jujaja Posted October 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Both myself and my husband are Platinum, over the age of 55, neither of us are veterans and we both live in the same state, obviously. I have a few more Cruises than he does and I gamble in the casino while he does not. Why is Carnival showing room rates using his VIFP number about $30-50 Per person cheaper than when I use mine, for the exact same room Type? Makes no sense, shouldn”t I get a beter rate since I also spend money in the casino, all things considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that anyone here would have the answer for you. All we can do is speculate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennas_mum Posted October 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Happens all the time. He must have an offer than you do not. When we cruise I always check everyones VIFP number and the majority of the time one is cheaper. Usually though it is me as I get casino offers and DH does not. You never know though in a few more days you may have something even cheaper. Donna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmoney Posted October 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2019 i would try and get in contact with the Oceans players club and see if they have any offers for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted October 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2019 My husband receives many of the same casino offers, but he does not receive nearly as much casino cash, sometimes none, as I do. His cabin rates aren't as cheap as mine either. I play slots and he plays table games, although he always gives his card to the pit boss. So, we book the casino offers in my name to receive the best cabin rates and most casino cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted October 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Call up Carnival or your travel agent. they should be able to adjust your booking to the lower price. I noticed the same thing for my cruise in May and they were able to adjust it without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted October 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2019 if he is older than you or military/former military, he may qualify for a different rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlyr22 Posted October 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm the cruiser in the family and travel either solo or with my husband or sister. In the last month, on three different cruise lines, my sister and husband have received really good offers, while I've received none. And I have priority with all three lines. I figure the cruise lines are targeting less frequent cruisers because they figure the regular cruisers don't need the incentive of a better rate to cruise...

ksmcdonald Posted October 22, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 22, 2019 If you are checking prices on the Carnival website, it will automatically remember the last VIFP Club number or Past Guest number that has been entered. Your computer's cookies does this automatically, not Carnival. I change the Past Guest number back and forth from mine to my husbands to see which one has the better deals. It is on the screen that says "Tell Us About Yourself" while booking. If no number is put in, then you will not get any discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
