From: Ohioguy on 8 Jun 2010 14:35 If you've been on a cruise line before, do you get lower rates? I noticed several of the websites asking this, and my wife has been on Carnival before. However, that was back in 2001, and she doesn't know the passenger # or whatever they are asking.

Yes, there is often a past passenger discount. Call Carnival's past guest program (number on their website) to see if they have a guest program account set up for her and, if not, whether she can create an account based on their record of her having sailed (I think they should be able to access data re her 2001 sailing).

Since you've been asking about discounts, both CCL (Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn, Costa) and RCI (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Azmara) offer discounts to shareholders of around $100. (I think it can vary with the length of the cruise). Like the Amex Platinum discount, it typically isn't worth buying stock strictly for the discount, but it's a nice perk! Mark

Appropos of nothing (aside from another "Small World" example) - I was talking to coworkers about my cruise to Bermuda years ago, and a close coworker told me that part of her family was Bermudan and a cousin of some sort was the kid who found the caves while chasing a ball in 1905. Mark |
