Anyone else having problems logging into their account?  I get this error:

I purchased Carnival EGift card 2 days ago.  Order shows as being placed and charge to my credit card, but haven't received the EGift card yet and order doesn't show any other info. Curious how long it's taken for others to receive their Carnival EGift cards.

really? That’s the code I got today as well. And it worked for me.

What's strange is I got a pop-up that code was invalid, but now went back and checked and it shows as posted to my account.

Didn't work for me - thanks for sharing. 

Strange - got the pop-up that code was invalid or expired, but checked and saw it posted to my account.  

I believe the Carnival Cruise Lines and Carnival Corp creates confusion. Carnival Corp is probably laying off thousands. With 18 less ships that's go to be lots of people not needed.

Guess we'll miss seeing you for a year. I can deal with that for a year until vaccine is finalized and allows life to get back to normal.

Thanks to all!  Its good to see that variations on a (code) theme are working again.

 

I also got 2500 points for the 20bonus20.  Who knows why they slipped in an extra 500 points on that variation.

But two others posted they got 1500 and 2000, so was just asking if this was now somehow variable and perhaps more to come like that.

I got 2500.  So is this a variable reward code? 

 

Typical, things get worse whenever government steps in vs letting business make policies.

CUK is still showing a dividend, where CCL is not (at least on Fidelity). So, since it's about $3 per share lower, I went with CUK strictly to get the OBC on our 14 day Jan Panama Canal cruise. Dividends are never guaranteed, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's canx soon. I own a few other ADRs and there are fees involved along with it bein a pita at tax time (Foreign taxes withheld). Soooo, if you're a buy n hold, think I'd go with CCL.

So, are you saying that it is better to buy CUK when they are lower than CCL because ultimately they have the same "rights"?  

They were committed to August 1 for months. They change plans as conditions indicate. This is a fluid situation. Florida is a virus hotspot again.
 
I’ll be surprised if any of the big boys sail before January 1.

Yes, I own both.  You can combine them to get to your 100.  CUK tends to trade slightly lower than CCL.  Not sure why.

This provides an explanation. If/when Carnival pays a dividend again, CUK will give a better % yield since it trades lower but has same dividend payout.  And for Shareholders OBC, it also works out better as it gives same OBC.

The more likely reason has to do with the two stocks' respective connections to their home markets. The stock tickered CCL is a member of the S&P 500 index, so any index funds tied to the S&P 500 have to own shares of that stock. Meanwhile, the stock tickered CUK tracks the price of the London-listed shares that are included in the U.K.'s premier FTSE 100 index. When the U.S. stock market overall looks more attractive than the U.K. market, then CCL shares will fetch a higher price. When the U.K. market is in favor, then CUK shares can take their turn in the lead.

Either is fine. Right now CUK is trading at lower price that CCL, but same benefits.

I believe these are all planned sales. The Fantasy class ship appears to be Ecstasy and that has well been known to be leaving Carnival's fleet as last sailing was already announced.

Depending on your payment, you may be able to file a dispute if you paid with credit card for a chargeback.

People talk about cruise lines going bankrupt. Bankruptcy is a US court supervised event, only for US companies. Cruise lines are not US, so they can't just go bankrupt. They just file insolvency and cease operations. So that's even worse for those waiting for refund or holding gift card.

Non-us companies have to petition the US Courts to hear their case and then for them to supervise. I'd guess that the cruise lines would take that step but who's to say what may or may not happen in current environment.

I didnt even list that as a option. Obc is onboard credit. FCC is different
 
Rcl is also offering lift and shift to a year later to protect your price, in some case way better.
 
I just read of someone booking a old ship I think empress owners suite for 3k, and moved it to a new expensive ship where the price would have been 12k or something.
 
I booked a balcony on jewel, solo  one set of taxes, $1008, where I'm waiting for a lift and shift to allure which would have been double. I was offered a inside group price on allure for just under $1500, so heck yea I'll take a balcony for 1k including taxes. 
 
That's what I meant by lift and switch ... offer to protect your price PLUS give you obc (which is onboard credit) ... offer to move you to a later date when the ship is finished.
 
But no, I agree, a fcc would not be enough.. I think you got what I said about giving obc, mixed up with fcc. 

Well rcl offers 3 options I've seen. One was $250 obc to move to another ship. That's the one I'd take.
 
Of course some will cancel. Rcl also might offer it like a lift and switch, a hear later.
 
RCL delayed building terminal 3 in Galveston which was to be built for allure to come. 1 year delay. Rcl  might send another ship or offer that you can take allure out of another port. Obviously if they delay getting started building a terminal big enough to board allure, some of us are talking. 
 
Just saying there might be alternatives to cancelling offered. Idk what carnival does, only seen what rcl did. Just saying if you are offered obc to take another ship, some might, I would. 
 
I'm kinda on the fence with Oct 2021 radiance, partial panama transit. Everything I read says radiance refit is scrapped... so what can I expect that means.

 

I'm sure a bunch of money is withheld until the cruise line actually takes delivery of the ship.

Mardi Gras is being built by a different company, in a different ship yard, in a different country from Radiance.
 
AFAIK, that shipyard never closed.
