senoritafrog Posted March 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Has anyone ever been given a $160 shore excursion credit to use on board for booking a cruise from Carnival? If so, can you use it on anything other then shore excursions? I was told you can by my travel agent but I just want to confirm??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzMelissa26 Posted March 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I was told by my PVP its only for excursions. I think it also shore excursuon credit on my docs. .. not 100% sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted March 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My agent said for use on board only for Shore Excursions, when I look at my booking details and print the general information, it is listed and OBC for Shore Excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookcreator Posted March 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Has anyone ever been given a $160 shore excursion credit to use on board for booking a cruise from Carnival? If so, can you use it on anything other then shore excursions? I was told you can by my travel agent but I just want to confirm??? We have cruised with this and have 4 more cruises coming up with it. $160 is for excursions only, use it or lose it. It is segmented away from any other credit on your S&S bill. For us, we book all Carnival excursions online before we get on the ship. We had to hold off and book one of them to use the credit on the ship - it doesn't cover pre booked excursions online. We ended up only using $149 of it, and the rest was lost. If you go over, you are just charged the difference. It cannot be used for anything else but excursions, it can be used for the Behind the fun tour though as that is considered an excursion.

phxbbw6ft1 Posted March 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have this to- Just seen it, because I just printed my documents. I already paid for my excursions. I was going to use this for a massage. ***??? What do I do? I already prepaid for all excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvpends Posted March 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have this same problem. Do I have to cancel some of our excursions to use this credit? Or can they be canceled an rebooked on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxbbw6ft1 Posted March 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I cancelled one of our booked excursions online. I'll rebook it when we get on the ship:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted March 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can only be used for excursions booked on board. Read policy on cancellation, cancel booked excusrions once you board and rebook. Not sure Spa is considered an excurions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Forums mobile app It was a promotion that was offered when I booked. Basically, I paid $80 and got a $160 onboard credit. ( I thought it was a onboard credit for anything, but it's not) It never said excursion credit only until I printed out my documents. melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin chef Posted March 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We thought we booked this but as it was our first time booking we didn't. Called today to figure it out and instead paid $10.00 more and got $90.00 in regular obc. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eventually took a different offer though, but now that I think about it, I should have kept the OBC offer. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybeebee Posted March 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi! We ars leaving on the Valor in three days and figure out how this works. We wre told it was only valid for excursions booked on the ship. Well, we've been watching and 3 of the excursions we were interested in have already sold out. Has any one else had this problem? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsd912 Posted March 27, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I was hoping this credit could be used for the Steakhouse or spa services. :( We've already prebooked our shore excursions and some of them currently have less than ten tickets left. I'm not willing to worth risking losing out on the excursion. Oh well, we'll still have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna529 Posted March 27, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm having a problem with this too. The excursions we want are already sold out. I'm thinking about calling to see if I can change my promotion I booked under and get regular OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Forums mobile app I would still go to the excursions desk when I got onboard first thing and just see what was available. People cancel, change their minds, sometimes they add space if it's very popular. At least try. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Forums mobile app Darn. For me, it's $480 down the drain because I have three cabins booked. I already booked our excursions, plus I can imagine that the shore excursions desk will have a riot going on if I try to go there what with all the people trying to use their credit. If we could book the excursions in advance and use it to pay for them it would make much more sense. The last thing I want to do on-board is spend time fighting with an angry mob over the few spots left on excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for us we have FTTF and don't have anything booked for two of our ports. Maybe we'll swing by the excursion desk first thing and see if a beach trip is available at either port.

I guess I will swing by first thing since we have FTTF also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
