Carnival Email: Purchase Faster to the Fun

Recommended Posts

I got an email from Carnival offering me to purchase Faster to the Fun for our up coming Alaskan cruise on the Miracle. We've been platinum for the last two cruises. I emailed them back asking why would I want to purchase the FTTF package when we are platinum? Even had our booking number and details on the invitation. I would say this was desperation on their part.

I got it about 10 minutes ago. I would post it here but it has my personal info on it. I'll let everyone know if I get an answer back. Just thought it was odd that they didn't recognize a "valued" customer.

Oh my :eek: ... I'm not platinum, probably never will be, but have openly said here that Carnival needs to step it up big time for platinum - this isn't what I was talking about though!

It seems odd that they would even have to beg anyone to get it seeing how they only allow 30 cabins at the most to buy it. In most cases, they have way more than 30 cabins that want it and can't get it.

 

Yeah.

I thought that FttF was supposed to be so sought out that it required no promotion.

Which leads one to the question of how many do they actually have for sale...:rolleyes:

FYI

 

Miracle --- just opened up for the very first time for the FTTF passes about a month ago, they were never available until then, so they may be just letting everyone know that is now booked on the Miracle, the program just does not have the exceptions to move diamond. and platiums out of the email list..

30 cabins times $50 = $ 1500 per cruise. Can't believe they even bother with it.

x however many ships they do this on now x how many times they sail.

 

And the best part for them is there's really no extra expenditure they have to make to make this happen thus easy money.

 

Extra revenue for really nothing additional on their part for a service customers are willing to pay for, makes business sense to me.

Does it really matter if they sent you an automated email and didn't recognize your "exalted" status? Just hit delete and move on.

 

Of course it matters. How stupid can they be? My exalted status? LOL! Not exalted at all, it's a perk I'm entitled to. I wouldn't shell out $49.95 just so they can get into my wallet faster.

My goodness, the elites get more restless by the day.

 

It's a mass email. If you don't want it, don't bother with it. I can't imagine being offended by something like this.

 

Not offended at all, Carnival can't keep track of its customers. I find it more amusing than anything. I couldn't help but ask them why they're trying to sell me something that I am already getting for free. Oh the irony.:D

I agree, even if I were Diamond status the email would not bother me at all...
