e&mcruise Posted September 9 #1 Share Posted September 9 From what I understand, despite paying double the fare for a Solo cruiser (we have two cabins, 1 with 2 people, 1 with one person at exactly same cost in QG) on an upcoming TA, the OBC is per person not per stateroom so does not double for a solo passenger.....how is this fair?

OBC is per cabin for Carnival. Check the ts&Cs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent years, I've always seen per stateroom for special offers, but that isn't set in stone. And that's US. I don't know what the offers are like for other countries. For the current Big Balcony Event (US), the OBC is per stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are correct. The Cunard Sale promo OBC can vary . I mainly wanted to point out just how many OBC offers are available . If you use a Good TA , purchase FCD's , are a Shareholder , Military or Veteran , watch for Sales, OBC can add up to a big $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly have to be an informed consumer! I do watch for sales. I just refared a cruise using the Labor Day sale and saved 25% of my original booking price. I think that's the best price drop I've seen for something I've already booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted September 9 #13 Share Posted September 9 I think it's VIP, when referring to any discount offers/obc/ drink promotions/ fare matches etc etc, the country of origin should be stated as the UK v US for instance seem to have differing t&cs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has been any different. I don’t like paying double or 175% as a solo for my cabin but if I want to cruise then that’s the cost to me. I have never had double OBC. Depending on the offer if it’s per person it’s just one allowance and per cabin well speaks for its self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
