name of our phenomenal PVP which we've used for the last 7+ years! (But Cruise Critic won't let me :() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted February 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ask around with friends who have sailed Carnival and you may get one that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. I have used the same PVP since 2001. She is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted March 2, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I tried to go the PVP route some years ago, but the 1st one went out on disability for a long period, the 2nd one was promoted after booking one cruise, the 3rd one quit after booking one cruise and I finally gave up and educated myself so I just call the 800 number or book online myself. I do a lot of outside of regular business hour bookings and I would never want to wait for my PVP to call me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA41018 Posted March 2, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I haved use the same PVP since we booked our first Carnival Cruise in 2004. Love her to death, she is fantastic. We have booked 21 cruises through her and she really takes care of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPAYNE1997 Posted March 2, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I booked my cruise online with Carnival can I switch it to a PVP? I would love to start working with a PVP so that I do not have to fax over my DD214 a million times to be told they never got it!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawkize Posted March 2, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Oh oneother thing it pays to look online to find the best deal as well so you can work with the PVP who has all the ships layouts in front of him so you can make sure your cabin is in a good location and at a good price.
