cruisevers Posted July 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Has anyone booked their next cruise while on a cuise? I have not seen much about this but have heard there are good deals. Is this true? What has anybody gotten as incentives?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonal1 Posted July 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Unless it's an unbelievable deal, there is no (financial) advantage to booking another cruise while on a CARNIVAL ship. The only benefit would be to get a desired stateroom. RCI does give you an shipboard credit of $100 (for a 7-night cruise) when you book onboard.

cruisevers Posted July 12, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Any others who have done this? Looking at booking the Liberty for next year and want to get the best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzrdi Posted July 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I booked another cruise while on the Triumph in May of this year. Got a good price, plus shipboard credit and can change the dates or ship with no penalty within a 9 (?) month ( I think - can't remember) time period.

judyjbest Posted July 12, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2004 They state that if you book while on the cruise, you will be guaranteed the dining time you request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomD Posted July 12, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2004 They state that if you book while on the cruise, you will be guaranteed the dining time you request. Guaranteed dining time wouldn't be enough for me. Besides who ever didn't get the dining time they wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyjbest Posted July 12, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Tom D: I totally agree with you. That's the only reason I've ever heard given to book while on the cruise. We thought perhaps there'd be some special deal, so we talked to the pursers about booking. No special deals at all, just pick your dining time and we'll give it to you.

tutak Posted July 12, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I don't know how Carnival works, but on Princess, you can book a "phantom" cruise (no specified date). You only put down $100 deposit, you get a onboard credit, you can transfer the booking number to your T/A. You can then have the T/A find you the best price on whatever cruise you pick and the onboard credit applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTerry14 Posted July 12, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2004 RCI does give you an shipboard credit of $100 (for a 7-night cruise) when you book onboard. This is a great thing about RCI. However after eight Carnival cruises, we have never had an opportunity to book while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
