$30 VIFP offer!

[CeleBrat]

Check your VIFP offers. Looks like they are trying to make up for all the cancellations by offering cruises as low as $30. Offer valid for sailings thru April, but I could only find the super cheap rate for Jan.

 

Can’t get time off tosail right now though…

My offers are TERRIBLE right now!  Nothing at all worthwhile...

[mondello]

I booked previous casino offers for Christmas Break, Spring Break, and Summer vacation. Don't know how to squeeze in another one?

I’m not sure this low price cruise strategy is woking for Carnival. Just back Thursday from a 4 Day Sunrise sailing out of Miami.  I can only describe the experience as very “Jerry Springer”.  It was only my third Carnival cruise - my prior experience is with  NCL and RCL.  I’ve never experienced anything like this. While I enjoyed my prior two cruises on Carnival, this was that bad.  I will not be back…

@L1211 Seems the shorter cruises draw a crowd that can only afford to cram their fun into a few days. Just off Sunshine 12/26-12/31 and was kind of surprised with such a large percentage of guests dressed up for Elegant Night. Everybody soft pedals the dress code on Carnival but we had a great group on our 5 day holiday cruise.

I just looked at Los Angeles cruises. Nothing AGAIN …. Not even close to $25 or even $50. Why do I take the bait ?? 🙄🙄

I’m so glad for you. We had quite a few very well behaved children on our cruise, it was holiday time. But experienced three different adult fights/altercations - a first. I had my 21y/o DD with me and was both scared and embarrassed. It sucked the joy out of the experience for sure.

I was a little worried about confrontations over masks but most everyone acted appropriately. Sorry to hear about the ugliness on your cruise. I know there have been times when Security has really had their hands full. We've done a few 5 day cruises but usually book 7 or 8 days.

no good offers for me after the old group expired on Jan 3rd. but i was lucky enough to book 4 out of my 5 that were  free or cheap sailings... my next cruise will be in May, which was a good deal but i did paid for it.. and I hope to get a deal on this one so i save money on this it ..but in a weird way im glad I do not have any new deals right now...I Cant take any time off of work for the next few months.. so no offers takes the temptations away.

Same thing happened in Vegas when they did this to fill rooms. I heard some first hand reports about the conditions on the ground and the low-class atmosphere with some saying it was downright dangerous, even on the strip propper.

We booked our cruise next month under one of those offers. $30 for an interior. We upgraded to a balcony for more, but still less than half of what we'd usually pay for a balcony.

Yep, it was bad!  I'm in Vegas 4-8 times every year.  I had never been afraid for my wife and I's well-being on the Strip until right after they reopened post-covid.  Thankfully, it's gotten a lot better recently though (during the past 6 months).

Forgot to add some of my current offers for a 7-day

Yup! Those rates will bring out the Siegeal suites/the Strat riff-raff for sure (who will most assuredly line up to remove tips as well)...lol. Luckily, my April cruise is during spring break time so rates are a bit higher and hopefully avoid some ghetto cruisers. I'll be sure to check rates when the cruise is closer to look for huge drops. May be a sign to bail but I expect more families so things should (theoretically) be a bit calmer and less problematic. Thanks for the heads up!

Our 3 rd carnival cruise was like that too . It made us jump  to celebrity.. We came back to carnival because we had teenage grandsons going. Only reason i have another carnival booked for august. I was actually on the cheerleading squad for a bit..

[claimee]

Do these actually work for anyone?  Mine is showing $26 pp but when I click through it jumps to $243 pp. 😠

for that same Jan23 cruise my offer is $50 interior and $135 ocean view.  funny how they are different and backwards.

 

When I click through the offer for the $50 interior my total price comes out to $395.72 total ($100/room and $295.72 taxes, fees, and ports).

CH-CHING!!!! Makes me happy to see these low rates. 

[csm5986142]

I am such a sucker for these deals - just booked a last minute (well 2 weeks out) cruise from Galveston (and I live nowhere near Texas).  I think these deals make me temporarily insane.
