sam73 Posted April 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Is this for real? I just happened to log in to my carnival account, and found many great offers. $100 pp for balcony rooms with obc. Even found a 5 day balcony, $1200 for 2 people with a $1000 obc. Of course these all expire tomorrow, and i get get a answer from the hubs. How often are these offered? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way of telling if they will continue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare txcruiser1234 Posted April 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If you find a deal appealing, I'd hop on it. I'm hoping those deals continue when the current round expires, but I'm definitely not counting on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted April 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2023 They are for real, but don't expect them to last forever, especially as cruising continues to recover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGirlJen Posted April 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2023 It's real, and click the button if you find one you like. I got an 8 day balcony for next year for ~$850 pre-tax. And for someone that typically cruises solo I absolutely jumped on it because I typically sail inside since I have to pay double. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give the op an extra day or two to decide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New offers will come out May 2. These casino offers are to try and lure gamblers back. My husband hadn’t been since 2019 and he had a free interior.

Definitely can assume that you won’t continue to get them if you haven’t taken advantage of one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked but COVID ended up cancelling our cruise. He has been getting them consistently since then. We sailed twice in 2022 and I started playing at the casino. I also now consistently get them. I get the worry. Back when cruising was starting up again he had one and I felt pressured to book, scared we wouldn't get another. Eventually they will run out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up booking alaska for next year. $2000 extended balcony with $400 obc and free drinks in the casino. We were booked for alaska in 2020 and it was over $4000, so feel like this was a good deal Edited May 1, 2023 by sam73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
