Got a couple Magic questions.

[SellN4U]

Ok, so this will be our 3rd cruise on Carnival and all 3 on Magic. First question is when is the latest you can redeem your Carnival CC points for a certain cruise. And 2nd question is we are sailing this September 20th and our DS is 8. We are trying to see how many people are going to be cruising with kids in that age range and will be using Camp Carnival? TIA :)

As for your son, you should go to the roll call section and join and you may get an idea of who will be bring kids in his age range. We have the carnival cc, we usually book the cruise and pay with the points since it will be doubled with carnival.

...when is the latest you can redeem your Carnival CC points for a certain cruise. ...

...We have used the Barclay reward points for both OBC and to make a payment on the account. For either, you should probably give them at least a few days to process your request. We've never waited until the last day, but always submit the OBC request a couple of weeks ahead of the cruise. We charge the cruise to the card. We also charge our S&S to the card so we get double points on S&S purchases upon return from the cruise. Upon returning from the cruise you can then redeem points to pay your all or part of your card balance, thus maximizing your double points for Carnival purchases. Either way, you take advantage of the points earned for use on your cruises.
