we were on the elation in october. the good wife and i gambled some. she it a 1000 points and me, a measley  600 points. well when we got home the e_mails started to come in. we both got the offers. hers was a little better because of her points.

we booked a 8 day on the magic. we up graded  to a cove balcony and the price was $1205.00. that is with the tips and insurance. i thinkit is a great price. we also got the dou while in the casino.

You don't have to gamble to get the deals. I don't gamble at all and have cruises for $15 being offered and I've only sailed Carnival three times. 


  Hi,

 

   So, what advice do you have? I’d like to get the $15 offer too! 😁😁  I’ve cruised more than 3 times on Carnival, maybe they figure I’m a sure thing 🤷🏻‍♀️.

  My hubby and I are on the 7 Day Panorama in March. Total of a regular Balcony, with all taxes, port charges and gratuities. $1,900.

Just passed on a total of $201.86 solo, including ports & taxes on the 7-day PANORAMA . . . not interested in pre-testing or masks on board. Have had all shots and booster. 35 cruises on Carnival. I can wait.

Even if you choose a cruise line that does not require masks, pre-testing is still required and it looks like it'll be awhile till you choose to cruise.

We also got the sweet $25 offer, for a 10-day out of Rome next summer.  Couldn't believe it, and CAN'T WAIT!  We've been to a few of the ports it visits before, but never been to Santorini, Mykonos or Turkey.

 

Are you kidding!  We got some pretty good deals earlier in the year.  Booked an 8 day cruise, balcony, for $100PP.  I would book that trip in a heartbeat.

IMO, cruise lines will be right back to giving them away after the holiday rush(??, lol).  CC'ers are willing to jump thru these hoops...the general public will tend to be one-n-done w/ so many other options out there (including no mask/spacesuit cruise lines).  My opinion only...I tend to follow the $$ (stock/etc), and it tells the story during this so-dreamed 'hi-demand' season.

Carnival wants known spenders on their ships right now.

Even if it means they give the room away. Enjoy!

 

Well... I guess that counts She & Me out then! lol

I can see their point though, trying to claw their way back from Covid losses.

I started getting the $25 offers in October.  Booked one on the Pride in Oct.  Been getting them regularly since.  Next batch was to book/sail through December.  Then extended to January.  Last week we got the $25 offers through March.  So I figure in a couple more weeks the $25 April cruises will come out, which I will book since that is my next vacation window.

 

Heck I already have an MSC cruise booked in April and I am just going to move that out till September 2022 (since it is more expensive), so I can grab these $25 deals while they last.  Or maybe they will continue indefinitely since arrival of Omicron and who knows what that will do to summer cruising.

Booked a $25 cruise for January a couple weeks ago, next day the low prices were gone, wondering if it was only one cruise they were offering it for?

I think that once you book a cruise at that low rate, they don't offer it again to you until you have taken the cruise.  I had the same happen to me.  I booked a $25 cruise for October.  The low rates disappeared after that.  Since returning, I've been getting the $25 cruise offers again.

Hopefully that happens to me!

Not sure how hard it is to change sailings but if you can get the time off and have if you have two eligible offers, but if you do, consider rebooking to the 10/11 sailing which is the same itinerary out of Rome, then book the next sailing for a B2B which is a 9 night repositioning which ends in Portugal.  I tried, I can't get 3 weeks off

Saturday, October 15    Izmir, Turkey    7:00am    5:00pm
Sunday, October 16    Santorini, Greece    8:00am    5:00pm

ugh, I want the cruise fairies to send me some of these $25 offers, especially Europe.........guess once they saw I was willing to pay more since September and keep booking, they figured no need. I played bingo one time and get Bingo offers, which aren't anything to brag about lol. Oh well, at least I am cruising.
