carnival "currents" coupon

[DeDe Linzy]

carnival is sending me a copy of their latest currents mag. they have
told me that there is a coupon in it for 399. inside and 499. outside
cabin on the fascination
what I am wondering is,are there any restrictions with these
coupons,blackout dates etc?

These fares will probably be restricred to certain sailing dates. If the coupon
is for a dollar value off, than the only restriction will be can not be applied
to holiday sailings.

The most recent copy of "Currents" that i have is fairly liberal with booking
dates. No blackout dates mentioned. It is good for departues from March 1 to
May 28 and just states that there may be limited availability on Easter cruise
departure dates. Otherwise, no blackout dates. I've used these coupons in the
past and found them to be a pretty good deal. When you consider that, for
instance a four night cruise is $449.00 pp for an oceanview and this INCLUDES
port taxes, it's a real good deal. The most recent copy of Currents that I
have is Winter 2001; I suppose Carnival is due to come out with there new one,
because this one that I have still shows the Fascination doing the 7 day San
Juan Southern Caribbean itinerary.

There are no major restrictions. The problem is, that 399 is not a
discounted price. You can sail Carnival for less than 400 bucks anytime
(except perhaps Holidays) if you shop the net.

But more importantly, If you've been on Carnival once, why would you want to
go back?

We checked our coupons and booked a Mexican Riviera cruise using them.
Although the CCL site on the net showed space for the week in May we wanted,
we were told when we booked that it was unavailable for coupon users and
either had to take the week before or week after. We took the week before
and our booking came in far cheaper than the coupon rate (much cheaper than
the rates on CCL's web site too).

Oh, please, give me a break. First of all, unless you are booking a very last
minute "fire sale," you will not get an oceanview cabin on Carnival for under
$400.00. Believe me, I've booked my wedding cruise with a very competitively
priced TA, and there is no way we are paying $400.00 for an oceanview cabin,
including port taxes, for a 5 day cruise.

We agree there Dale! I did go on Carnival -- once.

It was kinda nostalgic as the food and service reminded me of eating in the
dorm cafeteria during my college days (except at school they didn't try to
sell me fake watches, fake jewelry of fake art).

Stop it you joshing me right?

No one books a wedding cruise on Carnival.

And no one pays over $400 for a seven day Carnival cruise, let alone a five
day one. Throw in another $100 for oceanview but that's it.

Boy did your Travel Agent take you for a ride!
