chocolate melting cake Posted May 2, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) No, you'd only get 50% off on your 50th Carnival cruise. We became diamond years ago and there was no 50% off benefit at that time either. The closest comp to that would be no charge for a 3rd or 4th guest accompanying you.

The 50% off a cruise is what you get once you get to your 50th Milestone cruise. The Diamond perks are a one time Free stateroom upgrade OR free 3rd, 4th, 5th guest! You also get a complimentary Steakhouse dinner which is also a one time perk. Edited May 2, 2020 by Jamman54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted May 2, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So the free upgrade is from say ov to balcony? Not a fake upgrade like from a 8A to 8B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tandemcruzr Posted May 2, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) We are booked for our 50th cruise on the Radience in November (hope, hope, hope). Our understanding that is we get an OBC worth 50% of our fare. Right or wrong? (Doesn't have any relation to being Diamond.)

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 2, 2020 #14 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Always a good idea to use it on a more expensive cruise. I used mine on our Splendor Hawaii cruise. That was a nice chunk of obc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Vette Posted May 3, 2020 #17 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I understand you get 50% obc on the basic fare, but is this for the total basic fare of the booked cabin? There will be 2 of us in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be 2 of us in the cabin. For the person redeeming only, both of you would have to use your benefit to get the obc of both fares. That's why I said above good time to book solo cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be 2 of us in the cabin. It’s per person, not per cabin. Of course it could be 50% off the booked cabin if it was the 50th cruise for both of you. Also, as previously mentioned, you don’t have the use the OBC on your 50th cruise. It is best to use it on a longer, more expensive cruises in my opinion, since that will result in a higher OBC.

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 3, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Here is the Milestone info..... GUEST RECOGNITION - MILESTONE REWARDS PROGRAM As part of Carnival’s Guest Recognition Program, Milestone Rewards was developed in appreciation of longtime Carnival guests. This milestone reward benefit is in addition to the wide range of amenities and privileges that guests already receive as part of the VIFP Club. Milestone Rewards Program denotes a guest’s 25th, 50th 75th and 100th revenue cruise with Carnival. Guests will receive a special Milestone Sail & Sign card on their corresponding Milestone cruise. We want to distinguish guests on their Milestone sailing with a unique card so that we can make his/her Milestone experience extra special and memorable. After this milestone cruise, they will revert to the card that corresponds to their VIFP level. In appreciation for their loyalty, the guest will also be granted the opportunity to redeem a future non-refundable onboard credit equivalent to 25%, 50% or 75% of the cruise ticket price, corresponding to the milestone reached. And when a guest reaches his/her 100th cruise, will qualify for a FREE Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska or Australia cruise of their choice (8 days or less, for 2 guests), in accommodations up to and including Ocean Suites (category OS/OT). This onboard credit may be applied to any future cruise in accordance with the terms and conditions below. If you have questions regarding your Milestone rewards, please contact our Milestone's Desk at 877-CCL-VIPS.Terms and Conditions (in fine print on the bottom of the Milestone letter) Milestone Reward is valid for its stated value in U.S. dollars, only on Carnival Cruise Line and/or Carnival Australia cruise booking, to be used as a credit on board a ship.

Roger88 Posted May 3, 2020 #21 Share Posted May 3, 2020 It was a story told by my grandfather many years ago. At the beginning of operation they were not sure that they will get a needed attention as they were desperate to spend money on commercials. It was a kind of promotional event which was one of a kind. Not sure its true though. Especially today it cannot be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your 25th cruise you get 25% of the cruise cost in OBC. I have done that. I'm almost to the 50%. 🙂 Also, the same is for when you get to 75th cruise. On your 100th I believe it's a free cruise.
