sherrintxs Posted January 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2009 From our last cruise I wrote a letter about our experience and the staff that went above and beyond. Carnival wrote back saying thank you and that the people listed, their supervisors would be forwarded a copy of my letter and 45 days prior to our next cruise to call and we would have a Bon Voyage gift waiting in our cabin for us. I know others have had this happen, mind telling us what the gift was from Carnival? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compman9 Posted January 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2009 We had a bottle of Champagne first time. It was awful. this time we have asked for drinks coupons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted January 20, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I got drink coupons last time. One time, we got a photo coupon and that's what we requested for our upcoming cruise. Mom and I didn't ask for wine because we prefer to pick out our own and not possibly be stuck with a bottle of something that we don't like.

DaisyGirl55 Posted January 20, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I wrote a letter after my last cruise and received a letter back thanking me for taking the time to write. The letter said my appreciation would be passed to the people who made our cruise special...but no mention on calling in 45 days before my next cruise - even though my letter mentioned we were already booked on our next cruise. Oh well - I guess not everyone gets the 45-day gift soecial...but I am still glad I wrote to Carnival. Our cruise on the Glory really was awesome, and the staff went out of their way at times with my grandkids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or the chocolate mmm chocolate :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghGirlee Posted March 17, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have a copy of my 45 day letter and wanted to post it for those to see what it looks like. I am not sure how to do this though. It is a .gif. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poobears Posted March 17, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think the photo upload on your post supports gif format. Just start a post and choose the manage attachments link down below the box you type in. Find your file on your computer and upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others have had this happen, mind telling us what the gift was from Carnival? TIA Cruised in October and sent in a letter and received reply thanking me. No mention of calling for a gift. Cruised again in February and also sent my feedback and also received a thank you letter - no gift. I read on another thread that they have stopped this "gift" practice.

mom2girls Posted March 17, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I chose the drink coupons or a bottle of wine. I'll find out which one I get in 12 days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghGirlee Posted March 17, 2009 #18 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm glad the 45 day letter thumbnail worked...... thanks for all the help. I just placed my call and chose the 4 bar coupons with a bottle of champagne as a back-up. either way, it is a win win for me.... Yiiipppeeee..... Springbreak08, you were absolutely correct on the choices that were given. I told him that you had me at 4 bar coupons. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
