chadci Posted January 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2010 In a previous thread I mentioned that I had gotten a call from Carnival the day I booked. I didn't know it was them so I didn't answer. The next morning our booking was cancelled so I called and they got it all fixed and it's good to go now. I've only gotten 1 e-mail from them and that was when the booking was initally cancelled... so I know they have my e-mail adress. I never got one to confirm the booking or anything else. Is that normal? I've been checking our booking on the website daily just to be sure nothing else has gone bonkers like the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black forest Posted January 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, I have booked via phone and got a confirmation email a few minutes later. But perhaps they did it because I am from Germany and I could book online because of my german Amex Credit Card. So I think, if you find your booking on the website, everything will be ok. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted January 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Whenever we book a cruise, we also get a confirmation e-mail almost immediately. I print out a copy, and also save the e-mail. Anytime we "pay down" the amount we owe, we also get an e-mail stating the new balance. I would call up, make sure your e-mail is on file with them, and ask them to send a confirmed booking e-mail to you, just so you can have a hard copy of something. Also, print a copy of your booking page as it shows on line, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'ma Posted January 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ditto. I always book direct, usually by phone after doing my own research. A confirmation email is automatically generated when the reservation is ended on their side. I've received mine within minutes after booking. I also print it out and save it to a folder.

Somehow when I booked myself they only e-mailed my husband who normally books and pays all the time eventhough I made all the arrangements. I gave them my e-mail address and information also, but I never heard a word. He forwards any e-mails to me now but for some reason they will not reply back to me:confused: .

alphakitty Posted January 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I book through a PVP. On my most recent booking, I had to ask my PVP to send my confirmation as I didnt' receive one and waited 48 hours after booking before requesting the confirmation.

Traveler353 Posted January 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I am lucky to have a very on the ball and pro-active PVP. He makes sure that I get copies of everything that I need. He also keep me up to date on any specials or other deals that I might be interested in. I think that he works 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadci Posted January 27, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Finally got e-mails to confirm booking however I made a payment on the cruise last week and didn't get anything from that... except from my bank ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afcj1 Posted January 27, 2010 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The past 2 that I've booked on line, without human intervention, I never received email confirmations for. I checked the bookings and everything was fine, so I never called for an email. I do print the screen with the pricing info that reflects my deposit.

Same here, our current crusie I booked on 12/15/09 and just today (1/27/10) recevied a cabin confirmation email. Not sure if these are auto generated based on sail date (our sail date is 5/15/10).

I don't expect an assignment until it is... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
