I read an earlier post about Carnival having an agreement with Amtrak giving cruisers a discount. I called today and got 20% taken off of our trainfare to New Orleans!! I know its not a lot, but hey.... $40 here.... $40 there.... its starting to add up!!!

 

Thanks!!! If I had not read it here, I would never have known!!!

I had no idea, I have family traveling from Orlando to Miami for our upcoming cruise and I may mention it to them as an adventure on the way to the ship - thanks for sharing

 

Hey 40.00 is several drinks of the day :D

Call Carnival and they will tell you the code to use. I got it from Carnival. They may need their booking number (Carnival said I would, but the lady didn't ask me for it).

 

I had to use the Amtrak automated system, which did not accept the fare code. So I said agent about 3 or 4 times and I was transferred to an agent who took care of everything for me!!

 

Email me if you have any questions!!

AAA also gets you a substantial discount on Amtrak. I am planning on taking Amtrak from FLL to Orlando after my Freedom Cruise on January 10, 2010 and spending a couple of days at Disney (I have an AP - so I can come and go as I please). Then fly out of Orlando.
