File13 Posted April 29, 2010 #26 Share Posted April 29, 2010 $400.00 OBC and an upgrade from 8E to 8K booked ES. We couldn't believe it. We check the site at least 2x a day to see if the price drops any more.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebat1 Posted April 29, 2010 #27 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I was just wondering what the largest OBC you have gotten from booking your cruise to your actual cruise sail date. Thanks Zero, never asked or tried. Once I book, it's a done deal, I'm a happy camper...errrr cruiser. On several occasions I have received a credit on my CC for missed ports. A surprise indeed, as I have never expected or asked for them ~~!!~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tampabrat22 Posted April 29, 2010 #29 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The most we ever received was $100 when we cruised as groups, and I was over the top happy with that! I wish I could get OBC's like these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokergirl34 Posted April 29, 2010 #33 Share Posted April 29, 2010 We had $220 on our 4 day cruise last summer. A lot of you guys have done very well!! I hope our summer one continues to drop! For now we just upgraded and then added another room so we don't have to share with our kids. Now I'm ready so see our fares go down in our two staterooms!

adpilove Posted April 30, 2010 #35 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Are these outrageous OBC's for bookings in Balconies and higher? I can't imagine how they'd go any lower than $569 for a oceanview room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec2007w3boys Posted April 30, 2010 #36 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nov 2008 - went from one room for four to two rooms for 2 (kids ended up with their own room) and received $360 obc. This was before early saver, when they would honor lower prices. I was happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepnite10 Posted April 30, 2010 #37 Share Posted April 30, 2010 upon calling in to take care of our final payment we were informed our cruise had gone down in price..the compensation amounted to $650.. we received a $400 price adjustment to our final payment and a $250 OBC..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMedik Posted April 30, 2010 #40 Share Posted April 30, 2010 We had over $1300 OBC for our Dream cruise earlier this month between our two cabins. $100 was from future cruise credit. $100 was from shareholders. The remainder was from missing one port which I think was $7.16 each, and from ES price drops. It really does pay to book ES. :) We've had similar amounts on previous cruises prior to ES. Don't ask me how we spent over $2800 on our Sail & Sign....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people were you paying? :) Lots of drinks or gambling? I have a question, what is this shareholder OBC you received? And what kind of room did you guys have? You inspire me!!

You inspire me!! adpilove, The shareholder OBC is from owning a minimum of 100 shares of CCL stock. You just send in proof of ownership and they apply the credit. The S&S is from myself, my wife, and our three sons. Expenses included auto tips for five ($350), drinks for five (We opted to activate our sons' S&S cards instead of soda cards and they actually did not go over what the soda card cost would have been), Spa couples package, Spa treatments, (Spa $ was over 1K) pictures (We bought 23 Carnival pics), and Funshop purchases. All of our casino expenses were cash $ and not on S&S card; casino winings would have nearly wiped out our total S&S! :cool: We played mostly blackjack though Karen did play slots one day. Karen and I were in an aft wrap 9C #6492. Our sons were in an 8B #6435. The 8B is where ALL of the OBC from ES came from because the 9C sold out early.

newcruiser08820 Posted April 30, 2010 #48 Share Posted April 30, 2010 We are leaving on Miracle in two weeks with $ 830 OBC ( $ 100 for 100 share and the rest due to ES rate drop). We have booked two 4k cabins. So happy - never had OBC before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
