Carnival Has A “Cash Back” Deal For You

It's a good feeling to have your cruise vacation plans wrapped up, especially if you feel you got a good deal on the fare. Carnival Cruise Lines is making it even sweeter by offering a promotion providing “cash back” of up to $160 per stateroom for a wide range of “Fun Ship” departures through Feb 2011. The promotion is available in conjunction with virtually all of the line’s 3- to 8-day “Fun Ship” cruises, including voyages to the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Mexico, departing from a variety of convenient North American homeports. You'll have to hurry, though, as bookings must be made between June 7–30, 2010, to be eligible for the cash back promotion.

The cash back option is provided in the form of a shipboard credit that can be redeemed once on board. Guests will receive a shipboard credit of up to $80 per stateroom on 3-, 4- and 5-day cruises and up to $160 per stateroom on voyages of six days or longer. The promotion is valid only with the line’s “Fun Select” fares. The shipboard credit is automatically applied to guests’ on-board accounts when they board their cruise and can be redeemed toward a wide range of shipboard purchases, including shore excursions, spa treatments, steakhouse reservations, gift shop items and more. Any unused funds at the end of the cruise will be returned to guests on debarkation day in the form of a check.

“This promotion makes a Carnival cruise an even greater value for consumers by providing extra cash that can be used toward a wide variety of shipboard purchases,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
