Carnival gift cards

The best way to save money on a cruise is to use gift cards to pay for your cruise fare and all of your onboard spending. You can get discounted gift cards through several methods, or buy them at cost and get other perks such as gas discounts.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you pay with something with a gift card and then cancel your order, your money is refunded to you via another gift card that will be shipped to you from Carnival via FedEx. Gift cards are non-refundable.

American Express

While this isn’t a gift card, AmEx will give you $100 off of $500+ spent on Carnival cruises.

Now I personally have no experience with this but have read about it on numerous cruise websites. I don’t have an AmEx card but if you do, you may want to check into this.

AARP

You do not have to be old enough for AARP nor do you have to be an AARP member. Anyone can sign up for an account.

You can earn points by signing up for their emails, doing surveys/quizzes, etc. The easiest way I’ve found is to do the quizzes. You do not need to read them or get the questions correct. Just click on different things until you’ve gone through the quiz. You can do this in seriously under about 15 seconds. Just click through.

Once you complete a quiz, you earn points. You need to have 1,000 points to buy the $100 gift cards and 5,000 points to buy the $500 gift cards. You purchase a $100 gift card for $90 or a $500 gift card for $450. You can apply these gift cards toward your cruise fare, on board spending, beverage packages, fun shops purchases, Pixels packages, spa, excursions, gratuities, anything Carnival offers.
