momsbusy Posted July 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Can you get a really good deal by booking your next cruise while on board your current cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzman Posted July 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Depends on what you mean by a "good deal". You get a reduced deposit and on board credit and you can transfer the booking to any TA if you wish. Personally, I always take advantage of on board bookings when I can, as I think they are a very good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked...!!:eek: I like to pick up brochures about 'new' itineraries, etc., but nothing...:o Was I looking in the wrong place?? ps: I have booked a Princess cruise (or two) since our return, so all has worked out OK..!:) Looking forward to a slight change!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted July 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ok, wrong info here. There are 2 options. 1. Book a future cruise on board, full deposit is required. An on board credit is applied and you will be given 2 vouchers for friends and family to receive the same OBC if they book the same cruise as you within 60 days. 2. You can leave a $100 deposit and in return you will receive a future cruise certificate. When you book the next cruise you will mail the certificate to Carnival. $100 will be deducted from your balance due and the appropriate on board credit will be applied. This certificate is valid for 5 years and fully refundable if not used. These options are only available on the Valor, Freedom, Liberty, Conquest and Splendor.

Legend Posted July 14, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 14, 2009 A TA is a travel agent. By the way bookings now have to be transferred within 30 days of booking...that's the newest rule on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicia Posted July 14, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2009 TA is Travel Agent. We bought four certificates in March and have already used two of them. If you plan on taking a Carnival cruise within the next 5 years you can't lose. And if you don't use them in five years you can get your money back. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

momsbusy Posted July 14, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks, I should have figured out the TA thing! If we have the chance on our cruise, we're doing it! Every bit of savings helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
