I just booked Freedom for Alaska yesterday in late April/early May. And I have Mardi Gras next August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my Vistas are basically cheap cruises paid for by gift cards I had laying around. Worst case my gift cards turn into FCCs with OBC. Best case I get the three cheapest 7 day cruises I’ve booked. Alaska is my FCC from my canceled Aruba cruise. The OBC is going to come in handy because what I thought were expensive excursions on other cruises are the cheapest excursions in Alaska. I feel decent about Alaska because JH is on it. He’s been holding off on announcing a cruise and now that he has I feel like he feels good about it. Mardi Gras I booked a year ago. It’s my regular late August cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Greg, I'm sorry if my post rankled your feathers, not at all my intention. I was actually commenting on the optimism you show. I'm also hoping we are all cruising again by the early part of next year, I myself have 2 scheduled so far. I sincerely apologize if I came off sounding condescending in any way.

Just saying if you think I'm confident to be throwing money at cruises I'm not. I'm just playing with gift cards and FCCs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why my GC is coming to me. My Magic cruise which was booked through a TA and canceled in June I have not gotten the refund. TA said Carnival was going to send me a GC. I finally called Carnival on Saturday. They told me it was processed on July 6th and the GC was likely sent to my TA since they booked the cruise. So my TA is trying to find the gift card or they have to call Carnival and trace it. It's not time sensitive because that is just going to go on that Alaska cruise which is also booked through that TA. They just have to locate it.

ULCajunCruiser Posted August 11, 2020 #38 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yeah, I understand the benefits of a TA. I'm just pretty soured on them right now. I finally bypassed mine and went to Carnival, I'm hoping this week!!! Glad to hear it's not time sensitive, and at least they're looking. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying that solo rate I need to take all the breaks I can get. In this case for Alaska it's 10% of my total cruise price coming back in OBC from the TA.

The clorox heathcare wipes picture for panorama is probably a good one in retrospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
