Your travel agent can prepay the gratuities using your gift card.   

Does anyone remember if the restaurants have kids menus?   We are in port from 8am-10pm so will be eating at the resort.   All of the menus on the website don’t show a kids menu.   Looking for hot dogs or chicken nuggets.

My credit card had a great points for Carnival gift card rate, so I got $2000 worth of gift cards for "free."  Unfortunately, it was sent as twenty $100 cards. Spent quite a bit of time yesterday with the TA over the phone reading all those numbers. 

Which credit card?

Hello!  Yes, I ended up calling customer service and they stated I was receiving the error because there were "too many characters in the 1st line for the street address" - also, to note, that if we have too many attempts on the account, it will essentially lock up and they would have to escalate it to their IT so you will no longer get that message. 

 

Appreciate your help and input getting the error resolved.

Were you able to successfully place an order after calling customer service?  I submitted a web form a few days ago and they got back to me today stating that the error was a fraud lock on my account.    They said it was due to the fact that I was using the same card number across 2 accounts.     They've attempted to clear the alert 3 times now but I still can't order.   

a couple of concurrent deals right now for those of you interested in joining AARP for the members only gift card deals.   

you can use a shopping portal called swagbucks to purchase your membership.   You get 1500 points back which is enough for $15 in various gift cards (the membership costs $12)

you can also stack with a current chase offer.   If you have any chase debit/credit cards you can activate an offer for $8 off your membership.    

in total you pay $12 for the membership, get $8 as a statement credit from chase and $15 worth of gift cards from swagbucks 

I was able to use this offer on my 2 cards for a new reservation, received email from AMEX "Thanks for Using offer" Instantly. Received credit on one of the card the very next day. Still waiting on the other card. Is it normal? How long does it take for it to appear. I know AMEX says wait for atleast 90 days after the promotion end but based on my experience it never takes that long?

 

Anyone else who has used this offer and still have not received the credit yet?

I username the offer on 3 of the cards. All of my credits posted at the same time

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I really want to take advantage of this offer. I finally see it available for my card and added it this time.

 

Problem I have is I sail in 2 weeks. Prepaying tips gets me to 310. FTTF is not available. Has anyone tried if buying water, Bubbles, or anything else works? I know it says it doesn't, buy just trying.

I tried using it on excursions but it did not trigger the offer. I was debating if I should have tried getting gift cards instead. (Not cruise cash but e gift cards).

Hi - do you know

 

1. Can it be multiple transactions that add up to 35?

 

2. If #1 is yes, will it work on soda card purchase?

 

Tha ks!

I think you are going to need fresh data points in order to confirm. The past 3 Amex Offers that I was able to take advantage of were listed as "world's leading cruise lines" instead of "Carnival". I know there was a Carnival offer i18 months ago or so but I was not targeted for that and didn't find much data points online.

1. The vast majority of Amex offers allow for multiple transactions in order to trigger the offer, however the terms for this offer state that it must be a single purchase (not always enforced). The last World's Leading Cruise Lines" Offer allowed multiple transactions.

2. As far as I can tell for the past Amex Offers purchases from the fun shops, excursions and gift cards did not trigger the offer. I have the offers on 4 of my cards but can only have enough payments due to use 3 of them so I may try a gift card purchase to see if it triggers. Before I pull the trigger though, trying to convince my wife to book another cruise but we have 3 in the next 17 months so not gonna be easy.

They can see in at night when your light is on, so don't get naked in there at night with the curtains open :D

I think it depends on the ship. We have done 4J 5 times now. Normally you can only see in the room at night, however this wasn't the case on the Magic. We were able to see inside our room perfectly during the day. My wife didn't believe me until she saw it for herself. This wasn't the case on the conquest, ecstacy, elation or triumph.
