I will be going on my 3rd carnival cruise june 2008, my mother had always made my cruise arrangements but...?

What you need is your Carnival "past passenger Number" . Call Carnival and tell them this and you will get credit for the cruise on your "Frequent passenger" status. As far as discounts , I' m not sure of that, your Travel agent (or Carnival Corp.) could help you with that. Have a fun cruise.

Carnival has a past guest program, they will assign you a number for identification purposes. If you have not signed up as a past guest, your travel agent can arrange to get your past guest number, but they may need the Names of the cruise ship and approximate date on occasion to verify the past guest status.

The past guest premium varies depending on the cruise. There is sometimes a discount or a free uprade. All past guest are invited to a complimentary coctail reception by Carnival.

See your travel agent.

I always buy my cruises from www.greatratestravelservice.com

Have a great trip!!!

If you respond to an offer that you might get in the mail, via email, or online, and input your guest# then you might be able to do so. Is your mom going with you or is it just you? If they wont let you do it like that, then be aware that after you go on the cruise in 2008 you will get your own number to use if you plan on sailing again. Bottom line, try calling carnival and asking them, or maybe your local travel agent might be of help to you. Anyway, hope this helps, good luck, and Bon Voyage!

Sometimes you can get a better deal by looking on thrid-party websites like cruisevalue.com or some others. The lines may sell them out to them at a wholesale rate so you can end up saving some money even over the past guest discounts. Sometimes it's better, sometimes not. Guess it all depends on how much research you want to do.

Enjoy!

Have a look on www.onevacationclub.com. Al major cruise lines represented and good rates. I have used them in the past.

Have a good holiday.

Carnival does have past guest specials. Go to their website, fill out a profile and input your past guest number.

This will get you where you need to be for past guest specials.
