fivemonkeysplus1 Posted June 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I booked my cruise last week and now my daughter wants to book the same cruise. We have both traveled on one other cruise with carnival. When I put in my vifp #, it gives me an "exclusive vifp club offer" that includes half off deposit. When she puts hers in, no similar offer can be found. She's a single mom so 50% deposit is very helpful. Why would I have that offer but she doesn't? There shouldn't be any difference in our accounts...benefit wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call Carnival and get a PVP who could most likely get her the rate with her explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted June 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just a FYI, the VIFP "special offers" are not extended to all. Don't have a clue how they choose who gets one and who doesn't. We booked one cruise from a special offer my wife got but I never saw the same offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inco Posted June 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) The half price deposit was only for a few days limited time offer. You made it, she didn't, but a call to Carnival might get it for her. Good luck. Edited June 10, 2016 by inco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted June 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Also you could wait. I'm sure there will be a 1/2 off or $49 deposit soon. They have them quite often. They only last a short time so check everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craycruzerlady Posted June 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I would go with other posters and give Carnival a call. When we booked about 6 weeks ago, Carnival extended our VIFP offer to our friends we're traveling with even though they've never sailed before. Saved them over $200 plus they got our same OBC. (they're traveling in another cabin) Worth the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made it, she didn't, but a call to Carnival might get it for her. Good luck. I would agree but it was still doing half off for me but not for her. I guess it was the luck of the draw. Ended up calling and they extended it to her via my booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riemercruisin Posted June 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2016 FYI - if you receive this exclusive Past Guest offer, you are allowed to book to additional cabins under this fare code. We just did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
