firemanbobswife Posted November 17, 2020 #177 Share Posted November 17, 2020 As a Platinum, I got the offer. I'm not planning on booking anymore cruises since the last 2 were canceled until I know how all this is going to pan out. If I could give my offer to someone who wants to actually cruise, I would.

I know we'll agree that the Havana area is the best thing that Carnival had come up with in years, eventhough it was just a reduced variation of what was already available on NCL with the Haven and MSC with the Yacht Club. I learned a long time ago that I don't make the rules, I just play the game. And if this is the game that Carnival wishes to play, it's OK since there are many competitors that will be happy to take my money just as retirement is approaching and my two cruises per year will be increasing. Are you really comparing Havana with The Haven and The Yacht Club? gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Carnival's ship within a ship concept. Obviously no dedicated restaurant, but with the Havana area there are no unruly rug rats that can sometimes inhabitate the Haven or Yacht Club at certain times of the year. Haven is out of my price range, but I do have first hand experience on the Seaside's Yacht Club as well as the Havana area on two Horizon sailings.

crzndeb Posted November 17, 2020 #181 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) To get back to the subject of this thread ( hint hint), I just received a second email for the Cheers package. Just an FYI, either do a mock booking and see if the option comes up in your booking choices, or double check you junk mail. Also, this last email came from Carnival Players Club (I’ve never spent a cent in the casino), and the first came from Carnival Cruise Line, but both emails had same rate code of RU2.

If carnival doesnt care about getting my business it's ok. On the plus side, maybe my price during hurricane season next year will fall and I still have early saver protection.

I don’t think I am either. I am Diamond, and just did the Splendor 24 night to Singapore last Oct. I get an interior cabin and don’t spend much money onboard. I don’t have anything booked with Carnival, and don’t plan to, unless the Celebration does a TA. Go figure! Life goes on 🍸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, got the offer from Carnival and booked an 8 day for 11/2021. We never bought Cheers pkg before so we are excited! Today, got the offer again from Players Club. Certainly no high roller. Just the occasional slot machine 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey stranger! Got you beat, we are at 6 cancellations so far (one the day after the no sail went in place) and one the first week in February in the cross hairs (Mardi Gras 1st sailing - again...and again....and again).......being a lowly diamond, we got nothing.

Mom really wants to go but it's just too much stress playing the guessing game.

The only plus of Carnival's Havana is the 12+ age requirement. I also inferred that Gary thought the Haven and Yacht Club were a step above Havana since those areas checked off many more boxes as to what was included.

stellarose Posted November 18, 2020 #194 Share Posted November 18, 2020 all I know is have never done a spa room (which we are trying on MG) and we now scored the drink package for the nominal fee added. Again, after the year and more that we , as teachers, have endured - I deserve it. WE ALL deserve to sail again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of "free alcohol". Hence why Carnival is running said campaign. In the end, many people might save a hundred or two. If you advertised $200 off, the response would be "meh". But instead, advertise alcohol, and people LOSE THEIR MINDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted November 18, 2020 #198 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I looked at the deal as peace of mind- booze/ water / soda/ coffee without any worry about did I get my daily allotment to break even? what will my bill be at the end. This why I choose all inclusive resorts more than cruising . no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 6th I started booking further out. Next up april 25th. I feel confident I will be vaccinated by then, but I keep reading people saying april is toast. It's my best deal, I'll be so disappointed if cancelled. I dont care if I have to wear a mask 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
