mz-s Posted December 16, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Carnival wants known spenders on their ships right now. Even if it means they give the room away. Enjoy! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted December 17, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We also got the sweet $25 offer, for a 10-day out of Rome next summer. Couldn't believe it, and CAN'T WAIT! We've been to a few of the ports it visits before, but never been to Santorini, Mykonos or Turkey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted December 17, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2021 You don't have to gamble to get the deals. I don't gamble at all and have cruises for $15 being offered and I've only sailed Carnival three times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten816 Posted December 17, 2021 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Booked a $25 cruise for January a couple weeks ago, next day the low prices were gone, wondering if it was only one cruise they were offering it for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you choose a cruise line that does not require masks, pre-testing is still required and it looks like it'll be awhile till you choose to cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingMeadows Posted December 17, 2021 #14 Share Posted December 17, 2021 DH and I booked the more "expensive" Panorama cruise at $150 pp for a balcony. It's like they book themselves!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucfan2 Posted December 17, 2021 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2021 IMO, cruise lines will be right back to giving them away after the holiday rush(??, lol). CC'ers are willing to jump thru these hoops...the general public will tend to be one-n-done w/ so many other options out there (including no mask/spacesuit cruise lines). My opinion only...I tend to follow the $$ (stock/etc), and it tells the story during this so-dreamed 'hi-demand' season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstel Posted December 17, 2021 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I started getting the $25 offers in October. Booked one on the Pride in Oct. Been getting them regularly since. Next batch was to book/sail through December. Then extended to January. Last week we got the $25 offers through March. So I figure in a couple more weeks the $25 April cruises will come out, which I will book since that is my next vacation window. Heck I already have an MSC cruise booked in April and I am just going to move that out till September 2022 (since it is more expensive), so I can grab these $25 deals while they last. Or maybe they will continue indefinitely since arrival of Omicron and who knows what that will do to summer cruising.

I think that once you book a cruise at that low rate, they don't offer it again to you until you have taken the cruise. I had the same happen to me. I booked a $25 cruise for October. The low rates disappeared after that. Since returning, I've been getting the $25 cruise offers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how hard it is to change sailings but if you can get the time off and have if you have two eligible offers, but if you do, consider rebooking to the 10/11 sailing which is the same itinerary out of Rome, then book the next sailing for a B2B which is a 9 night repositioning which ends in Portugal. I tried, I can't get 3 weeks off 10/11 sailing: Tuesday, October 11 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 7:00pm Wednesday, October 12 At Sea Thursday, October 13 At Sea Friday, October 14 Mykonos, Greece 9:00am 6:00pm Saturday, October 15 Izmir, Turkey 7:00am 5:00pm Sunday, October 16 Santorini, Greece 8:00am 5:00pm Monday, October 17 Athens (Piraeus), Greece 6:00am 5:00pm Tuesday, October 18 Olympia (Katakolon), Greece 8:00am 5:00pm Wednesday, October 19 Messina, Sicily, Italy 9:00am 6:00pm Thursday, October 20 Naples, Italy 7:00am 7:00pm Friday, October 21 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 6:00am 10/21 sailing: Friday, October 21 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 7:00pm Saturday, October 22 Naples, Italy 7:00am 7:00pm Sunday, October 23 Messina, Sicily, Italy 8:00am 5:00pm Monday, October 24 Valletta, Malta 8:00am 5:00pm Tuesday, October 25 At Sea Wednesday, October 26 At Sea Thursday, October 27 Malaga, Spain 8:00am 6:00pm Friday, October 28 Gibraltar, UK Territory 7:00am 4:00pm Saturday, October 29 Portimao, Portugal 7:00am 4:00pm Sunday, October 30 Lisbon, Portugal 5:00am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrtx2 Posted December 20, 2021 #25 Share Posted December 20, 2021 ugh, I want the cruise fairies to send me some of these $25 offers, especially Europe.........guess once they saw I was willing to pay more since September and keep booking, they figured no need. I played bingo one time and get Bingo offers, which aren't anything to brag about lol. Oh well, at least I am cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
