Booked our free cruise on the paradise

[aml3679]

We sat through a 90 minute presentation that offered a free cruise. We just booked the Paradise for next December. It is a five day that leaves out of Tampa. We had to pay port fees and taxes plus we added gratuities and insurance. It was less than $500.

We just booked Carnival Venezia for Dec 2023 for Carnival credit. We had credit from 2019 Sunshine cruise to Bermuda which was a disaster going into a hurricane on the way to Bermuda from NYC. They extended the credit due to Covid. Got an ext Terrezza aft cabin for just taxes, port charges and gratuities. It should be great!

We got good news, we are also getting $500 obc.

Hopefully, you didn't end up getting roped into buying a timeshare during that 90 minute presentation 😏

No timeshare

We received a free cruise coupon from WinStar casino and booked an 8 day, Bahamas onthe Dream out of Galveston.  We did that cruise last month and look forward to doing it again.  I think port, etc came to about $420 but out shareholder will give us $100 in OBC so, life is good.

How does one get in on this 90 minute deal?  Are you allowed to say?

Went to the Florida State Fair and there was a booth.  Condominium Travel Club.

Timeshare presentations. They're all over Florida.

We sat through a similar 90 minute presentation that we signed up for at The Big E (New England’s version of a state fair). I was impressed the free cruise certificate was in my email the next day.  Did you book an inside room or upgrade?

 

I also wanted to bump this post to see if anyone one else had experience with the free cruise through Condominium Travel Club since fair season is finishing up and that seems to be their biggest recruitment.

Carnival will give you the shareholder credit for your free cruise? I always get the email after submitting it saying you cannot get the credit for any discounted cruises.

@aml3679 we have a presentation scheduled for tomorrow with a cruise as the gift that we were after.  Care to elaborate your experience, so that we can be better prepared going into the presentation?
