sp29488 Posted November 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We booked yesterday on a Carnival cruise. We are not new to cruising. We've been on 9 all with Carnival but it's been almost 4 years since our last one. After we booked yesterday (with our own TA) I received a text that said: BK#****** on Carnival ********** for date***** signed up for text alerts. Accept by replying ALERT******. (of course the *** are to block personal info.) I didn't sign up for any text alerts and I've never had a text like this before on our other cruises. Our TA did use my cell phone number as the number on our info. Is this something new that they are doing? Thanks for any info. and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted November 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2015 That is an option during the on line checkin process. I always sign up just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you for the information. I guess she must have checked this when she booked us. I haven't done the online check in yet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladygal4.4 Posted November 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yes the texts are for last minute updates, my husband freaked out when he got his first one. I didn't mention that I had signed him up LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
