Does Carnival still give the 25% OBC on your 25th cruise (or a cruise after your 25th)?

 

If so, I assume it is based on the per person cabin fare and not the entire cost of the cabin.

 

Anyone know if this is still available?

 

Nope...that all changed with the new VIFP stuff rolled out

I believe you are incorrect.

 

Still get 25% off cruise fare for 25th cruise but you only get it for one passenger. DW for example would have to get hers on a later cruise

The Milestone program is separate from the VIFP program and it is alive and well. You can use the 25% OBC on your 25th or later cruise and you have two years to use it. It is on the base fare for the person who is achieving Milestone. If a couple achieves Milestone together they can use both awards on the same cruise or it can be used on different cruises. This OBC is non-refundable and must be spent on the cruise or you lose it. If you want to use it on the 25th cruise, call Carnival after your 24th to make sure it is on their records.

So it would be on your 25th cruise? Not number of days sailed to be Milestone?

DW and I will reach our 25th at same time and have been told by Carnival we cannot use the awards on the same cruise.

That doesn't make sense to me (as in that does not seem right/fair)!

We just completed our 25th. Have not gotten the letter yet, but I tend to agree with you (as I normally do). Not to thread steal, but how was the Freedom?

Congrats on the Milestone!!

 

It was a lot of fun - what amounts to my review is HERE - though the "review" is spread over multiple pages.

 

Actually we just booked a return visit yesterday for the week before Thanksgiving (on another Premier Casino sailing)!

We should reach 25 next year and had been thinking about using it for Hawaii or Europe but if only one of us gets the 25% at a time perhaps not worth it.

 

We shall see

Send an email my way ( gatrnol@hotmail.com ) - there might be a way to get a definitive yes/no -- hopefully YES!

Since the 25% is in the form of an OBC, and is non refundable, it might be better to take it on two separate cruises. I'm almost positive that the lovely Mrs. Jones and I took ours on the same cruise as well, but it's been a few years ago. We're coming up on the 50% one before long! :eek:

I received my Milestone reward letter in the mail a few months after going on my 24th cruise. I did not apply it on my 25th cruise because it was only a 3 nighter so I waited to use it on my next cruise which was a 7 nighter.

Do they still issue you with a special commemorative Milestone CARD

for your 25th. and 50th. cruises?

 

Would love to see one.

Would love to have one for my cruise-card collection!

These are two blank Milestone cards I have.

Older style at top. Current issue below.

If we did it on say a European cruise between the tips and a ships excursion or two, not to mention an internet package think we could manage to spend it without difficulty.

Your answer here is wrong. The Milestone program is still in place. 25% onboard credit on your 25th cruise. Or you can take it on a cruise afterwards. You have two years to use it.[/quote

Can you get $100 OBC for booking your 25th cruise (7 Days) while on a cruise and also get the 25% OBC ?

Yes, they still give them out. We got them on the Splendor 08/13. Exactly like the Pltatinum card only white. I will post it later this evening
