Tripmode33 Posted August 29, 2022 #5430 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just put my VIFP number in and came up with VIFP Club symbol but can't see cheap pricing. Still $1242 interior on that NZ sailing. Can I ask where you'd be able to enter the (ELO) code suggested? Thanks for any advice. Been a long time since cruised Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisers47 Posted August 29, 2022 #5431 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Can I suggest something. I took my family on a carnival cruise and used my email address to book them in. I kept getting these terrific offers and when I click in they didn’t come up with my number! somebody on CC gave me the phone number of a person to ring from Carnival. I rang him and he said that the offer was for my daughter! And the reason she got the offers was because she had used the casino! When I asked her how much she had used the casino she said they used to buy their drinks there but never bet anything. she is not interested in a cruise at this point and I can’t use the offers as they are in her name 😩. a bit silly as I have used Carnival more than she has and am more likely to take up the offers!! eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripmode33 Posted August 29, 2022 #5432 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Thanks for to that. I suspected not all VIFP may be eligible. We're probably neither 'important' nor 'fun' enough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted August 29, 2022 Author #5433 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yeah we use the casino quite a bit. So maybe that why. I got so many codes in my profile at the moment. Not really sure what they all mean. My partner gets tons more offers (sometimes better than me) but he doesn't have a online profile with them. I think he must have spent more in the Casino than me. If Carnival cruised out of Melbourne I would be booking them. But cause its Brisbane you have to factor in flights then hotel so not really cheap cheap.

Rare arxcards Posted August 29, 2022 #5434 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Making mental note - cycle a few dollars through the pokies and buy some drinks at the casino bar. Looks to be a winner. I thought a lot of those deals used to come through Southern Cross players club, and were also linked to casino activity at Crown or Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on land 🙂 Sometimes quicker to get your drink from Casino bar too than other bars. Edited August 29, 2022 by icat2000 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my next cruise, I may have to ask how to use casinos, pokies etc. Can't be that hard for first timer. If it can score offers like that, I'd better learn fast..., 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cruise lines will realise they will get more money from a solo passenger than an empty cabin. Small ships offer no single supplement on remaining cabins.

On the Coral one it was about 70% loading for solo. But more often it is double the twin share price. The one I cancelled on Westerdam in Nov was double bubble, $4800 for solo 13 days domestic. The one I just booked on Coral - Balcony - was half that, albeit only 9 days. Shortest cruise I have ever done, it was always 2 weeks to 7 weeks. But such is life on the ocean waves.

By The Bay Posted September 6, 2022 #5444 Share Posted September 6, 2022 With these fares, it's cheaper than staying at home.🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspqld Posted September 6, 2022 #5445 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Interesting, I'm not seeing these cheap prices when I jump onto carnival's page. If I log in with my vifp, the whole booking page seems to freeze, and I cannot see any sailings at all or click on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted September 6, 2022 #5446 Share Posted September 6, 2022 On the Carnival page I get quite good prices, but nowhere near as good as those shown above. Anyway, the dates conflict with their a cruise we have booked or with our beach holiday. (I would put a 'sad face' emoji if I could find one!)

icat2000 Posted September 6, 2022 Author #5448 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Yeah I got that too. Problem is I have to add in airfares to Brisbane then probably overnight accommodation and who knows if my luggage would arrive. But if I lived in Brisbane I would never get off the ship at those prices 🙂 I'm just concentrating finding baragins out Melbourne at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted September 6, 2022 #5449 Share Posted September 6, 2022 There isn't much point sharing targeted "Exclusive Offer" bargains, as they aren't transferable. I have been contacted with a different offer - a very sweet suite deal for Luminosa, but I can't even pass it onto our daughter who has cruised Carnival more than we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand but it is interesting seeing what offers are available locally, even if they are not available to everyone. I regularly receive good deals from a US TA and wonder what is available locally to special clients. Maybe Covid has tipped the balance for more equity between countries.
