AARP "Gift card" - Know What you are buying

[bob7judy]

Has anyone been successful in adding them to a paid-off cruise to use as OBC? I thought I would add mine but was told you have to do it on-board.

Carnival no longer takes prepayment for OBC. You will have to apply them to your S & S card once onboard.

I've read this over twice and just want to clarify before I buy the Carnival gift cards from AARP....I know I'm being dense but just making sure I am reading right.

 

1. I booked through a TA and already paid my deposit. Can I pay the balance of my cruise with the gift cards?

 

2. If I prepurchase shore excursions from the carnival website, can I pay for those with the cards?

 

3. Cani use these onboard for money to pay for my cabin bill including gratuities?

 

Thanks...I know DH will ask me again and again!

I believe the answer is yes to all questions. Someone who have actually used them will come on to let you know for sure. I called my TA and he said I could pay off my cruise with gift cards...not the gift certificates though.

I've done all 3 with my Carnival Gift card I purchased from Verizon which is the same AARP.
