    Don't get left behind doing your own excursions. The ships will not wait unless it is one booked through Carnival.

    AARP members can purchase Carnival gift cards in $100 or $500 denominations at a 10% discount. Very easy to download your discount codes one at a time and then upload them to your Carnival account. Wish I had found this out before I had my future cruise half paid for!

    If I drank like that, I’d have no recollection of the vacation 🤣🤣

    If you have a land based casino reward card, send it to Carnival Fun Match. They will send you much better offers.
    I will be on the Venezia Jan 23 10 night cruise with a free balcony, free play, and free drinks on us. I have never sailed on Carnival and they sent me this offer after I sent them proof of my MGM Gold card (which isn’t a very high level on MGM).

      I did the same thing for an Alaskan cruise for 2024 and my wife and I haven't sailed on Carnival in 15 years. Saved a ton of money.

    Would love to cruise with you guys. I think we could be bffs 😆

    LOVE this video! We do some of these tips but a few were new to us. We just got Carnival credit card to get a sign-up bonus to use for OBCs on our upcoming Venezia cruise. Do you use this card for your everyday purchases to get more points for future cruises? Is it worth it besides a sign-up bonus? Great tips, just subscribed to your finance channel, looking forward to more tips!

    You are so correct about the Carnival Mastercard. They offered me $200 statement credit for opening an account and every Carnival purchase qualified me for redemption rewards. I just redeemed $400 statement credit for a cruise I purchased in February!!!! 💰

    How did they "offer" you the upgrade? Did they call your room? Did they send you a note to your room? Did they email you? Did you approach the front desk? Thank you.

      They also call sometimes. They recently reopened their call center that handles special offer upgrades (had been closed since the pandemic started) and we got a call recently with an offer to upgrade. We have usually gotten offers via email to my husband's VIFP account.

    Is the stock you guys own CCL?

  • @SunnyTravels
    @SunnyTravels Рік тому +1

    Carnival stock. I bought 100 shares in April 2020, and it's still down.
    But it gets you OBC for Carnival and HAL and Princess, etc.

      You can bring a 12-pack of canned or carton soda &/or juice PER PERSON (NO bottles- plastic or glass)

    Of course, if you're not a drinker dont do the drink package. I save money by doing the drink package. I have seen my first night bill, I would die if i did that each night.

  • @SunnyTravels
    @SunnyTravels Рік тому +1

    Wha?! A cruise and not a train?
    Nifty!
    Buying q drink package is never a deal--with NCL is just a perk.🙂

    • @GroundedLifeCruises
      @GroundedLifeCruises  Рік тому +1

      Those extra charges on NCL add up though

      @@GroundedLifeCruises I know, but the gratuities on a drink package are about $250 per week. Can you drink 2 drinks per day? 😉

    These ships make lushes out of people with all this liquor. If you don't do that at home, why on a ship?🤔😐

      I live in the Nashville, TN area and MILLIONS of tourists visit now and quite a lot of them getting totally wasted. And if you think cruise ship drinks are expensive, try buying them on Lower Broadway in Nashville...
