Carnival now giving Anniversary and Birthday gifts

[ready2cruzagain]

We were recently on the Glory during our anniversary and for our anniversary we received a $50 Gift Card to the Spa, and we received a $25 Gift Card towards a bottle of wine.

 

Used the Spa Card for a manicure...paid a tip was all and used the $25 card for a $25 bottle of wine (there was no gratuity added).

 

The staff said it is something new they are doing.

 

I thought it was Awesome!!

That's awesome! I saw a picture of the card on another person's post and it said "happy birthday month." Given that, I wonder if DH will get one. His birthday is only 7 days before we sail, but in a different month ...

How did they know it was your anniversary? We are cruising during ours later this year. Wonder how they would know.

They probably don't know what do do with all the money they are saving with the plummeting fuel costs.

We just cruised on the Magic for my husband's 40th, they left a card and some delicious chocolates in our room. Guest Services also called to wish him a happy birthday.

 

When you do online check in there is a spot to check for celebrating a special occasion.

Guess everyone will celebrate an anniversary every cruise. IMO seems silly.

Hi

 

Does the event date need to take place while you are on board? We are looking at a cruise that is 10 days after my Mom's b'day and our anniversary, and ends 2 weeks before my Dad's b'day.

 

Thanks

[PittsburghGirlee]

Cruised on my actual Bday 5 times recently and even put that it was my BDay in the online check in form. Sadly, never received a single thing as of last March.

 

Happy for those that do receive[emoji106]

This is awesome, I am sailing on my 50th birthday in March on the Glory.

Well that was 1-5 years ago! Let us know in a couple weeks if they do it for you now.

My son received a postcard for a free dinner at Capitano

We wonder as well. I just filled out our online check-in yesterday and no where in the pages did it ask for special occasions. DH has a birthday in the month we sail so I would have noticed it if there was a question.:confused::confused:

If you go to your booking and click on the "guests" tab in blue. Under the guests name if you will click on the modify button the choice is there to add it.

Thanks for the info! We will be celebrating our anniversary while on the Conquest in June so, I added it under the "my booking" section...fingers crossed!

[SosaCruising]

Thanks so much! Our first wedding anniversary is in March and we are celebrating on the Conquest.

[ready2cruzagain]

I always call and make my bookings with Carnival and they always ask if we are celebrating any special occasions.

 

It was a pleasant surprise.

Where is this magic modify button?

I also received the $50 Spa gift card but there was no indication that it was because of a birthday or anniversary...I figured it was just a way to get you to try out the spa so they can try and sell you more stuff...I didn't use it as I am not a spa person. I also wasn't celebrating anything on the cruise...so I doubt they specifically give them for those reasons.

We cruised 5 days after my Husband's birthday in January and he received a 25.00 gift card for wine and a free 4 x 6 photo.

[Keys2Heaven]

We booked through a TA and we don't have a modify button under the "My Guests" tab. However, we did tell our TA that we were celebrating our anniversary and it is indicated as such for "Special Occasion" under that same tab.

 

However, we celebrated our anniversary on-board last year and didn't receive a thing. So, if new, it would be a nice thing to receive.

hmmm...mine came with a card that said Happy Anniversary and here is a gift for you to celebrate.

On the valor last week we had to pay to buy our tablemate a birthday cake.

 

They did give the men in our group a $ 50 gift certificate to the spa which was not transferrable to DW so it went into the trash.

[ATL_Miami_Cruiser]

My friend and his wife traveled with me on the Sunshine a few weeks ago and for their anniversary Carnival gave them a free dinner at Ji Ji's or Cucina-del-capitano. I'm glad that Carnival is recognizing special occasions.

[Domergirl]

Thanks! Worth a try! We're cruising in April, which is my b-day month...so I just marked it, and now I'll cross my fingers!!!

That's what used to happen when they would bring a whole birthday or anniversary cake at no charge (and sing to you) at dinner in the dining room. Some tables had a birthday or anniversary every night.

 

When they started charging for a whole cake in the dining room, it was amazing how many fewer birthdays and anniversaries there were.
