jenng1976 Posted April 23, 2015 #26 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I got the offer as well. I wonder if these rates through this promo have price protection. The dates I am interested in are 5 months away....so I was hoping for the price protection. Also, if you booked b2b what kind of deposit are you looking at. (Is it a percentage of the total fare?) You could book Early Saver, then immediately price match to this offer. The. You have the best of both worlds. Checked all of our accounts, and nada. Still happy to have my Havana Cabana booked on the Vista :) Have any Canadians here received any kind of offer? I'm Canadian and got this offer, but my husband and parents didn't. Tempting, but we already are going on a Hawaiian Disney cruise in Sept and a 4 night Carnival in Dec, so can't squeeze in another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentinebaby1 Posted April 23, 2015 #27 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hubby got the offer, but I didn't. But that doesn't surprise me since for our previous cruise and our upcoming cruise they were both booked online under his name first and me second. I so wish this offer extended into April 2016...we have our cruise coming up in Sept so Jan is really soon for us to do another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted April 23, 2015 #28 Share Posted April 23, 2015 a minimum purchase of category 4A is required. Which is a higher category, 4A or 4B? In other words, does a 4B meet the "minimum purchase of category 4A" condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singer4Him Posted April 24, 2015 #31 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I will say, this is the 3rd VIFP offer I've gotten since I booked with a PVP. I have no idea if that has anything to do with it, but all my other bookings have been done either on my own or using a TA, and I never got anything other than that lame 2 category upgrade thing. Is a PVP when you call and speak with someone at Carnival to book your cruise? We've always booked through a TA. She's wonderful and even helped us get a great OBC from a price drop a couple of cruises ago but this has my curiosity up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's wonderful and even helped us get a great OBC from a price drop a couple of cruises ago but this has my curiosity up. You normally call and speak to a customer service rep. You probably have a PVP even if you've never used him/her. You can call Carnival and tell them you want a PVP and they will patch you through to one. Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to recommend anyone by name on this board. I use a TA too. Just the booking I have for 2016, I wound up booking with a PVP recommended to me. No complaints from either way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arubanut Posted April 24, 2015 #34 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) My Wife got the offer(not me) on her account... Looks like some great deals!!!! October Dream 10days 6 ports 3xx inside/5xx balcony. Would not think I need price protection on that, would I? Wish I was retired and did not have to worry about vacation days :) Edited April 24, 2015 by arubanut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc1177 Posted June 4, 2015 #35 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Just found our AMAZING deal 2 days ago!! We booked an inside for 2 for $75 a each with a $150 OBC in December!!! I would prefer to have a balcony but how can I pass on a basically free cruise for 10 days?? If money allows after our October Breeze Cruise I'll see about upgrading. Just blown away with this offer!! I love Carnival!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just blown away with this offer!! I love Carnival!!!! I have a 21 day B2B on the Glory booked and the fares seem to be escalating. 1st Leg Ports are: Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Antigua, Martinique, St Lucia, St Kitts, St Thomas and San Juan. 2nd leg has St Croix, St Maarten, Dominica, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba and Curacao. There's a total of 5 sea days I think between the 2 legs. Starts and ends in Miami, so quick, easy air from NY. But what is better? Paying a higher fare and then getting price breaks? Or paying a lower fare and watching it go higher? Granted, it comes down to cost per person per day, so I get screwed on Carnival by cruising solo.

islandatsea Posted June 5, 2015 #40 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Only thing we have now is the Past Guest 2 category upgrade for about the past month or more. Before that we had the Vista Platinum $200 OBC offer for Europe. Our Journey cruise next year keeps going up in price($894 increase) ever since we booked it back last December. Thankful we booked it as soon as the cruise became available to buy. Seems to be a very popular cruise so we know no price drops for us but that is ok since we did pay the cheapest price.

A friend of mine received this as well. It says it's for new bookings. We've been booked for a year. Has anyone tried/had luck receiving the offer (or at least the OBC) if you're already booked?

My DW has this offer. I do not. When booking we have to use here VIFP number and the price is lower and it shows $100. Make sure you are using the right VIFP number.

Sherman793 Posted June 19, 2015 #43 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We will be on the second leg of your B2B joining in San Juan. We are very excited, we also got the offer. I have not sailed Carnival in quite a few years. We mostly sail Royal now as you can see in my signature. We booked a balcony and the entire cost was $1000 with a $150.00 OBC. We cancelled our Oasis cruise at the end of October we had booked and saved $1400.00 and went to a 10 day cruise! What a deal!!! We are super happy with the itinerary too!! Can't wait to go!!! I think it was totally random that we got the offer. I assumed it was because we had not sailed with them in so long, but it appears that it is random.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
