0rly Posted April 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I know that someone might have the answer to my question. Why does Carnival hold the Fun ship Dollars that someone purchases for OBC until 2 months before their cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted April 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have never had them hold any of our Funship Dollars :eek:. Once purchased I have always gotten a certificate for the amount (50.00 or 100.00) and I take it on board and apply it to our S&S account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0rly Posted April 20, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I guess I should clarify. When you ask them to hold them in house and apply them directly to your S&S account and not have them sent to you. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess.....but maybe it is because they do not set up the S&S accounts until after final payment - which is about 2 months out??? I have never done Funship Dollars that way - I have always gotten the certificate because they are usually a gift ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poobears Posted April 20, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes I think it has to do with the final payment date. Even if you pay your cruise off early they wont' apply until after that final date has passed. Also from what I understand there are very few people that actually work that dept (10 if I remember right) so they apply them to the soonest cruising first. Even after your final payment date it may take a while to get them applied. It can take weeks like our last ones did. They said not to panic until 10 days out, if they weren't posted by then we should call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie05 Posted April 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I ordered for my last cruise and included by booking number. They were applied to my S&S, I got a follow up email from the gift department letting me know they would do. It was easy. Try a search under Funship Dollars - I got the idea from a post last October (or then abouts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
