trying to book online on Carnivals web

[cotton32563]

or at least get a price - :) and decide from there. I have the Currents magazine in front of me. I have selected one of the cruises offered in Currents - the web page asks for a Promotional code - Currents says to request Fare code XXXX - when I enter the fare code I am told it is not valid - :confused: - Am I missing something?? The offer is good until march 31

You might have to call them. We tried to book online for our cruise and eventually had to just call.

Thanks - I was trying to avoid calling if I could - just wanted to check pricing before I made a decission - why do things have to be so difficult :(

Rread the fine print. They can pull that fare code at anytime based on availability.. Best to request a call.

That fine print will get you every time - :rolleyes:

but they publish their fare codes with a "C" in front of three letters. Drop the "C" and enter the remaining three letters....

Their website tends to have glitches. My dad tried to order something for our room and couldn't do it either b/c of the website.

You have to understand those Currents prices are not at all set in stone. They still might have the deal but with different rates/upgrades. There might be a different past guest fare code. There may be resident rates or something else you qualify for that's better. Without getting a person on the phone with access to live inventory and pricing, you're shooting in the dark. Your aversion to communicating with a live body could cost you money..

There website is a pain sometime. I have been trying to book excursions on line out of 4 stop can only book one stop. But I guess it could be worse I could not be going on a crusie in 81 days.

Happy days:)

Sorry about that. I had no idea. He was so helpful to me I though he may have been helpful to OP. Why is it that you can't do that ? Do you know?

Anyways, thanks .. I didn't know.
