Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. The atrium bar area on deck 2 will be quite busy during embarkation.
  2. That works for me also. Truth is they don't usually ask any way. Was your booking regular fare or was it a casino deal? Regular bookings should get the Port fees refunded but the water gets muddy when it comes to casino rates. They have special terms and condititions which I am not privy to.
  3. I think what we are debating are two different beasts. It makes sense that casino deals have their own special T&C. I have never seen the T&C for casino deals because the only gambling I do is the free 25 dollar platinum fun play. So in a sense maybe everyone here is correct for their particular sailing having fees eat out of the Port fee refund if they had booked a casino deal.
  4. I have never seen a cruise fare where the penalty is more than the total fare. Carnival's cruise ticket contract spells it out clearly. So for a penalty to dip into your port fees refund would actually require a penalty more than the cost of the cruise fare.
  5. This is directly from the horse's mouth regarding port fee and gratuity refunds. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3401/related/1
  6. My app only has a contact us button. No phone number listed for me.
  7. Stockperks took about three days for me recently but after that they have been good at getting the credit applied in a day or two. I was a skeptic at first, but like how easy it is now for future cruises.
  8. Truth is Carnival has never called and asked me if I would like to "upsell" my room but I have turned down their weak "upgrade" offers a few times. Only free upgrade I ever got was for a cruise last year for a Feb cruise that was supposed to be on the Freedom. I had booked an interior room but when it got switched to the Spirit I was gifted an 8A balcony in the aft of deck 5. No complaints from me.
  9. We are arriving separately works for me........... and that isn't technically even a lie 😉
  10. In a normal circumstance I agree. But if something shady is going on then all bets are off. There is nothing in the cruise contract that I could see that provides for confiscation of port fees and taxes save for pack and go which states the entire amount is non refundable.
  11. Port fee and taxes are not part of the cruise fare per the cruise ticket contract. They have been refunded to me for no shows a few times. Always came back to me the way I paid which was either credit card or gift cards. If your billing was to your travel agent and not Carnival then the money is sent to them. I book through a big box agent but my payments are directly to Carnival from my credit card or gift card so it is refunded directly to me.
  12. Your post is clear enough. Mitsugirly was asking what would happen to excess balance if she bought the bubbles package. She was thinking maybe the excess gift card balance would be applied to her sail and sign account. I was clarifying that is not the case. I wish Carnival would let me load some gift cards to my account prior to sailing but they won't. I think they want to "funnel" people into buying the non refundable cruise cash categories.
  13. Only the amount of your purchase will be used from the gift card. Carnival will not apply the rest to you account. Your purchase will be paid for and your gift card will still have what is left over as a balance on it.
  14. Maybe Carnival added this warning so we will know there is still a balance on the gift card after the transaction. If this is the case, the wording leaves a lot to be desired!
  15. They can get it if they have the 100 shares necessary. It doesn't matter if you are primary name on booking, but there is only one shareholder credit allowed per stateroom.
