Ralphinsc Posted February 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Currently have a couple of Carnival cruises booked and we are eyeballing a cruise aboard the Mardi Gras in June 2023. Is there any benefit that would make it worthwhile to wait and book while onboard versus just grabbing it online during a good sale? Is doing such a thing even pushed anymore? Are they offering any good OBC deals or benefits, or does the Future cruise booking onboard now just mirror what offers you can get online? Thanks in advance!

Pyxie Posted February 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Not really a thing anymore. I'd just go ahead and book if you are happy with the price. Edited February 21, 2022 by Pyxie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted February 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2022 For quite a while now, Carnival does not offer the future cruise desks. What you do get is a special offer when you return that is normally good for a couple of weeks after the end of your cruise. Whill it be better than other deals offered? There is no way for me to know what deals you are getting, so I couldn't say. These normally have some sort of OBC included. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even get especially good deals and the welcome back deal I got wasnt worth anything. Worthless for me. ..though with masks coming off and the time of year cruise deals may start drying up and prices rise. I got the deal during my cruise lol.

Ralphinsc Posted February 21, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thanks! Seems I may want to go ahead and grab the cruise now or at worst wait to see if there is a bounceback offer after my April cruise. No rush either way well over a year out.

Book early saver so you can price match .. but imo the offer from cruising hasnt been worth anything. Other prices are better. The offer I think said up to 35% off ... and I had up to 40% offers showing. ..so what I already have was better.

vwrestler171 Posted February 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It seems the deal i got for coming back from my cruise is the same as the "Funderstruck" sale that is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
