ScottsSweetie Posted August 24, 2016 #101 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Carnival should give out the Fire 7 tablets from Amazon. You can buy the tablet for $50 on Amazon. I bet if Carnival ordered a huge amount, Amazon would be willing to loss lead them for about $15-20 apiece just to get hundreds of thousands of people into their ecosystem. Now that would be a stellar gift. I can't believe they are spending more than $5 a person (if that) on the loyalty gifts. Some have to be much less (the collapsible cooler - maybe $2 in bulk). I don't see them spending $15-$20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsSweetie Posted August 24, 2016 #105 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I can promise you that the visor is no more than $3 in bulk. And you think they'll increase that to $15-$20 for a tablet? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a link for the same visors on another site that listed them in huge bulks in the $10 - $12 dollar range. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave76310 Posted August 24, 2016 #107 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) I just happened to be looking at a site like that...how could you possibly not love such a fine product! :p It floats and "ant-fungal" too! :eek: "It floats, it's stylish and it's fun. This visor, made from a material similar to a popular fashion clog, is the durable visor to wear at the beach or anywhere, even in the rain because it's waterproof. Perfect for getting your message across with your customized logo. Features an adjustable strap that fits all sizes. Made out of ant-fungal material that can be cleaned with water and soap. Price includes a four color Imprint, one location. Additional locations are an added cost. Please call for more details."

Thorncroft Posted August 24, 2016 #109 Share Posted August 24, 2016 And you think they'll increase that to $15-$20 for a tablet? :confused: No. I don't think they would. I was just throwing that out there as an alternative gift idea that I'm sure would create a buzz. Actually, I think that after visorgate, Carnival may decide to just discontinue the gifts altogether. By now they realize that their ships are full of ungrateful tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I had not thought it to be that much (prob more in the line of 50K), let's assume that it knocks the discount down by 15% (you can't make it all up in volume) so, it gets down to the 8.50 to 11.20 range...... still way up from a buck or two.

When everybody is special, nobody is special. Look for plats to lose benefits in the next generation of loyalty perks.

Dave & Mel Posted August 24, 2016 #115 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I asked John Heald today (24 Aug) on FaceBook what the October gift was going to be and he said that it has not been announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivermist19 Posted August 24, 2016 #116 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I just opened my monthly newsletter from Carnival and there was a picture of those visors stating they are our gift. Glad they are waterproof because we are cruising to the Bahamas this weekend. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud666 Posted August 24, 2016 #117 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Nothing like wearing plastic on you head under the tropical sun. Carnival keeps cutting back ...taking away the chocolate candy with the turn down service and now rewarding our loyalty with this junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop spreading that rumor. It is a choice you can request without issue. Just ask! Taking away means it no longer can happen. Not true.

JinxyB Posted August 24, 2016 #119 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I thought those visors were a joke when I saw someone post them on a FB page I belong to...surely no one would wear those, right?! Those Nike ball caps they were giving out were much better than these Croc visors. I sailed on the Magic a few weeks ago and luckily got a Tervis tumbler that is much appreciated. Sailing on Vista in Dec and hope they have a new gift by then. If not, i will give the visor to my son and he can wear it or use it to dress his stuffed animals up in!
