Christine in MO Posted January 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2008 And imagine my shock & surprise to discover not only will we receive a Bon Voyage gift but a $25 OBC credit each ($50 total) for myself & my DH!!!! But the best part? The letter indicated that the staff members mentioned in my letter will received proper recognition and copies of my letter was shared with their immediate supervisors. I sincerely hope that is the case and they are properly recognized for a job well done!!! I had never heard of others getting the additional $25 OBC per person. Does this happen often? I am just so excited!!! I was daydreaming about a cruise I hope will happen in the fall and was even reviewing prices just this morning. Was even a little disappointed that there has been a price increase in the particular cruise that I am looking at taking :( But this makes it all better and has made my day :D Off to check out Carnivals web-site again!!!

lives to cruise Posted January 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Congrats! That is terrific news.:D I just sent a letter off yesterday about my cruise last week. I am not counting on receiving anything but it sure would be nice to have the crew members I noted in my letter get recognition. Congrats again.

CruisinMermaid Posted January 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Congrats! I sent them a letter at the beginning of the month to give kudos to their staff for taking care of us last summer. I'm not sure if we'll be getting anything, but if we do it will be a pleasant surprise. We leave for our next cruise in 63 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiles32617 Posted January 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What's the 45 day letter??? I have never heard of that, maybe it's because I have only been on 1 cruise. Thanks in advance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted January 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What's the 45 day letter??? I have never heard of that, maybe it's because I have only been on 1 cruise. Thanks in advance!!! If you write Carnival a letter with criticism and/or praise regarding a recent previous cruise, sometimes they respond with a letter offering you some sort of gift on your next cruise. it's called a 45 day letter because it asks you to contact Carnival 45 days before your next cruise to set up your gift. They give you several choices to choose from, such as a bottle of wine, drink coupons, photo coupons, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deborahjo Posted January 23, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was told to send mine to this address: Guest Relations Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival Place 3655 NW 87 Avenue Miami, FL. 33178-2428 That is correct. We got four drink coupons for our last cruise. They were great. They made us what ever kind of FOO FOO drink and just put it in a smaller glass for 1 coupon. Got to love those waiters. Then we tipped them a little more on top of what is already on the price of the drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want anything, just wondering if you know what kind of requests you will get with a statement like that...You will need a secretary to keep up with the requests & your friend will probably hate you if you start buggng him/her....Good luck..:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted January 24, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2008 So, is there an expiry date on these? I just remembered mine for my cruise next Jan. and we sailed with them last Jan. It doesn't say anything in the letter though. I'll try no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine in MO Posted January 25, 2008 Author #13 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Mine says 18 months from the date of the letter. I think most are 18 or 24 months from the date of the letter. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAP05 Posted January 27, 2008 #16 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was so surprised to get a 45 day letter today also! Mine is for $25 OBC for myself and $25 obc for my cruise partner. I wrote Carnival about my 1st cruise experience last summer and someone actually read it! I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
