firemanbobswife Posted July 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2016 You need to have everyone's booking numbers and call Carnival or your TA if you use one. Only they can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar10der421 Posted July 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2016 We booked with a PVP and when our friends called him to link with our booking they also needed our pin number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraftyJGinSC Posted July 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I emailed our maitre d 2 weeks before sailing with both our booking #s (2 families of 4 each). Didn't get a response back, but our table #s matched up on our S&S cards on embarkation day, woohoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted July 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) I emailed our maitre d 2 weeks before sailing with both our booking #s (2 families of 4 each). Didn't get a response back, but our table #s matched up on our S&S cards on embarkation day, woohoo!! You got lucky. Sometimes the emails aren't received because of various reasons. I would never chance our bookings not being linked and doing it strictly via email to the ship only. The only surefire way is to have the actual reservations linked by Carnival. You should also request an invoice once they tell you it's done as it will show in the notes at the bottom. I have never needed to provide a PIN for anyone's else's booking. It's not like you're changing anything in their reservation like from Early Dining to Late Dining, just simply having you sit together. It depends on who you talk to I guess.

fivemonkeysplus1 Posted July 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I thought if my bookings were linked on carnival.com that would be enough? All 3 bookings are together under my booking page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to Call and make sure they are in Carnival's system then have them send you an invoice. Edited July 30, 2016 by firemanbobswife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted July 30, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) If your bookings are properly linked for dining, as someone mentioned, there will be verbiage in the guest notes section of your cruise confirmation like this: "GUEST NOTES 1) Your booking has been linked with the following reservations for dining xxxxxx yyyyyy zzzzzz." Where the x's, y's and z's are the other booking numbers linked to yours. Edited July 30, 2016 by joepeka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runaway Parent Posted July 30, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Also be aware if you are linked and wait listed for your preferred dining time-- if one booking gets "in" they unlink everything. It happened to us for our upcoming November cruise. I called and had to relinquish them and give up on changing to the full dining time so it wouldn't happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
