Yes, they still give them out. We got them on the Splendor 08/13.

Exactly like the Platinum card only white. ===> My color is not correct in those pics shown

I will post it later this evening

Great to know! Thanks for the response.

Looking fwd. to seeing it.

If you have any spare/duplicate cruise cards you'd part with

I'd love to have them for my collection (of over 200 cards, nowadays!).

 

Please have a look at what I've already accumulated:

These ^ are just some of what I have! :)

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 it is combinable with any other obc you might have.

If I understand it right. I still pay full price for the cruise. But I get OBC for 25% of the price of my fare.

 

Yep, it's 25% of the BASE FARE, not including port charges, taxes, etc. Let's assume the base fare is $1000 per person, and it's you and your spouse. That would make it $2000 + the taxes, port charges, etc, for an assumed total of $2400. You'd still only get 25% of YOUR base fare, or an OBC of $250. If both of you were celebrating your Milestone Cruise, and they do indeed allow it, then you'd have an OBC of $500. (Non refundable)

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.

 

This is incorrect (What a surprise, someone at Carnival gave out misinformation!!!). We used both our 25% credits on the same Med. cruise a couple of years ago. We are using my 50% milestone credit on a northern TA next month. When I called the Diamond desk the rep. asked me if we wanted to use both credits on that cruise. Because of other OBC we decided to save it, but both could have been used on the same cruise.

Very interesting, perhaps it is worthwhile saving it for new ship

That's exactly what I'm going to do with my 50%. We usually have a fairly hefty OBC anyway, with the "book onboard", Stockholders OBC, Military, and whatever else we can stir up. It makes perfect sense to split them up into two separate cruises. ;)

With 50% makes sense to me, figure with 11-14 day cruise and 25% can easily use up the 25% plus stockholder credit, etc

I would look to do this on a longer European or TA cruise

 

 

Carnival is leaving Europe after this year and TA cruises are usually reasonably priced because a number of people are unable to take that much time off. I did a 15 day TA in a balcony for $799/person.

 

Meanwhile, those suites can be quite pricey.

Milestone is still by number of cruises and not number of days. The Milestone and VIFP programs are completely separate.

 

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.

 

We used both of ours on the same cruise on the Magic in the Med. in 2011.

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

 

You can combine as many different kinds of OBC as you can get. We had Early Saver price drops, which were refundable; stockholder, future cruise certificate, and Milestone which are all non-refundable.

We plan on looking closely at TA for later next year. Wish the air part of this was not so expensive

This thread got me thinking that maybe I should squeeze in some extra cruises between now and the Vista med cruise I want to take in 2016. A 3 and 4 day B2B would make the Vista number 25 for us.

What makes you think there will be a Vista med cruise in 2016?

Very true but since the Med and S Europe is still warm wonder if they might.

 

Don't disagree, it will be interesting to see what happens. We are going to a TA event on the Sunshine in NO in November. I will ask some people in upper management who will be there (if we don't hear anything in the interim).

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)!

Missed your reply until just now. I will read it. Thanks for the congrats.

Perhaps I should have said TA cruise. Same thing to me. I get to go to Europe.

 

If it's a TA, I'll go a few days early and wind up in the states after it's over. If they have any med cruises and that's what I choose, I'll still go a few days early and wind up back in the states after I get off the plane.

Ah, it sure does have to get over here. Wish we had time to go on a TA.
