Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You would need to call... the rate code doesn't show in your booking anywhere which makes it difficult I know
  2. Oh my that is sad! I watch mine all the time and will submit the form or call my PVP even if it is $20. I figure better my pocket to spend on board. Sadly, mine just keep going up. If you have a good PVP a lot of times it just take a call to them and the form is easy to fill out. It does all depend on your rate code though. Not all rate codes qualify for the price match (after the 48hr guarantee already mentioned above). Early Saver does for sure, and you can price match right up to the time you sail basically.
  3. I have found that if I am changing to something that is a little more expensive they are far more agreeable to waiving the change fee (50/pp), but again it depends on your rate code you booked under and if you are within the payment cut off time frame or not as to what you might be penalized. Some are completely non refundable. If you try to change to a different cruise that is less money you likely will encounter more resistance and stricter adherence to the penalty policy.
  4. I think if you contact them right away and it is within 24 hours you probably have a much better chance.
  5. I think they can tell when you submit it versus what was available then. If it was me I would take a screen shot of it with the date and time showing on the screen shot and have it for back up.
  6. Logging out - clearing your cookies - and then logging back in does it sometimes too.
  7. Am I reading this right. You rebooked a cruise you already had booked because you didn't see the original booking in your cruise manager 😲
  8. There have been many forum discussions on this one. I will say, and seems to be a lot of consensus on it, with the "issues" they have keeping their regular site operating properly adding an app to the equation seems disastrous at best 🤣
  9. We have had a balcony on another ship that was larger and would accommodate a lounger but only had regular chairs. I asked our room steward the first day and he was able to have a lounger put on the balcony for us. I don't think they would do this for a normal size balcony as there really is not a lot of room, but larger balconies a request doesn't hurt.
  10. When you go to buy your cheers package you will enter your gift card. Once paid you will have the $75.54 balance left on the gift card. You can make a note on it and then save it and use it next time as you wish. If you want, you CAN also go buy yourself cruise cash. You can not give yourself OBC. However, cruise cash is sold in increments of $25, $50, $75, $100. So you could buy yourself $75.00 in cruise cash. That would leave $.54 on the gift card too. This cruise cash is then "in the bank" like OBC when you get onboard. However, if you do not use all the cruise cash you buy you lose it. There are ways to "cash it out" on board, but that is another discussion. Be careful, and make sure if you do this you buy cruise cash and not the cruise BAR cash. There is a difference. Cruise Cash can be used on ANYTHING on board that you swipe your sail and sign card for (stores, bars, casino, etc). Bar is just that, only for drink purchases at a BAR. The easiest thing is just to take it with you with the balance left and then once on board the ship you can have it applied to your account via a kiosk or at guest services. I myself do add "cruise cash" to my accounts as I know I will spend what I add and I personally like having the money in the bank when I get on board and do not have to worry about carrying/losing/etc. gift cards. Once it is added to my account as cruise cash it is there and ready before I ever get on. But to each their own. You can also save it and use it for payment on a future cruise you may book as well if you think you will sail again. It can be used on board, or for payment for the cruise cost itself.
  11. Yea, don't know why but sometimes they "disappear" and you have to add them back again. Stops your heart for a second for sure! First thought is OMG someone cancelled my cruise!
  12. Every now and then I LOVE my bacon like this. I hate how the bacon is usually so overcooked it is hard as a rock and beyond too crispy. I would take mine like this all day long 😁
  13. No, but you can purchase these direct from carnival if you want to. Often though, depending on the port a taxi or uber is a better option anyhow. Cost can be better and you don't have to deal with / wait for a bus load of people.
  14. You are correct, because if someone in the category cancels then the category is no longer sold out. 😁 As long as at least one room is open for that category at a lower price you can price match.
