MsVulcan Posted July 11, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have some questions about this promotion and I'm sure I can get more correct answers here than I can on the phone to Carnival. ;) I am new to Carnival and inadvertently booked ES. I've learned a lot about this program on CC since booking. Thanks for all of the info, everyone!! I am booked ES for January and the cruise is paid in full due to CCL gift cards. Some of my price reductions have been given in OBC since they came after I paid in full. Will the $200 OBC offered here be added to what I have since my current OBC is from fare reductions and not other OBC offers? Or will I lose the OBC I already have? And if the fare goes down again, I will lose the $200 from this offer, correct? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding (and I'm kind of new to this myself, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong), that you will lose this $200 if you go for another sale. And make sure that's it's actually $200. Mine wasn't. I don't know the answer to your question about the OBC you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you will lose it because it is not the same offer as you previously had. what you need to do is price it out, see if it saves you money with the 200 obc because sometimes the cruise price itself goes up and it will based on the new fare.

kbh2 Posted July 11, 2016 #34 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I assume that it's based on category of room. That's usually how these things work. I have an interior porthole room. I bet that if I had a suite then it would have been the full amount. It may depend on the sailing because I have a 4j interior and got the full $200.

I kept the $40 and got the $200 offer. The price for my cruise hadn't changed since the last price drop so the $40 stayed, now have confirmation of $240 total. To claim further price drops though it would have to go down more than $200 to make it worth it to change. Definitely worth a happy dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price of your cabin now is the same as what it was before your last price drop and you are already paid in full, you can apply for this promo and get the $200. At that point, you would have all of your current OBC and this one. There's no reason why you should lose the OBC you already accumulated from price drops. I would call.

nuthut Posted July 11, 2016 #37 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My Jan 8 cruise on the sunshine went up $5 a person but I was able to get a $50 a person OBC. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAN415 Posted July 12, 2016 #38 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I tried for it. We booked early saver and paid in full for a January 2017 cruise. They refused me because our category (corner aft) is sold out. It's only $200.00 but still I'm not happy with Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not say "the deposit less a $50pp service fee" like it does on the regular ES. It says there is a $50pp service fee and the remaining funds are held as a credit for a future cruise. That would mean the whole cruise fare less $50pp. Considering we are on an 8 day cruise that is a whole lot more than the $200pp we would have held under the regular ES. I really don't like having close to $2000 held as a credit for a future cruise. At least that is how I am reading it. I guess I should call and find out if that is the case.

I'm interested to see what the answer to this is. After I paid in full, when I clicked my cancellation fee on my booking, it was nearly the whole amount. (A little over 80%). Would I lose that whole amount if I canceled or would it be future cruise credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I paid in full, when I clicked my cancellation fee on my booking, it was nearly the whole amount. (A little over 80%). Would I lose that whole amount if I canceled or would it be future cruise credit? That cancel button is confusing. So long as you were to cancel before your actual final payment date, you will lose $50pp on an ES booking. Everything else is held as a future cruise credit to be used within 24 months. Once past the final payment due date, you lose money on the same sliding scale as any other rate with Carnival. So if you pay off a cruise early then cancel, they're keeping the entire cruise fare to use towards a future cruise less $50pp. You don't actually get a refund of your money - hence why that button can be confusing when you click on it.

riclop Posted July 12, 2016 #43 Share Posted July 12, 2016 So I am seeing a 200 onboard credit offer if booked and paid in full by 7/15.But when I click on this deal to see the dates.. my screen just flickers and keeps loading and unloading the page.... Anyone else having this problem? Is this a VIP offer or is it available to anyone? It's not on all cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleeb12 Posted July 12, 2016 #44 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I looked into that, too. But right now for our sailing there's an early saver combined with a past guest rate that is about $170 cheaper per cabin and you get $50 OBC, so it ends up being a better deal by $20. Did you check to see if your booking has that deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommamann Posted July 12, 2016 #45 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I can't get passed the flashing screen to see if my cruises qualify. :( Mine did that too.

CozGurl Posted July 12, 2016 #46 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Can you use this for anything on board? Booze? Specialty dining? Spa? $200 seems like a great credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugaree5335 Posted July 12, 2016 #48 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) It may depend on the sailing because I have a 4j interior and got the full $200. I think you're right. I did a couple of mock bookings and even the grand suite only qualified for $100 on this sailing. Darn. I was hoping that I could upgrade to an OV and save some more money. Maybe next time.
