Discover Deals Cruise and Vacation Desk?

[freedomcruiser891]

Discover credit card has a 5% cash back promo going on right now and I was curious if anyone has used the cruise and vacation desk site to book a cruise. We or we could call carnival and book to still receive the 5% cash back. The reason I am asking this is with the early saver first dibs promo it says the $50 onboard credit is only for category 4A or higher staterooms but the cruise and vacation desk website gives us the $50 obc with a 1A cabin....

The 5% cash back deal from C&VD has been going on for years. I used it several years ago. If you call carnival directly you will not get the 5%. The cruise must be booked through C&VD.

I use cruise and vacation desk all the time. You have to book with your Discover card. You get the cash back after the cruise. I use my cashback rewards when I book. Depending on the number of days you book, Discover will take $40 and double it to $80 on an interior, $60 and double it to $120 on an OV. or $80 doubled to $160 on a balcony. This comes off the price of your cruise. Best deal I have found so far. I booked a 13 day and they took $100 of my cash back and doubled it to $200 and took it off my cruise. This is all on their website.

Okay great thanks! Also when you book this way will we still get a booking number or way to log in to carnival website to book excursions order Bon voyage etc?

Wish I knew about this a week earlier.

 

Edit: Oceanview rooms are still available on Carnival's website but not available on Cruise & Vacation's website.
