soccersharon Posted February 19, 2021 #28 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have the opposite problem: I don't receive any marketing emails. None. Nada. Wondering if it's because I'm Canadian, with 4 cruises booked. No clue 🤷🏻♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted February 20, 2021 #29 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I get at least two emails every day from Carnival and another one from RCL. I had sworn I wouldn't book another cruise until they started sailing again, but one of those emails enticed me with its sexy $99 deposit, ridiculously low price for an extended balcony, and $500 OBC. That's how I ended up with a B2B for April 2022. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the blues of course being their primary. I'm a platinum, so marketing to me has been in Carnival's rear view mirror. It has to be true since I never received a RU1, RU2 or RU3 with the Cheers promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be another three or four years before I can make it to platinum and get ignored by CCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYthing to get some money rolling in! The desperation is obvious. I donated $250 and I don't even like carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted February 23, 2021 #40 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I get one at least once a day. I'm sure these will die down once cruising resumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ledges1 Posted February 23, 2021 #41 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I am Platinum and I get emails several times a week. Most have my Personal Planner listed at the bottom by name with direct phone #. He must have a mailing list that is included. I am sure there is a lot of pressure on them to generate cash flow and convince people to roll over cruises after cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems daily and can be more than once a day. If I click in and go look at any particular cruise to mock book for a price - well - then they seem to just stalk me with targeted emails at that cruise for a bit as well. I kinda like them right now ... nice break from Covid news and easy enough to delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, just happy to have a few cruises to look forward to. Be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredandchis Posted February 24, 2021 #45 Share Posted February 24, 2021 My wife gets a couple a week and she has mixed emotions. Mostly she says they are good deals but there is nothing out there saying it will sail. And some are way far out and she has 3 for this year in nov and dec thus far. After all the cancellations she is a bit pessimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tea4ular Posted February 27, 2021 #49 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I must have ticked them off...I get no e-mail from them. I'm ok with that actually, it would only make me want to cruise and honestly I'll be among those that wait and see before hopping aboard again, (that actually makes me sad).

It's entirely up to you as to when you sail again. Why not book something for next spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
