I looked but no longer see this perk. Did they take it away?

 

The 50% off a cruise is what you get once you get to your 50th Milestone cruise. The Diamond perks are a one time Free stateroom upgrade OR free 3rd, 4th, 5th guest! You also get a complimentary Steakhouse dinner which is also a one time perk.

So the free upgrade is from say ov to balcony? Not a fake upgrade like from a 8A to 8B

 

That is correct. Inside to outside, outside to balcony. Unfortunately, no balcony to suite.:classic_cool:

We are booked for our 50th cruise on the Radience in November (hope, hope, hope).

 

Our understanding that is we get an OBC worth 50% of our fare. Right or wrong? (Doesn't have any relation to being Diamond.)

Not really half off the cruise. 50% OBC from the price of the cruise. 

 

That's correct. 50% of the base cruise rate of the person redeeming given as obc. :classic_cool:

I understand you get 50% obc on the basic fare, but is this for the total basic fare of the booked cabin?  There will be 2 of us in the cabin.

For the person redeeming only, both of you would have to use your benefit to get the obc of both fares.

 

That's why I said above good time to book solo cabins.

It’s per person, not per cabin. Of course it could be 50% off the booked cabin if it was the 50th cruise for both of you. Also, as previously mentioned, you don’t have the use the OBC on your 50th cruise. It is best to use it on a longer, more expensive cruises in my opinion, since that will result in a higher OBC.

Here is the Milestone info..... 

 

GUEST RECOGNITION - MILESTONE REWARDS PROGRAM

As part of Carnival’s Guest Recognition Program, Milestone Rewards was developed in appreciation of longtime Carnival guests.  This milestone reward benefit is in addition to the wide range of amenities and privileges that guests already receive as part of the VIFP Club.

Milestone Rewards Program denotes a guest’s 25th, 50th 75th and 100th revenue cruise with Carnival.  Guests will receive a special Milestone Sail & Sign card on their corresponding Milestone cruise.  We want to distinguish guests on their Milestone sailing with a unique card so that we can make his/her Milestone experience extra special and memorable.  After this milestone cruise, they will revert to the card that corresponds to their VIFP level.

In appreciation for their loyalty, the guest will also be granted the opportunity to redeem a future non-refundable onboard credit equivalent to 25%, 50% or 75% of the cruise ticket price, corresponding to the milestone reached. And when a guest reaches his/her 100th cruise, will qualify for a FREE Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska or Australia cruise of their choice (8 days or less, for 2 guests), in accommodations up to and including Ocean Suites (category OS/OT). This onboard credit may be applied to any future cruise in accordance with the terms and conditions below.  

If you have questions regarding your Milestone rewards, please contact our Milestone's Desk at 877-CCL-VIPS.

Terms and Conditions (in fine print on the bottom of the Milestone letter)

  • Milestone Reward is valid for its stated value in U.S. dollars, only on Carnival Cruise Line and/or Carnival Australia cruise booking, to be used as a credit on board a ship. The Milestone Reward is not valid on any other cruise line, including any Carnival Corporation affiliate line. Milestone Reward is nontransferable, nonrefundable and has no cash value.
  • Milestone Reward must be redeemed at least 30 days prior to sail date and will be applied to the booking on the week prior to sailing.
  • Only one Milestone Reward is redeemable per guest, per booking; more than one guest per booking may redeem a Milestone Reward.
  • Booking must be made within 18 months of the date stated on the letter from Carnival's Milestone Desk; there is no specific sailing window.

It was a story told by my grandfather many years ago. At the beginning of operation they were not sure that they will get a needed attention as they were desperate to spend money on commercials. It was a kind of promotional event which was one of a kind. Not sure its true though. Especially today it cannot be true

What does this have to do with 50th cruise OBC?

Yes, you are correct.

On your 25th cruise you get 25% of the cruise cost in OBC. I have done that. I'm almost to the 50%. 🙂

Also, the same is for when you get to 75th cruise. On your 100th I believe it's a free cruise.
