jetsfan58 Posted February 27, 2021 #51 Share Posted February 27, 2021 We get both email and USPS mail. I still enjoy reading what's coming and the progress being made. Hopefully this amped up marketing blitz will not add to the price of cruising. Somebody's gotta pay for the paper and postage being sent out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted February 28, 2021 Author #53 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Today's 'shpiel' is that I'm lucky they extended the offer! lol It's amazing what they can come up with but I guess it works on a few people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGirlJen Posted February 28, 2021 #54 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I notice that whenever I log in to the Carnival website I will get an email shortly thereafter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz123 Posted February 28, 2021 #55 Share Posted February 28, 2021 NOthing like getting an email about the "NEW" cruise deal on Friday, and discover the cruise is cancelled on Monday. Come on Man.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted March 6, 2021 Author #62 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Every email from Carnival carries this dire warning about how your cruise could be cut short, etc. but this time I actually read it, down to the end! It is not pleasant! and if people actually read it they'd think twice before actually booking a cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrounds Posted March 6, 2021 #66 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I get at least one a day, also. Sometimes two . . . most are for free CHEERS (I'm not much of a drinker anymore) or Australian cruises . . . nothing out of the West Coast, although I'm booked on the PANORAMA November. I don't mind . . . easy to delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted March 7, 2021 #67 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Has anyone else noticed that most if not all of these "great offers" are all reduced deposits meaning they are non refundable deposits. You decide you want to cancel and they keep your money. No thanks. I keep getting offers for cruises with free WiFi. I must be slow but what in the world does FOMO mean?

I also had no idea of what that acronym meant, so I checked with my friend google. It is fear of missing out (of the fun). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MississippiMom Posted March 11, 2021 #69 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So many travel related emails in my inbox . . . cruise lines and airlines. Carnival is the only one that also calls us. They leave lovely voice mail messages, and, sometimes, I pick up and let the rep know that we aren't ready to book, yet. I have posted on CC before that a $25 deposit is what we are willing to gamble. Sorry, Carnival, but $50 per person deposit is still too much for cruises that might never happen. We will just wait to book for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're willing to possibly roll the dice for 100.00 on a pessimistic cruise in your opinion, but not 200.00. You have the right to be seriously conservative and not risk that extra hundred bucks, but if a hundred bucks for four people is what is holding you back, you would be better off just taking land based vacations for the next five years until cruising comes back to where it was previously.

glrounds Posted March 12, 2021 #72 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I get a kick out of them. Sometimes I actually open them and find out all the restrictions and conditions, sometimes it's old hat and something that's offered ANYTIME. Easy to delete. Interesting to know that they have such an interest in this cheap cruiser - - a beer a day, no ship tours EVER, seldom gamble, and cheapest inside cabin, etc. :-) Edited March 12, 2021 by glrounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 12, 2021 Author #73 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yesterday it was.. I had to check out my March VFIP newsletter! Today it's... Lucky ME, because it's Carnival's birthday month!
