Carnival Gift Cards

[FOXYDEBBY]

Forgive me if this topic has already been addressed but I couldn't find an answer to my specific question. I have one carnival gift card and would like to purchase more prior to paying off my cruise. The fine print on the gift card (e-gift card from Allstate) says the cruise has to be booked through the cruise line. I did my down payment through a travel agent (vac-2-go). Can I use the gift cards to make final payment by giving them the number or am I out of luck? I tried to input the number on carnival website but it said I had to do everything through a travel agent. Don't want to buy another $1000 worth if I can't use it now. Thanks for any help you can give me.

My TA told me to just give her the cards and she would make the payments for me

(err, well not the actual cards, just the numbers)

Thank you!!! I need to spend a certain amount of money to get points on a credit card so I thought this would be a great way. Just didn't want to be stuck with $1000 worth of gift cards I can't use yet and still have to spend on the credit card. This just solved a multitude of problems. Enjoy your evening.

I booked through a TA with a credit card for the deposit, then bought Carnival gift cards through aarp to pay off the balance. I just had to submit the card number, the security code and amount to my TA and she got everything processed for me with no trouble. Easy peasy!
