[yuki5900]

hi

we are going on our 2nd carnival cruise. aside from the past guest party, are there any other perks? e.g. on rci they give you a coupon book

thanks!

No more extras until your 10th Carnival cruise.

On board what caribbean dreams said except a gold card instead of a red, white and blue:cool:

 

You do get the past guest discounts. You might what to check as most sailing seem to have them now. There are also past guest reunion cruises but I never have found one that works for me YET:)

[English Tim]

I am one cruise below platinum on 'Princess' and was tempted to take a further Princess cruise, to achieve such status, but Carnival Freedom's itinerary and price was so competitive that we have returned to Carnival for next summer, so we too will have the 'gold' card.

 

I wonder whether the lines within the Carnival group, might merge passenger benefits sometime soon. That would be good.

This isn't through Carnival per say, but if you go to the Ocean players club website (I can't post the link... I'm at work and the site is blocked. Damn the man!) there's an option where you fill out all your information and they will deliver chocolate covered strawberries and a $15 photo coupon to your room. I did this for our Liberty cruise and it worked! I think the link is called "Sailing again" or something to that effect. I wish I could get on the site so I could tell you exactly what it says. :(

But either way, it was a nice little free perk for sailing with Carnival again!

Thanks for the ocean club suggestion - I just went in and entered my info. Didn't say anything about what they would give me but it was worth the 15 second hassle :o)

 

For anyone interested, try this link:

Crusiing again or Ocean players?

 

Sounds interesting...

[LADYBUG34113]

I just went out there and signed up under "cruising again". It asks for your booking number and room number:D

[English Tim]

I tried it and it wouldn't accept my dob 09/30/55. Is that how it would be typed in the USA?

[LuvSand&Sun]

Thanks for the website!! Well worth the quick signup!! I tried and seems to have worked. They did accept all of my info. They do want a 4 number year 2007 rather than 07. I will have to let you know if I get something special on my upcoming cruise!!

[bchbum641]

We got a pin after our 5th cruise- WHOO--ha. They do have a past puest party with free drinks- That's always fun.

[nimbex1970]

At check in you get a heart felt .... "Welcome BACK":D

Try making the year 4 digits - 1955. Since 2000 most sites use a 4 digit format for the year. :)

[runcassrun_07]

I also tried the link NINETYFEET sent for past cruising or etc. and it would'nt work for me either. Anybody have ideas what problems caused it? I put in dates and ect. correctly hit SUBMIT and nothing happened.:confused:

[poodlemom396]

Just a personal opinion but when I have a problem or question I think I get extra consideration when I pull out my gold card. I have been asked for my card for services many times and had the server or store clerk say "we are happy to have you back" I wanted to change dinner times last cruiseand the Head Waiter also say we will give you a special table since you are a repeat cruiser.

The site drives me mad!

 

It asks for date of next cruise and dob in mm/dd/yy

 

I enter 08/14/08 for 14 August 2008 and 09/30/55 for 30 September 1955

 

It keeps asking for correct format. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:mad: :mad: :mad:

[wormfarmer]

Trust me this does not always work. Out of 8 cruises in the past year only 5 did this for me. The other 3 there was nothing in my stateroom...

[AerynSun_JohnCrighton]

We don't have all that info it's too far away so I'm waiting...but I swore it asked not only for past memeber # but the booking # and all from PAST cruise...

 

I'm not sure I remember the BOOKing # from my past cruise...is it on my card? *I still have it somewhere*

[alphakitty]

I did it earlier today...worked fine. I did fill out every field they asked for and used 9 0's in the Membership # field. Could that have made the difference? :confused: I got an email confirmation.

Hey Shauna & Sean,

We were on your Magica cruise with you. How have you guys been? I see you went on the Spirit in Jan, how was that? We always stick to the Florida ports so we can drive. We've done a few more cruises since that Magica one. We were trying to get a lot in while Bill was feeling well. Unfortunately he passed away at the beginning of June after a courageous fight with his cancer. Crusining was the favorite vacation for him and he will always be cruising with me.

I did the same thing and got this email response:

 

Thanks for contacting the Ocean Players Club!

 

We're glad to hear your sailing again! We have placed you on our OPC guest list for your upcoming sailing. Hope you have a great cruise, and the best of luck while spending time in the Casino!

I was pretty surprised on our last cruise, besides the cocktail party and ship's pin we received a VERY nice tote bag (I haven't seen it for sale anywhere) filled with the following Carnival gear:

A belly bag

2 T-shirts which have 07 cruise. enjoy. repeat. imprinted on them

2 very nice key rings

a deck of cards

a visor

a baseball cap

two insulated sippers

two (of the inexpensive) beach towells

a few little pakages of snack items

Needless to say we were VERY PLEASANTLY surprised. I can't tell you how nice this tote bag is. Has anyone else rec'vd one of these? All of the past guests, on our cruise, found one in each cabin on the second day (after the room was cleaned). I wonder if this was a one time shot? Wouldn't it be nice if they continued to give us such a nice gift?

[AerynSun_JohnCrighton]

I would love that...but prob just a one shot.

Hi Jean,

 

First of all, I am so sorry about Bill. We really enjoyed having dinner with you guys. Remember the togas? I have a picture of our whole table that night. I'll have to send it to you. Bill was always in such a good mood. He was a great guy. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you are still enjoying cruising. We did enjoy the cruise out of San Diego but nothing compares to the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean. We just booked the Victory- Eastern Caribbean leaving Miami on Jan. 20, 2008. You should come on that one too. Anyways, I am so glad you posted. Let me know if you would like that picture.

This is our 10th carnival cruise and we have never gotten anything like that on CCL. Disney gives you a great beach towel on your 2nd cruise.

 

Does anyone know what platinum status get you? (10 cruises)
