hfweather Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I received a great postcard offer today from Carnival. If I book by 1-31 I will be a platinum (one sailing only, I'm currently red), 100.00 off fare and 100 OBC, plus 25.00 Casino Cash. We were going to book on RCCL, but this may be too good to pass up. If I can just talk the Mrs into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted January 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2014 To be sure how good the deal is would look up current pricing on website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS95 Posted January 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2014 omg, is this legit?? Im ticked because I just found out with the new points system, that Im going from GOLD back to RED and you are gonna get promoted from RED to PLATINUM. Thats bull crap. Not upset with you, just venting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted January 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) This does not sound like a legitimate offer, far too good to be true. I smell spam. Red to Platinum is a minimum of 50 sailing days. If it is legitimate though, you should not pass it up.

Rare pirate4me2 Posted January 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm thinking they are making you Platnium only for the cruise you book. I would call Carnival to verify the offer. If you choose to book, have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted January 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2014 And if it turns out to be true, someone figure out how the rest of us reds get in on this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted January 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I just got a postcard from Royal saying I would be platinum after one more cruise. Not sure if that is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfweather Posted January 13, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sorry, if I wasn't clear. The platinum is for this cruise only provided I book by 01-31. I'm thinking of doing it. The post card had John Heald and my PVPs name on it. I just got off the phone with him and as long as I sail by 08-31 its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinPrincessMermaids Posted January 13, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I got a three fold post card too with incentives to book by 1/31. Anyone that wants can dig thru my trash for it. :D Edited January 13, 2014 by TwinPrincessMermaids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asalligo Posted January 13, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Interesting, platinum for one cruise. I would really have to think about that one and whether it was worth it. Certainly might sway me if I was cruising anyway during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerReuv Posted January 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also got one of those. But here is the funny part. The flyer quotes a couple of difference cruises and my husband got one and my son got one (he went on his first cruise this past May with a friend). We both got the platinum for one cruise but the pricing on his offer was about $50 less per cruise than ours? But, we both got the some $ off and $ OBC. Go figure!

You probably got different offers because they are testing different offers to see which produce the best returns. They just didn't mean to send differing offers to the same household. My spouse and I often get catalogs on the same day from the same company with different offers emblazoned on the front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrieluvsgreg Posted January 14, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My understanding is that once Gold you remain Gold. You don't drop back to Red. (sorry for the Hijack) I'm not sure that is the case... With the "old system" you turned gold in your second sailing, there were no red cards. With the new system, you have to have accumulated 25 days at sea to remain gold. So, if it's been a while since you've sailed, you could've been gold and now will be red...

Sammycupcaker Posted January 14, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That beats my great deals which were $8 less pp than more=merrier rate and &$40 obc. Plus $50 GC if I used a MasterCard. I booked anyway because we were looking to take a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
