housecruiser86 Posted December 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I have sailed with carnival before and when I have booked and fully paid I have received pop up countdown clock with a discount for shore excursions. I was wondering if anyone has received any offers like that for the Vista cruses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted December 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Where did you see that? I've been on 16 cruises with Carnival (sailing on cruises 17 and 18 in 3 weeks) and have never gotten a pop up like that (or any other offer for discounts on excursions) even when my booking is paid in full. :confused: That would be awesome to get, shore excursions usually are pretty expensive!! :D How much was the discount?

linnythepooh Posted December 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I recieved the offer when I booked a couple of months ago. I only placed a deposit down for my cruise. I think it was good for 24 or 48 hours.I can't remember exactly what the discount but I want to say around 20 percent.

I just booked last week for the Sept. 13th cruise. Athens to Barcelona. It offered a 20% discount for all 3 of us in the first 3 ports only (Izmir, Rhodes and Malta). You could pick from all the excursions for those ports as long as you bought all three. And FWIW, I only have a deposit down for the cruise so far.

letsgo39 Posted January 7, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you will just do a little research you will find great values on DIY tours.I have been to all of these ports before and have never done a ships tour in any of them.Take a look at our roll call for the June 11 and we have been discussing private tours.

I put a deposit down for a March 2017 cruise and have the pop up excursion good until tomorrow for, I think, Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynalan Posted March 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have sailed with carnival before and when I have booked and fully paid I have received pop up countdown clock with a discount for shore excursions. I was wondering if anyone has received any offers like that for the Vista cruses Yes, I did. After paying the full fare and receiving our booking number from our TA, we logged onto the Carnival site. There indeed was a countdown clock that offered a 15% discount on a number of shore excursions if booked within 24 hours. Please note, that if you place a hold on a stateroom, the clock will start from the hold, not the payment. For us, this was a 10 hour difference with a result that we almost missed the offer. We saved about $300 on our bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick any three excursions on your cruise. They just use the first three ports as a starting point. Unless things have changed this is how all three of my cruises last year were.

We tried to get the Rome stop discounted and only let us get the first 3. That was kind of a bummer, because the discount would have meant a lot more dollars off for our $200/pp excursion for Rome. We still managed to save a little over $100 though. Edited March 24, 2016 by HawkIVette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCal Posted March 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm interested in getting the 20% excursion discount but never saw it pop up or offer it when we booked......Final payment is in July. I'm hoping it pops up then because we're sailing on the Vista to Europe and excursions can get Expensive especially with 8 ports and 3 of us 😳😳 Anyone ever Try or have any Luck Calling Carnival to see if booking excursions through them could include the 20% discount since it never popped up ?

BTHodgeman Posted March 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I got the popup when I booked and paid my deposit, but I did NOT get it again when I paid off my balance. (Granted, there aren't really any Carnival excursion that look that great to me on the TA, so I'm not upset...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted April 4, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I got it when I booked and another time I got it when I made final payment. Yet my brother didn't get the offer at all. Edited April 4, 2016 by vwrestler171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted April 4, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Never got any offer for a discount. Bummed because we did book one through Carnival and it was pricey for our family of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
