Booking future cruises on current cruise

[ArkTraveler82]

We're going on our 3rd cruise with Carnival this October. We've never booked a future cruise on the ship before but since we've already determined which cruise we're taking next year, we thought we would go ahead and book on board in order to receive $100 in OBC. For our upcoming cruise, we'll for sure have $400 in OBC and I'm hoping a little more if we're able to get some credits from Early Saver rate reductions. We always book our excursions before sailing, we've prepaid gratuities and we don't drink a whole lot so I was wondering if we have a remaining credit, can it be used towards the deposit on our next cruise?

Thanks so much!

You will have to give them a credit card to book it. It does not go on your sign and sail account. Also keep in mind if they have other promotions you may not be able to get early saver for your next cruise and then price reductions do not count. Be sure to ask about that if there is extra OBC offered.

Ok, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I love Early Saver rates and would hate to miss out on the potential to save a few bucks.

Thanks!

You can always get the OBC out as cash through the casino slot machine. It works for now but I am sure Carnival will fine a way to stop that soon.

You can get the "refundable" OBC out at the kiosks too. And I too like the extra OBC by booking onboard. Just make sure you have all the information ready when you get to the FCD (cruise, date, rate type, cabin).

I've heard about the kiosks but had forgotten all about them and I've never used them so wasn't aware yoy could do more than check your sign and sail account balance. That's an easy way to use the credit. Thank you, great idea!
