WOW! What an offer from Carnival Player's Club!

An offer we sadly have to refuse...

Got a letter today offering inside cabins for $100 PER STATEROOM and $100 OBC!

The letter offers several ships/sailings from 5-7 days!

We are booked on a b2b aboard the Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas in Nov/Dec, and a Vegas trip in January - hoping this offer comes back in Feb/March!

If you're a Player's Club member - log in with your number and see if you have the same offers!

Yes. Although I'm happy you received this offer, it is sad to see that every other week there is a new free cruise offer. At least this one is severely discounted with an onboard credit equal to the cruise fare whose face value is not as much to the company. Carnival is currently struggling to fill the ships and are now scrambling to add as many complimentary bookings as possible. Staterooms are perishable and can't be replaced per sailing. If it's empty, it's empty. Carnival has resulted to these complimentary cruise fares in an effort to increase onboard revenue to match expect revenue per sailing (similarly to the guarantee when fully chartering a ship) and an opportunity for the cast to earn money through the optional automatic gratuities that supplement the low (low to you, but high for their home locale) wages, as Carnival does not cover empty rooms and tables.

We have received a few of these free cruise offers from Carnival, but ultimately decided not take them up on their offer.

The casino is a money maker for Carnival. Casinos in Las Vegas comp all kinds of things including rooms and meals. Why would a cruise line be any different?

Not all free cruise offers are coming from Ocean Players Club. For instance, your Diamond offer came from Carnival, as was the offer extended to many Platinum guests. The waves of free cruises earlier in the year that many received were also from Carnival Cruise Lines directly.

I just got an offer for 50 pp with 100.00 OBC so all we have to pay is taxes and port charges. It's an inside but were able to get port holes. Whoop whoop and it's a 8 day cruise on the Breeze over Christmas. I can't believe it. You bet I booked it :)

We also received one of the offers and decided to book a balcony for $120 per person...then add port charges and taxes plus they gave us $100 ship board credit. Yeah!!

These days they are all through the casino. There has not been a repeat of the Diamond offer. There is no need to confuse people with offers that don't exist.

Allow me to summarize. The link is to expired offers.

Promotions from a month aren't recent anymore? Okay.

Expired offers that aren't even on topic.

I got this offer in the mail and I am already booked (and paid in full) on the 11/9 Conquest cruise which is on the list.

You guys think I have any chance of still getting that $100 OBC? :D

I had to jump on that offer- I'm on the Breeze on 12/6 in an outside cabin for 80.00 (I'm traveling solo unless I find someone). It still costs to get to the ship and a room for the night before but that's not too bad.

Booked 2 cruises.....Nov. Freedom and Splendor in Jan....maybe do Christmas too, cant decide yet!! Retired and live in Florida :D :p :D

I had not been offered anything like this before. Probably because I lost some money in the Casino in August is the reason why I received the offer.

Depends on when you booked. On this offer you had to to between 10/3 - 10/30.

The offer says $100 obc plus extras. Anyone know what the extras are?

I too had a lot of dates to pick from between October and January. I ended up taking the Christmas on the Breeze and in January doing the Freedom. Both are ships we haven't sailed on yet and the price was fantastic. Only did the inside staterooms, but I am completely satisfied with that.

Though my sister also got the offers, neither of my parents did nor did my husband. Odd on who they send them to. I don't really spend all that much in the casino and last cruise was myself, sister and my parents. I think we were all about equal in the casino, though I have more Carnival cruises than the others do.

Would have been nice if my parents had been offered the Christmas Cruise because they would have jumped on it.

$100 on board credit

not many rooms or dates left

Called and got a 7 day cruise on the Sunshine for only $124 per person.

We booked on 10/6. I guess I have to call carnival to get the OBC?
