YankeeFan4Ever Posted September 9, 2013 #427 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm guessing they'll announce that the Carnival Vista will be based in New York to compete with Norwegian Breakaway and RCL Quantum of the Seas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlybice Posted September 9, 2013 #429 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm guessing they'll announce that the Carnival Vista will be based in New York to compete with Norwegian Breakaway and RCL Quantum of the Seas. :) If they were to compete, they'd have to create a new line, like Carnival Gold, Carnival of Old, or Carnival Premium.

sturderick Posted September 9, 2013 #433 Share Posted September 9, 2013 It isn't good at all for the cruiser. This just means the ships will be filling up with TA's making rooms harder to come by. Crud, I was hoping for something a lot better than that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinPrincessMermaids Posted September 9, 2013 #435 Share Posted September 9, 2013 so that is the big news? TAs get to sample the 'fun' for 'free'? ok... major yawn fest there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted September 9, 2013 #436 Share Posted September 9, 2013 How is this good news for the cruiser? As I understand it the original pre-announcement was directed solely to TA's. Now we know why. (I do not recall seeing anything that suggested that this would be good news for all cruisers, other than the speculation that occurred here.)

sylantbob Posted September 9, 2013 #438 Share Posted September 9, 2013 So if the price drops to free can i get a onboard credit because i did early saver :) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny13840 Posted September 9, 2013 #439 Share Posted September 9, 2013 It probably has to do something about deals or maybe about early savers? Remember its the sales team announcing it so it has to be something regarding sales duh! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever said it was going to be for the public and it was announced only to TA's so it makes sense that it is something for TA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted September 9, 2013 #441 Share Posted September 9, 2013 CRAP! Don't like that! There goes my chance of trying to get a last minute upgrade at a bargain price. Now a TA will get one of the suites remaining on my cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watertrips Posted September 9, 2013 #442 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Also found a new Hidden Treasures Promo Code posted on the goccl.com site; all good stuff for TA's.

!!SAM!! Posted September 9, 2013 #446 Share Posted September 9, 2013 CRAP! Don't like that! There goes my chance of trying to get a last minute upgrade at a bargain price. Now a TA will get one of the suites remaining on my cruise! And the travel agents will still bad mouth Carnival!! Even back when you had to book a cruise thru a travel agent they use to try and discourage people from cruising Carnival. I know this because I went thru several travel agents in the 80's and early 90's trying to find one that would book Carnival. I was so happy when Carnival started letting everyone book their own cruise directly thru them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted September 9, 2013 #447 Share Posted September 9, 2013 As I understand it the original pre-announcement was directed solely to TA's. Now we know why. (I do not recall seeing anything that suggested that this would be good news for all cruisers, other than the speculation that occurred here.) True. I just think this is so lame though. Instead of trying a new approach, listening to passengers and trying to make a few tweaks to entice people to cruise the line, they are now bribing the TA's to encourage their customers to book with CCL. Seriously????:rolleyes: I can't imagine the confusion some (who use a TA) will feel when they talk to a TA who once did everything possible to discourage booking with CCL, now has done a 180.......

sturderick Posted September 9, 2013 #448 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Does this include PVP's? I hope not because I don't want a million calls from several different ones. Mine has dropped off the face of the earth and I keep getting calls from others. I just want ONE and I don't know how to make sure they are a good one :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfan13 Posted September 9, 2013 #449 Share Posted September 9, 2013 This. No one ever said it was going to be for the public and it was announced only to TA's so it makes sense that it is something for TA's. And CC of course :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
