Suzij11 Posted October 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2004 So, I just got off the phone with CCL. They told me you only get a free 2 yr subscription to Currents... then you have to pay for it? What's up with that? RCL sends you the mags all the time.... anyone heard of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetcharlotte30 Posted October 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2004 WOW, I heard it was only 1 year and that equates to 3 magazines. I still haven't seen any yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkorman Posted October 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Doesn't make sense to me that they would not want to keep these going out to past passengers. Someone who has cruised is more likely to get onboard again than someone who has not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted October 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I figured out how to work around that. I just cruise every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted October 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2004 On Carnival's website, if you click onto 'Currents magagine', it now says it's a ONE year subscription after your cruise. I'm still waiting for my last two Currents:p ....but before then, I've always gotten mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted October 5, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I figured out how to work around that. I just cruise every year.Me too. I mean, if you don't cruise with them for 15 years, would you really expect them to keep sending it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkorman Posted October 5, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2004 15 years is kind of extreme, but I would consider a Carnival cruise once ever few years. Not my cup a tea to sail them every year, but still like to be current on their news. I suppose I find out most info before I get the magazine anyway.

Cruising89143 Posted October 6, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Maybe it's just me but I get both Carnival and RCI's magazine and think neither one of them are that impressive. For a cruise line to only put out a magazine three times a year they could do a lot better. There is no way that I would pay for what they send out now.

stlrboo Posted October 6, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting... :( Got a couple after my first cruise, but nothing since.. I'm sure it's a conspiracy, and they figure if I'm going to keep cruising with Carnival, why send him a magazine??!! :rolleyes: Still waiting, 'tho ...

Zeta3 Posted October 6, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have been cruising Carnival at least once a year for the past 10 years and getting a Currents mag has been hit or miss the entre time. Not great past guest service whch is one of the reasons we are looking at moving to Princess next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted October 6, 2004 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I was told you receive it for a year following your cruise. I must be the lucky one, I started getting mine right after my first cruise and have never missed one. I'm with one of the previous posters, plan a cruise a year and you'll never miss it lol's! The last one (got 2 weeks ago) had great specials for past cruisers. We got upgraded from the lowest level balcony to the panoramic deck w/ an extended balcony and saved $70 each! During spring break time. Happy Cruising! Donna Elation 2002 Ecstasy 2003 Pride 2004 (had to cancel) Spirit 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miclane001 Posted October 7, 2004 #15 Share Posted October 7, 2004 It's almost been a year since my first Carnival cruise and I haven't gotten one yet! However, it's been more than a year since my first NCL cruise and I'm still getting their magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
