cruisingguy007 Posted February 9, 2021 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I don't, but be sure to report any awesome deals that come your way. A lot of us would appreciate it! 😁. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted February 9, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted February 9, 2021 My email source of this info is Carnival Cruise Line <funships@carnivalcruiselineemail.com> I'm sure you can subscribe... and there's gotta be a box to check, somewhere on their website..

RWolver672 Posted February 10, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I get at least five a week. Most of them are casino offers. Some come with free drinks on us, most a reduced deposit, two cat upgrades, etc. Until cruising gets back to normal, we won't even think about booking a cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, reduced deposit... now down to just $50 a person. ANYthing to get some money rolling in! The desperation is obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywest1 Posted February 10, 2021 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I get emails and am also starting to get snail mail offers from Carnival. NCL always sends me a few mailers per year, but it has been rare to get mailers from Carnival. I would love to book a cruise for 2022, but due to DD preexisting condition, I never book without buying insurance immediately. And that ain't cheap 😖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted February 10, 2021 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I get Carnival emails advertising special discounts (spa, excursions, etc.) for my booked (rescheduled) cruises that are now only 420 and 365 days away. Yep, I got the same emails before the original dates were cancelled by the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostwick girl Posted February 11, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I’ve been on 32 Carnival cruises and never get emails. I’m the one who does all the planning, making the reservations, etc. my husband is the one who gets all the emails, usually 3 a week. He just hands his phone to me! I always check the box to send me emails, but never get anything. Guess they know they have my number, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingguy007 Posted February 11, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks for the heads up everyone! Booked Jan 2023 now for Panorama. Got a perfect cabin location for a great price. Pretty sure it's the NFL championship weekend too. We were on Panorama in 2020 for that weekend and it was so much fun. Can't wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHARTWICK Posted February 15, 2021 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yes - I'm getting on average 2-3 a day. Some are offers to be applied to new bookings; others are "your cruise needs your attention" to get me to make a payment on cruises that are 10 months and 22 months away. But I'm getting absolutely nothing from PCL re: my May cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted February 16, 2021 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Continuing to be promote a product they have not been able to deliver for a year and have no idea when they can deliver it. Which is no where mentioned in the ads. Marketing genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a reservation for a cruise in May or June. Once they cancel you will then be eligible for 600 in OBC. Does that fire you up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the uncertainty of the industry and then the proposed restrictive protocols for when or IF cruising resumes?.....no. Not to mention that the raised cost of cruises when or IF they resume, will be far out of the reach of what $600 can cover. BTW.......Norwegian has cancelled all of their May 2021 sailings, I;m sure Carnival will follow shortly.

bitemyfly Posted February 16, 2021 #20 Share Posted February 16, 2021 When one can’t deliver for whatever the reason , a business needs to find a way to keep the product front and center.. also entice some bargain hunters.. it’s marketing 101 .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNJCruisers Posted February 17, 2021 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2021 They are so screwed up in their marketing department. I received similar email promotions on Fri 2/7 and Sat 2/13, with the headlines promoting Cheers and when I clicked through to my offers section of my VIFP account, there was no mention of any Cheers promotion at all. I had gotten the stupid RU9 code back in December and January and then the LU1 code about WiFi, which means nothing to me since I unplug while on vacation. I called into Carnival on Monday, spoke to a CSR and he said he would talk to a supervisor about it and someone in their marketing department and get back to me. Two days later he finally did and said that the marketing department apologized for their mistake but they would be happy to honor the Cheers promotion for me....a RU9 code. I then educated him that it was a joke and if they offered me a RU1, 2 or 3 I would contemplate making another booking, but not with the ridiculous RU9. I then let him know that more than likely Carnival would be in my rear view mirror even though I am getting ready to retire and my vacations per year will be increasing. If this is how they wish to treat Platinum members, it's OK. Their marketing department is more concerned with the blues and reds. Just like Carnival is in my rear view mirror soon, I am already in the rear view mirror of their marketing department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
