Rare craig01020 Posted December 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Good morning. I recently booked a cruise and placed it on hold. I used the PB4 rate code. I read the details for each rate code and it looks like PB4 is a refundable deposit. This morning I called Carnival to confirm and the agent I spoke with said PB4 is non-refundable and only PNS is refundable. Even though I'm a Carnival novice, I think he's wrong. Anyone have recent experience booking with PB4? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray98 Posted December 6, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2021 When did you book it. It looks like all the PB4 codes expired 11/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markmom18 Posted December 6, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2021 OP, Thanks for this question. I have been using PB4 Rates only to book my cruises for a few years now. I will call Carnival this week to see what they say. I book my cruises a year + in advance, I pay month by month, I don’t like to charge vacations on credit cards. Booking cruises so far in advance I have been known to change my mind. 😁 Of course I understand that changes & cancellations close to cruising date will get those penalties. Thankfully, nothing has ever come up where I HAD to cancel last minute. 🛳🛳 Bobbi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare craig01020 Posted December 6, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I paid the deposit and it is refundable minus fees which won't kick in until much clower to the cruise date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
