I´ve been waiting for VIFP offers now for a couple of weeks. I did 3 cruises on Carnival, so it is a RED tier status. Anyone who knows if the VIFP offers are not always  displayed or anything wrong with my status ? 
Thanks and my best from Germany 👋

Always wondered how some of these travel sites can offer better comps than Carnival .  Saw one for 100 obc plus room price was $200 less than Carnival website?

Typically the answer is they 'buy in bulk' from Carnival with set minimums in terms of cabins booked. IF they see that they aren't meeting their own quotas, they'll eat into their commission. I certainly don't know any details but sometimes one can get a good deal that way. That was particularly true during the height of the Covid restart.

Yes, Its interesting...I spoke to our VIP Carnival Rep, and she could not come close to matching the offer from the third party. Strange....

Last booking I did ( 8 days Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao in November 2024) had 500 $ onboard credit for VIFP. Had to cancel it and hoped to find anything similar for cruise in Feb 25.

We booked 2 cruises 3 weeks ago at $500 obc for each cruise. Now we have no good offers. I keep checking the price but if I change it I will loose the obc.

 

Are you booking suites to get the $500 OBC?

No they are regular balcony’s. We booked them first week in October. My friend still has the same offer if she wants to book another one.

 

I still have them as well, but has to 9 day or longer cruise for the $500 OBC.
