But I do not think the price quoted by Mysticalmother was for 1 nt pre cruise and 16 NTS parking for £152. I think she was being charged £152 for parking as she was staying pre cruise but that was not included in that price.
But even if you just pay for parking at Elizabeth House and do not stay pre cruise at £180 for 15 days is not cheap. At £225 for 1nt pre cruise breakfast, 15 days parking and return taxis at Chilworth Manor is excellent value for money.
If you apply for shareholder benefit then the cruise line issues a new invoice including benefit to TA. It is not the TA who issues new invoice just forward it on and should do that automatically if yours doesn't do that then I would get a new TA.
If Shareholder OBC benefit is about to be ended in July, which nobody officially knows it is all guesswork. Why have Carnival negotiated a contract to administer applications for benefit with Stockperks if they are going to end paying benefits.
The price quoted by Elizabeth House in July for 1nt pre cruise and 14nts parking is £373.50 which is a considerable amount. You have to price 1nt stay and parking separately and then add together to get inclusive price. £193.50 for room and £180 just for parking.
That is expensive when you can use an established and highly reviewed meet and greet at port where they take your car to their secure compound close to docks and return your car to terminal. Parking4Cruises is virtually the same and only charges £130-£140 for 14 NTS and is virtually the same as CPS.
No problem you can check out of your room by 11am and then sit in small area or dining area nr reception for as long as you want. You can also get coffee/tea free from machines in restaurant. We sat there until 1pm last year with no problems and some Americans who also stayed at hotel didn't have a boarding time until 3pm and we're staying in hotel.
