I didn't say Cheers and that offer is long gone

ok, but OP also didn't say "drinks on us", but free "drink package" and that it wasn't a casino offer,so that leave Cheers as very likely to be what they received

If it included free drinks, it is a casino offer.

not always, my SIL had an offer last year that included cheers for free and it was not a casino offer

Is that when you leverage to take advantage of a near term increase in the stock price?

buying put options is betting on price decrease-Feb 2020 was right before the c-19 shutdown.

buying calls is betting for a price increase

Ugh...so I just downloaded app for cruise we just booked for November and it says the sailing has to be before July xx...And to check back in May...So, do they allow it basically 6 months 

the shareholder credit has to be reauthorized every year by the corp. It is currently only authorized to July 2024

OK, if I understand you correctly.   Yes, you can use part of a card and save the rest for later.  This can be done multiple times.  ($500 - $230 = $270, $270 - $75 = $195, $195 - $94.60 = $100.40, etc)  I do not think you can (at least I don't know how) have a $500 gift card use $200 and apply the other $300 to your account.

If you have funds left on a card after paying off the cruise, you would take the card info with you on the cruise and would apply the remaining balance to your on board account either at guest services or using a kiosk.

Someone told me the way around it is to start at the slots, take money from your "bank" (which is charged to your card) and then "cash out" at the slot. Go to the cage and collect your cash money. Then go play the tables.

That would work on the cruise lines that do not charge a fee for slots-some have no fee for slots, but charge at tables

No. The title of the email is foreign currency exchange service discontinuation. Nothing to do with settling accounts. No.bigbdeal. onboard exchange rates were horrible. Always better to use an in network ATM to get bank exchange rates.

You need to read more than  just the title. See 3rd paragraph.

This doesn't look like this is about getting local currency, but NCL is no longer accepting non US$ to settle on board accounts

odd in which way?

In these parts, to qualify as a diner the menu has to be at least 8 pages, not including the daily specials

I don’t see the pay option on the App for my upcoming cruises or on the CP on the website - guess I’m lucky or maybe unlucky?

On the app, press the icon ltp the left of the planner, (head and shoulders) then manage your cruise

Website shows no payment due, and there is no make a payment option, but the app still shows that I owe and has that option.

No, it wouldn't be a concert or anything, it's an eventbrite event. 

Eventbrite is just the ticket vendor, the organizer would determine refund policy, if the event costs that much there may be a policy you can purchase

What type of event? When purchasing tickets many times there is an option to purchase event insurance

This just recently changed to being comp-the Joy after drydock is completed (mid Feb)

Yes, same for us.  We are on Encore later in two weeks and it shows as complimentary on the app.  

(Our Joy cruise in the fall still says a la carte)

I'm on Joy in April, still says a la carte, but when viewing the menu, no prices on the food, just $7 for the milkshake

Ones i have been in, it was agreed in advance that 25% would be kept to account for taxes

Anyone know how to add the gift cards to your spending account? I have $50 left from paying off the cruise and want to add it but they only show credit or cash. 
 

 

Just take the card info with you and you can add it to your onboard account (at guest services or the kiosk)

I just had issues loading a $500 egift card (I received as a present) into Cruise Cash.  Read the limit per cruise is $500, but the system kept saying I was over my limit although I had not “purchased” any Cruise Cash.  So called Fun Shops and they could not figure it out, so they are sending me over to some other department to try and resolve. So, I thought maybe it is because we are getting $150 credit from TA.  So, I just was able to process only up to $350 and any incremental more shows I am over the limit.  Maybe this next department can help, but the online system does seem to aggregate the OBC and Cruise Cash as one.  To avoid any hassles, I may just use the remaining $150 for steak house dinner and cruise bar cash.  I’m on a 15 day cruise, so we will definitely be able to use the funds. Our gratuities alone will total about $480, so the $500 in cruise cash and obc should cover that, assuming the OBC can be used for gratuities.  

No need to buy cruise cash, just wait until you are onboard and have the gift card applied, all you will need is the # and pin. You can save a pdf of the card to your phone, or add it to google or apple wallet

I would not for one second feel bad about a Veteran's service dog being honored, or any other bona fide service dog for that matter.

Exactly!

A dog I could certainly agreed with. I'd be envious of the toddler. I wouldn't see it as mocking.

Yes, and for those that don't recall the story, it was a Veteran's service dog that was honored. Very nice feel good story that the Veterans was able to cruise again because of the dog

Thanks, I actually don't have cards just e-card print out. So guest services it is.

I've had no problems using the kiosk, so try, then if no luck go to guest services. If you dont want to apply the full value on the card, then you must go to guest services

I’m thinking about doing the same thing (cancel and rebook at lower price). When they issue the refund, is it OBC, or does it go back to your bank/credit card? If it goes back to my bank account (I used a debit card) I’m concerned it may take a week to post to my bank and the price may be higher than when I first booked by then.

Most folks doing a cancel/rebook do not wait to receive the refund to rebook for that reason. If you can't repurchase now, you have to decide if the savings are worth taking the chance of another price change

Immediately.

But keep in mind that there can be a bit of a wait for the refund of the first purchase to be processed

The CCL shareholder's annual report says mail, fax, or email.

Email: shareholders@carnival.com.  I submitted my request via email not long ago and it was not a problem.

Yes, but a few weeks ago CCL stated that they will no longer process emailed requests and are now requiring the use of the Stockperks app, either by giving Stockperks access to your brokerage account, or by uploading proof of ownership
