Comped Carnival Cruise is Cancelled - OBC

[cinnamin]

I was wondering if anyone had a comped cruise (directly from Carnival and not land based offer) cancelled due to Covid-19 and what the cancellation was like. With today's extended cancellation dates, my cruise is cancelled and I want to select option 1 to get the $600 onboard credit for future cruises but since I didn't pay anything except the port fees and taxes, would I still be eligible? Thanks in advance!

Well you can transfer over the port fees and taxes still, but pay the rest, unless whomever comped it will extend it to another date. Call and find out.

My "comped" cruise for May was cancelled.

I rebooked for next April which was an identical "comp"offer.   I was able to transfer the fees and taxes over to the new cruise and my new one is now paid in full.

I have the $600 OBC for rebooking plus another $200 that was part of the "comp" offer.

It was quick and easy to take care of.  Now, it's a waiting game to see if we ever cruise again...LOL

I got the $600 OB but I did select a future cruise with the same offer so not sure if the comped cruise just carries

Thanks! Did you select Option 1 online and re-booked yourself or did you call in and do it? Unfortunately, I don't have that identical comp offer anymore.

I had a "comped" balcony for my June cruise that was cancelled by Carnival. They would not extend the offer to my re-booked Nov cruise, since the "comped balcony" offer had already expired.

I did Option 1 and rebooked myself.  I did it the same day that Carnival had cancelled because I knew my comp offers were going to expire in about a week and they were good into late 2021.

I'm a bit sorry that I didn't book later into 2021 because I'm not having positive thoughts that April cruises will take place.  Hope I'm wrong...LOL

I have gotten the $600 OBC on both of my cancelled comp cruises.  I had my PVP handle it.  But I did have other offers I could move everything to.  Hope it works out for you, OP.

April is probably ok, vaccines will come out by then I hope!
