Booking on board (2018)

[arkstfan]

Article from last year talks about the benefits of booking while on board but it is about a year old.

 

 

I am cruising with Carnival in a few weeks and already know what my next planned cruise will be and I'll be flexible within a few weeks of when to take it.

 

 

Is the best bet to just wait and take advantage of booking while on the ship? Not a cruise that is going to sell out any time soon.

We couldn’t book on the ship, but got a rate saver code to use within 2 weeks to book our next which gave us OBC. I hadn’t cruised CCL since 2002 and having experienced the purchase future cruise desk with RCI, it is just not the same.

The same "deal" you get for booking on board, you get when you get home and it's valid for 2 weeks.

No "deal" for booking on board. It will be the same thing in your email after the cruise, $50-100 OBC.

And you have to book early saver, which means a penalty if you cancel. It's also not worth the time you might have to wait to talk to the crew member.
