Havent sailed in 4 years. Several $100pp room offers

[sam73]

Is this for real? I just happened to log in to my carnival account, and found many great offers. $100 pp for balcony rooms with obc. Even found a 5 day balcony, $1200 for 2 people with a $1000 obc. Of course these all expire tomorrow, and i get get a answer from the hubs. How often are these offered?

These offers have been frequent over the past two years.  No way of telling if they will continue

If you find a deal appealing, I'd hop on it. I'm hoping those deals continue when the current round expires, but I'm definitely not counting on it.

They are for real, but don't expect them to last forever, especially as cruising continues to recover.

It's real, and click the button if you find one you like.  I got an 8 day balcony for next year for ~$850 pre-tax.  And for someone that typically cruises solo I absolutely jumped on it because I typically sail inside since I have to pay double.

If my husband would just make a decision.... they expire tomorrow

Does anyone know if a cruise hold on an expiring deal still works? i.e. if I put a hold on a booking today under a deal that expires today, would I still be able to finalize the booking before the hold expires (but after the deal expires)? Might give the op an extra day or two to decide?

I wouldn’t think so

Yes it does...but you can only have one complimentary hold at a time...

I get them all the time.  Good for cruises through 2025 right now for my offers.  

 

If those expire, I get a new batch

 

Have one booked for 2024 but no burning desire to cruise like I used to!

From wh  as t I understand they expire at midnight tomorrow. New offers will come out May 2. These casino offers are to try and lure gamblers back. My husband hadn’t been since 2019 and he had a free interior.

Not sure they will keep giving them out as much now they they are booking solid? Hoping. Definitely can assume that you won’t continue to get them if you haven’t taken advantage of one yet?

My husband got one before COVID.  We hadn't sailed in a few years before that.  We booked but COVID ended up cancelling our cruise. 
He has been getting them consistently since then.  We sailed twice in 2022 and I started playing at the casino. I also now consistently get them. 
I get the worry.  Back when cruising was starting up again he had one and I felt pressured to book, scared we wouldn't get another. 
Eventually they will run out.

Am I correct in assuming these are casino offers?  (I don't gamble and have gotten exactly zero worthwhile offers in the past year).

We ended up booking alaska for next year. $2000 extended balcony with $400 obc and free drinks in the casino. We were booked for alaska in 2020 and it was over $4000, so feel like this was a good deal
