captianjscann Posted June 24, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I read on the financial page for Carnival (Symbol: CCL) that they will start charging a $5.00 tender charge. Has anyone been charged for the tender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted June 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wasn't charged in May on the Legend but it just figures.... the next in a long line of nickel-and-dime fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted June 24, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I read on the financial page for Carnival (Symbol: CCL) that they will start charging a $5.00 tender charge. Has anyone been charged for the tender? Could you provide a link to this? Not that we are doubting you, but sometimes its just an indivual stating things as opposed to something the cruiseline itself has announced. I looked at Yahoo Finance and dont see anything like this.

captianjscann Posted June 24, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It was an idividual. That is why I am wondering if there is any truth to this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we are doubting you, but sometimes its just an indivual stating things as opposed to something the cruiseline itself has announced. I looked at Yahoo Finance and dont see anything like this. There are at least 2 posts on the CCL stock message board on Yahoo. I don't think they are any more than trying to stir up trouble. But if prices for oil keep going up it might happen at some point.

firefly333 Posted June 24, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It was an idividual. That is why I am wondering if there is any truth to this at all. Id dismiss it then. We know how many shorts post lies on the message board to stir the pot. They are betting the stock goes down. Maybe its just someone without a clue. Iv seen posts on this forum too that claim they were charged for tenders. usually someone who just gets things wrong and is a newbie here and doesnt know better. Saying its on a financial site, is a lot difference than its a yahoo message board post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted June 24, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It was an individual......... Maybe it was the guy who was on here a few weeks ago that swears he and his family were charged for the tender :eek: :rolleyes: :confused: ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captianjscann Posted June 24, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I leave on my cruise this Saturday with a tender stop. If I am charged we will know if it is/not true. Sounded like a load of junk but I thought I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxette Posted June 24, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2008 This can't be true. The tender "charges" is included in the port charges. Aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_duck Posted June 24, 2008 #14 Share Posted June 24, 2008 IT'S NOT ON THE YAHOO FINANCIAL PAGE!! :mad: Some idiot posted this on the associated forum thinking he was funny. Ignore it. ETA: We already pay the tender fees anyway, the are built into the non-commisionables of any cruise fare involving an itinerary that tenders.

zqvol Posted June 24, 2008 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Can't be done. Maritime law requires that Carnival allow you off the ship at the ports of call. By charging they are not allowing you off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskatab Posted June 24, 2008 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I can totally see in the future if fuel prices keep rising, the cruiselines charging a fuel charge for tenders. It wouldnt surprise me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazd Posted June 25, 2008 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2008 You can't believe how people will pay for anything, I got $ 5 a head and paid for our entire cruise from tender charge. I just made up sign a put out a bucket and people kept throwing money in = I think i'll do a get rich informercial and get rich promoting this (OK JUST KIDDING) I don't think they would get away with that, people don't like tender service anyway and they would never pay for it.

Drew B Posted June 25, 2008 #18 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If the cost to operate the tenders goes up too much due to fuel costs, it will just get kicked back as increased port charges. They won't specifically charge to ride the tenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
