sandtfromwv Posted September 3, 2015 #876 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi! Could someone tell me if there are restrictions on the Carnival gift cards? I haven't seen those, but I looked at the ones for Royal Caribbean and saw this: "10. Certificate cannot be applied to existing reservations and can only be used towards a new cruise booking. 11. This certificate cannot be applied to ship-board credit, excursions, or gratuities." Or are the Carnival cards different and just typical gift cards that can be used like cash? Thanks.

RecoveryDude Posted September 3, 2015 #877 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The carnival ones are not like that. They are "gift cards" and can be used (like cash) for ANYTHING, including paying off your cruise balance, or adding credit to your sail and sign account while onboard. Get em while you can, they sell out SUPER FAST! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994te Posted September 3, 2015 #878 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Be careful because sometimes the carnival offer is a certificate and not the gift cards. The certificates have very similar restrictions like the one you posted from royal Caribbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbluvstocruz Posted September 3, 2015 #880 Share Posted September 3, 2015 My $500 card finally shows shipped. I ordered on 8/21. So, for anyone else still waiting, hopefully we'll get them soon. :D I'm also wondering if this means they are back in stock and might become available again soon. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebears Posted September 3, 2015 #881 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just received a call yesterday to confirm my gift card purchase bought 8/20, they said it could take 15 more days to receive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam73 Posted September 4, 2015 #882 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Got my cards today. I went online to my booking. I applied the cards but they are not working. Shows the balances on the cards but they are not applied to my balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare death_star Posted September 4, 2015 #883 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Got my cards today. I went online to my booking. I applied the cards but they are not working. Shows the balances on the cards but they are not applied to my balance. I'm hoping mine come today too. Ordered about the same time as you and same thing with no confirmation but saying shipped on the site. They'd better be here by tomorrow since I sail Sunday!!!

jerrya72 Posted September 4, 2015 #884 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I got some yesterday and was able to use them to pay. There was a place to enter the payment, I added 300 and then there was a button to apply gift card that I had to use 3 times, once for each card. My $500 that I ordered on the 21st should be delivered today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VacationCharlene Posted September 4, 2015 #887 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I ordered my one $100 Carnival gift card thru Verizon on August 29th and got it yesterday..September 3rd in the mail!

lovebears Posted September 9, 2015 #891 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I received my cards today that were purchased Aug 21, I tried to check the gift card balance to make sure all is good and it tells me invalid pin#. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7786W Flyer Posted September 9, 2015 #892 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I received my cards today that were purchased Aug 21, I tried to check the gift card balance to make sure all is good and it tells me invalid pin#. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help! It's a Carnival programming issue...and they've been made aware. In the meantime, there is a work-around. Make a mock booking (or act like you're going to make a payment on an existing booking) and when it comes time to make a payment, click on the "Use A Carnival Gift Card" payment option. From there, you're given the opportunity to check the balance on a gift card without entering the PIN #. You can also mimic the purchase of a shore excursion to get to the "Check Gift Card Balance" link Hope this makes sense. Garnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galleon1234 Posted September 9, 2015 #894 Share Posted September 9, 2015 So Verizon sells gift cards for Carnival? and you save 10%? I am interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbluvstocruz Posted September 11, 2015 #895 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I FINALLY got my $500 card that I ordered on 8/21. My Dec 6 Pride cruise is now paid off. Now to grab some for our Thanksgiving 2016 Sunshine cruise....and S & S cards! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galleon1234 Posted September 11, 2015 #896 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Please post when the Verizon Carnival Gift cards are available again! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted September 11, 2015 #897 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Please post when the Verizon Carnival Gift cards are available again!Thanks so much! Just a suggestion, make sure you are subscribed to this thread with instant email notification, so when someone does post that they are available you will get a heads up on when to go out to the Verizon site. It has helped me tremendously, and I have been able to secure quite a few cards over the last 6 months for 3 different cruises this year. As soon as I see the email with this thread title I pretty much know they are available at that time. But good luck on grabbing some they are so worth the savings!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflyingbuttress Posted September 11, 2015 #898 Share Posted September 11, 2015 And people don't always update this thread. I'm subscribed to this but the other day I learned they were available when I looked at the forum and someone had started a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galleon1234 Posted September 11, 2015 #899 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So happy to have heard about these. I am for sure signed up to receive the updates to this thread. Can't wait for them to return. I am assuming that you can use your Carnival cc card to buy them too. Does it still qualify for double points on the Carnival card? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
