Carnival Cruise Line has an offers page within the website where you can login to see if you have any special offers or promotions. Sometimes offers are specific to you and based on factors such as your zip code, spending history, cruise history, and more. Other times offers are less exclusive, but may still be a good deal. The exact methodology for determining who gets what offers is not known as Carnival does not disclose that information, but check your offers page frequently to see if you might be able to get a good deal! In this post I will discuss how you can get to view your offers on Carnival's website:
Step #1: Login to Carnival's Website
Start by logging into Carnival's website. Carnival's website is www.carnival.com. At the top of Carnival's website there are buttons that say "Create Account" and "Login". You will want to select the "Login" button and then enter your username or email address & password. If you do not have an account, you should create one. Make sure your VIFP number is linked to this account as you will need that number in the process of viewing any offers that might be specific to you. If you have difficulty getting an account setup or linking your VIFP number, you should call Carnival's customer service.

Step #3: You Are On The Offers Page
After clicking on the "Today's Deals" link you should be on the offers page. If you are properly logged into Carnival's website you should see your name and VIFP club number on the page. The page is divided into multiple sections which include VIFP Club Members - Only Offers, Limited-Time Offers, and Trending. The VIFP Club Members - Only Offers are tied to your VIFP Club number.
If you are interested in seeing the prices offered under the offer, you can click the blue "Shop Now" button located by the offer. From my experience, the price shown on the offer's cover is typically the cheapest cruise available under the particular offer fare. The price will vary upwards depending on itinerary, ship, length of cruise, and number of guests in a stateroom. Carnival makes it clear that the advertised rate on the front of the offer is "from" which means cruises other than the lowest price will be higher.
If you decide to book I highly recommend you understand the terms & conditions of the offer you are selecting. For example, I have seen some deals and rate codes in the past stipulate that deposits are non-refundable. Please just make sure you understand the terms & conditions of the offer before you book to avoid anything unexpected later!

And that is it! I have personally seen some great offers on this page before. However, I have also seen some offers that were not great at all and would have cost more than just booking at a normal fare. Do your research to make sure you are getting the best deal possible for your vacation. I hope you are able to see a good offer that works for you and fits in your budget. Good luck and happy cruising!
