BuckeyeMan

I just called Carnival and they stated gift cards had to be put on your account on the ship. Could not be done in advance.

But I do live your pic. Go Bucks!

Yes.

I have three $100 gift cards and would love to add them to my account to save having to take the cards on the ship. How can I get this accomplished? Can it be done online? Or do I need to call Carnival?

We are going on that cruise in a couple weeks. Will try to follow-up after the cruise.

I have 3 gift cards and would like to get them applied to my account before sailing. Can I login to my account and add the cards myself? Of do I need to contact Carnival to have them add the cards to my account?

Thanks in advance.

So I can carry a 12pack of pop back on the ship from Nassau or Freeport? No issues there?

Works on windows 10 and Edge. If you have windows 10 try edge.

How was your dinners? Did you do early or later or MTD? Any good advice for tables in the dining room? How was the food? How as the ettertainment? Comedy club?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey! We are cruising on 6 March to the Bahamas on the Victory in an extended aft #7425. Is that the room you had? Never had an extended aft before. How was it?

We are on that cruise also. Keep the details coming on the cruise. Very interested.

With ya 100%. Must be a Buckeye thing.

Anyone have any thoughts on cabin 8395 or a cabin somewhat close? Our friends are in that cabin while we are in 1050 but on the Victory. Thought they would be similar being same class and all. Very curious about thoughts on cabin 8395.

Thanks in advance.

Just bought 3 - $100 cards on verizon.

They are available on verizon now. Only saw the $100 cards.

How many shares do you need to own?

I have no experience with either but 1050 looks far enough in.

The other seems a few doors over so may not be an issue. Only comment i found for that deck included this..

If you're in one of the Victory's Verandah Deck cabins in the aft sections, you can occasionally hear the scraping of deck chairs being rearranged above you on Lido deck. This is not a problem during the daytime hours, but it can awaken light sleepers after midnight until 6 AM when the crew is cleaning the Lido deck public spaces. Once again, we suggest you may prefer to find a cabin elsewhere on the ship, or, bring earplugs or a wave machine.

Many thanks for the time to answer. A little concerned on the 8th deck cabin. Fingers crossed.

Anyone? Looking at the deck layouts 1050 looks ok. Not sure about the other one with it being close to an elevator.

Any thoughts on either cabin?

Anyone have any thoughts on these two cabins? We are in 1050 and friends in 8395. Will 1050 be too close to the pool? Any issues with either locations?

First cruise with Carnival so any help would be much appreciated.

I don't believe it has reached Victory yet. Sailing it March 6th. CAn anyone confirm it is not on Victory?

Concluding that upsells are rare or infrequent because of a small amount of "upsell fairy" posts on Cruise Critic is inaccurate. The Cruise Critic community represents 1% maybe 2% of the 4 million people who cruise Carnival yearly or ever have cruised with Carnival.

 

I'm fairly good friends with a woman who works full time as an Upsell Fairy at Carnival HQ and she produces about $1 Million dollars of annual revenue for the Upsell Department. And she has 8 co-workers in her department doing around the same amount of business or more. And they are all primarily compensated by commission. So somebody is getting the calls and taking the offers.

 

Carnival has 24 ships with 60,000 berths sailing each week. Their schedule is out into mid 2017 so there are lots of upsell opportunity calls going out every day.

 

Just because you or someone you know or frequent CC posters who represent a teensie minority never got "the call" doesn't mean they are not actively happening.

 

As to the OP's question about a free upgrade... fuggetaboutit.

Can she shed any light on strategies if one does receive a call? If they offer it at $xxx will they come down on the price? Any tips?

Not sure when but we are cruising out of PC on Victory leaving March 6th so sometime before then.

We did it for our coming up cruise. We just got our cabin assigned. It's an 8e balcony room 9406.

Still waiting on our cabin assignment and we are cruising March 6th out of PC. Wonder when we will get our cabin assignment.

It is definitely pop here in Buckeye country. Wish my wife could get the pop package and I get the cheers package... oh well.

If I have to cancel our cruise what does insurance cover? On-board credit? Soda package purchases? Pre-paid tips? Of just the cruise?

Does Carnival give any incentives to book an upcoming cruise while on-board? I know Royal does but wasn't sure of Carnival's policy. If so can I ask what the incentive might be?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Depending on how bad the bathroom looked I would try to clean it up a little and still tip the steward about $20 to $40 . The worst drunk I ever saw on a cruise started stripping on the stage after the past guest party now that is something you can not clean away .

Do give details on this show. Curious how it worked out for the person on stage.
