I_AM_GROOT Posted March 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2021 For those who used gift cards for anything (paying cruise or FUN Shop) how long did it take to get new gift card issued? I was told mine was processed on the 2nd of March, but I have yet to see anything coming my way via FedEx, UPS or the USPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up at my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted March 21, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Gift card replacements from my first cancelled cruise took many months. I don't remember exactly but I think around six months. Gift card replacements for my second cancelled cruise were received quickly - under 2 months. I have yet to receive anything from my cancelled April 2021 cruise.

TomCruise48 Posted March 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The first bunch of refund gift cards took five months and many phone calls. Another bunch took only one week. I have now been waiting for two months for gift card refunds for two cruises that Carnival cancelled in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytanbri Posted March 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I cancelled my FTTF and excursions for my July cruise 2 weeks ago. I already received 5 gift cards and my refunds for my credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpirate Posted March 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I got mine within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crooooze Posted March 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It seems to be completely inconsistent. Eight weeks ago, I cancelled an excursion paid for with a GC. Still haven’t received the refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Fun shop refunds come quick. 2 weeks on those. Cruise fare refunds no so much. I just got my cards from the April cancellations last week. Those cruises were canceled in January so...about 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxer Posted March 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm glad you asked and I'm glad to see the answers. I plan to start getting AARP gift cards for my November cruise. (Or that's the theory--no plan ever seems to go off without a hitch anymore, either with gift cards or cruising.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_AM_GROOT Posted March 22, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I don't trust Carnival at all at this point since they were claiming before I never had such money. Hopefully they send them soon! I'll give them till April then start calling them to figure it out. Wish they would have just put the gift cards on the new cruise instead of sending me new plastic. Waste of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raynvic Posted April 2, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 2, 2021 When I did not receive the gift card (refund) in a couple of weeks. They were able to see it was sent, but not used, so they sent a new one that arrived in about 5 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCruise48 Posted April 7, 2021 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Checked again on gift card refunds for cruise that Carnival cancelled in January. They said that funds were released in February to a third party company that processes the gift card refunds. Problem is with the third party company. Was told to wait another month and call back if not received by then. What a run around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogsmm Posted April 7, 2021 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My cruise that was partially paid for with gift cards was just cancelled and I chose the FCC option. Will they apply the gift cards to the rebooked cruise or will they refund them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
