tree.critter Posted February 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I am approaching my first Milestone cruise and am wondering if I will be able to use the 25% OBC on a future cruise that is already booked. Currently the Celebration inaugural ta cruise is #25 as it sits now. I would happily book a nice short cruise prior to make that one #26 if I could get the OBC . I booked a suite for the first time and is the highest price we are ever likely to spend for a cruise, would be nice to have that OBC for that one.

75Vette Posted February 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2021 My TA tells me I need to complete #50 before getting milestone credit. I was told I was not eligible for the credit until #51. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingships Posted February 4, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I chose which cruise to use the OBC on for my 25th Milestone. It doesnt have to be the very next one. I think it was about my 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanieTheMom Posted February 4, 2021 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I talked to my PVP about using mine on a cruise that had already been booked. He said it was no problem. However, that cruise was canceled, sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used ours on our 50th cruise which was to Hawaii. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree.critter Posted February 4, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks for the help, I am super happy to be able to use on already booked cruise. I will defintely book a short cruise so that I will be eligible to use it on #26. The #25 cruise you get a white card but that OBC is the real perk for milestone as far as I can see.

75Vette Posted February 4, 2021 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks Jamman54. I always enjoy your posts. You are so knowledgeable when it comes to any subject on Carnival Cruise Lines. We are also planning on going to Hawaii also after we reach #50. Would have already been if it had not been for so many cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicia Posted February 5, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2021 We used both of our 25th Milestone benefits on our 25th cruise and it was already booked. You don't add it on until closer to sailing and won't see the OBC until about 2 days prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted February 5, 2021 #14 Share Posted February 5, 2021 You don't see the OBC until about 2 days before, because price matches on Early Saver can occur up until that point, and the OBC is based on the price you paid (before taxes, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted February 5, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If the credit is on the price you paid, it probably would not be worth it to use it on a cruise that was covered mostly by FFC, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this cruise we just booked it as soon as the date opened, no FCC on this one. Already used up our FCC on other bookings. We are so eager to cruise.

Wanted to add that I got invited to a special captains party. Such great foods, not what you see elsewhere. Huge shrimp cocktail and other delectable treats, though seemed like few ate. Mostly attending were higher up brass I got to meet. Maybe 30 or 35 total and at most 10 of us were pax, the rest were higher up officers. Really nice party. If you get a special party invite be sure and go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrucern Posted March 14, 2021 #19 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) We used our milestone on the 26th cruise (you also get a white S&S card with milestone on it) it was to Alaska. We did not need to both use our milestone could have used my husbands on another cruise however since Alaska's cruising and shore excursions were so expensive compared to Caribbean cruises we went with it and received a $1200 OBC which more than paid for what we wanted.

I keep hearing do another cruiseline to alaska. I loved my carnival cruise to alaska with a naturalist onboard who would tell us the night before what to watch for. Please before I get those who feel they have to pitch other lines ... of course I'm aware others also do this. It was my favorite cruise and was on carnival. Good choice for a milestone cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
