uva1981 Posted September 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hello everyone! Question for all who have dealt with "past guest" promotions and/or incentives. About 8 months ago I booked a cruise on Freedom leaving next week. As a past guest I noted my past guest number on the booking docs. For the last several weeks I have had multiple conversations with Carnival about this and I have been advised that since the sailing is sold out there are no incentives or other promotions available. Does this sound right? I thought even some shipboard credit would be appropriate. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can incentives sell out or become unavailable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.:) Past guest promos, just like any other promotion, are capacity controlled and can close out at any time. If a sailing is sold out, there are no promotions available because there is no availability. Hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.:) More than half to three quarters of the people are past guest's so it means little.More than half of those are Gold members and a handfull are Platinum. On my last cruise,there were 17 of us who had Platinum.Seems a little low though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinronnie Posted September 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Last year I saved several hundred dollars on a past guest promotion and with the same PVP this year there was no past guest promos available. It all depends on the ship and itinerary is how it was explained to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted September 5, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Not every ship or sailing has a past guest promo... and as mentioned, they are capacity controlled. Yes, it sounds right, they aren't going to give incentives and promos if they aren't having trouble filling the ship, they usually offer them some time out, to get the ship filling.
