On board booking

[watsonbeau]

Debating on a Caribbean round trip (am in UK). Just wondering whether to wait and book onboard - or book at home. Do they still give the extra discount 3%?? (as it’s over 24 nights) if you book a saver fare or is that only if it’s a Cunard fare ? Can’t remember!
 

Also can you still request OBC for a saver fare with the required 100+ Carnival shares - have always had Cunard fare before so not sure on this point either.

 

Thank you.

As I understand it,

 

- share OBC is Ok for the onboard sales, but you still have to email in your bona fides / use the new App thing.

 

- on longer trips you can get a reduced deposit

 

- there is an OBC extra benefit which depends on your stateroom/suite choice and length of trip.

 

- they may give a slightly better grade for no additional, if it suits them to do so.

Recently booked on board - no reduced deposit over 24 nights and 3% discount rather than additional OBC - would have preferred the other option but no go!

Worth looking at current promotion with up to 3x OBC with Cunard Fare and see which is the better fit.

That photo above shows 3% but for 25 plus nights rather than 24. 24 should be the OBC.

Yes that’s what I’m thinking - the discount is small compared to the extra OBC you’d get on a shorter <24 nt cruise.  Surprised they don’t give you a choice between the usual 200/300$ pp onboard perk or the 3% whichever is better.  Which is why I was trying to find out - thank you..
