jayscore Posted September 6, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2009 No, there is no such thing as a "dumb" or "stupid' question here! (That's MY dept!:p) Ask all the questions you can! How else are you going to know?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted September 6, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2009 And it gets more complicated! PVP's (Personal Vacation Planners) work directly for Carnival and keep in their database a profile on their guests. Once you're assigned to a PVP, it's your PVP until they no longer work for Carnival. If you have one like mine, it's a great thing. I've been dealing with mine for about 5 years and she's absolutely wonderful. She knows all of our preferences, goes out of her way to please us, and has even come out t the port to meet us. They can be reached by calling a dedicated 800 number and an extension. Carnival also has other employees who work in the reservations department. Commonly known as CVS, they're available throug the 1-800-Carnival number. Their main purpose is to take inbound calls but their goal is not to create a relationship with you, although some guests will keep their extension numbers and call them directly. Otherwise, you will speak to a different CVS every time you call. If you want to know who's best, if you ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different answers. I prefer my PVP, but many guests prefer their TA or a CVS they've created a relationship with. Do your homework, talk to different people, and book with who you feel most comfortable with. If you end up with a PVP, I hope you get one as wonderful as mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillPooh Posted September 6, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I was planning to book our cruise on line, but had a question I needed answered, so I called Carnival. I guess the young man I talked to must have been a CVS, then. He went above and beyond and in the end I booked the trip! I hope he gets credit for it. I did send Carnival an e-mail telling them how helpful he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
