cruisinfanatic Posted January 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Getting old. No matter how many times you tell him to stop, a month later he's calling home and cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJinFLA00 Posted January 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I guess we're lucky. I've had the same PVP for about 6 years. The only time she calls is to say "Bon Voyage" right before we cruise.

cruisinfanatic Posted January 21, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've never spoken a word to him about any cruise. Just starts calling a few months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted January 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This will help: 1. Caller ID 2. Voicemail Probably not what has caused your calls but I've noticed that mine calls every time I browse the Carnival website when logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will stop the calls, though: change your phone number on your account I have read some people put the Carnival number in!

Cruisin'Allie Posted January 21, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Mine called me all the time too. I finally booked thru him a few years ago and when I emailed with a question, he never responded.... Unfortunately, he stopped working for the company and someone else got my number. She calls within 5 minutes of my logging in. It's aggravating but if I'm not signed in, I won't see the best prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie&clydecruzers Posted January 21, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Same thing here. Logged in a few weeks ago to see Special offers and then started to browse cruises. A day later I get a phone call from a PVP. Hasn't stopped calling every few days for the last 3 weeks. I just let it go to VM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Dutch Girl Posted January 21, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm not sure if this exists on the Carnival website and I don't want to register to check it out...but check on your profile if there are areas, oftentimes obscure, where a pre-checked box says something like "can Carnival call you". Just uncheck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMBRERO6 Posted January 21, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Is his name Matt? I had those same irritating calls and no matter how nice or rude I was to him he kept calling, I finally told him I would file harassment charges against him if he didn't stop. He stopped!

rene194215 Posted January 22, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Funny because my former PVP would get back to me in a timely manor and then there was a situation about a refund and since then I can email, call a million times and he will not answer me back. I know he is still with the company. I just call in now and get who I get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted January 22, 2015 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Does the calls bother you that much? I get calls every so often but it does not really bother me. So times I do not answer other times I just chat with him. Edited January 22, 2015 by Purvis1231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser fanatic Posted January 22, 2015 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Do not log in on Carnival.com. I have heard several times that when you log in a message pops up on the PVP's computer and it will not go away until they call or email you.

sandij Posted January 22, 2015 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I used to get them too whenever I logged into the Carnival website, I finally just told them I had a TA and to stop calling and they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
