Cruise Line Credit Card

Just wondering if there are any pros or cons associated with it. Anything I should know about the small print? Any success stories???

another plus, is that you can use points that you earn on most of your everyday purchases toward purchasing items associated with your carnival cruise...like free gifts that you can purchase with your points before your cruise and have waiting for you in your room when you board the ship...that was a plus for me...i like freebies...i didn't have any cons...it's a pretty good card.

travelwishtv.com You don't need to carry around money on the ship. Everything you buy from the gift shop, bars, and even photographs are ...

I signed up for a credit card when I was on a cruise. I was supposed to earn points towards my next cruise with each purchase. The card was originally with MNBA. Then I got a new one (same account) from Bank of America. There's nothing on the card website about points accumulating and nothing in the statements. I emailed customer service and they had no info on that. Should I contact the cruise line? Is there anything to do or should I just cancel it?

Sounds like after BOA took over they stopped that particular rewards program. Unfortunately that happens all too often, however normally you have a period of time to use or sometimes transfer those points, contact the cruise line.

Juniper Bank has a SeaMiles card with Carnival that has a pretty good rewards rate.

The vacation company sent the main person of this group an email stating that our credit card was declined for the final payment. And that the cruise line will not let anyone in the group board. The vacation company is not the actually cruise line. Our credit card was ran with out our permission we are going to pay with a different card. Is what the vacation company illgeal? Can they really charge our card with out our permission? What about give out information about a card decline? Please help!!! Ver urgent

Maybe I don't understand, but the vacation company charged the card? and then did not send that to the cruise line? You can call the credit card company to see whay it was declined. As far as it being illegal, I'm not sure you may want to also post the question under legal. Hope this helps!!

I just participated on an automated 10 question phone survey where after completion they offered a complimentary cruise vacation for 2 days/2 nights to Nassau/Bahamas leaving from Ft Lauderdale. The cruise ship is the Regal Empress from Imperial Majesty Cruise Lines.
Has anyone been on this ship?
Has anyone ever participated in a deal like this?

I don't believe this to be anything relating to time-share or anything where I would need to participate in a 90 min program. However, I'm not sure.

The survey just asked very generic questions, and did not ask for anything personal or any credit card information. Someone from the cruise line is supposed to call me to finalize all the accomodations in a few days.

It just sounds a little too good to be true.

((and I know it's not going to be a large new ship and that's ok, as this will be my first cruise))

This is a small outdated ship and YES.. you will need to participate in timeshare activities.

Check sites like Cruisecritics.com for more information about the cruise itself.
And do a check online for Cruise Scams

You didn't win anything.. there are expenses as well as timeshares attached.

Okay, so today my mom opens up a letter from the company called:

Imperial Majesty Cruise Line Vacations

Now yes, I know now that giving my credit card number over the phone to some dude named Darian Boyd was incredibly irresponsible, and that the charges of like $700 is going to be paid for nothing.

I looked up online on Google right after I got off the phone with the company and a repulsive representative named 'Pedro', and know that the whole thing is a scam.

People who have actually gotten their sales package have gone and said that the trip is not worth it, and the the ship is even bad for your health because of the poor conditions. Also that they make your pay of absolutely everything, and that the travel voucher is false advertising.

Now the question is, that I know some people have actually gotten their full refund through some serious complaining or whatever.

All I want to know is how do I cancel this whole thing? Must I call my Credit card company or what?
Thank you.

And fuck the scammers.

You have a 30 day period to get your money back. (a cooling off period).
The trouble is that you have to actually get someone to talk too at their office, although it is your right to cancel, from what I have read, it is incredibly difficult, they keep hanging up on you.
Your best bet is to cancel thetransaction through your Credit card Company.

From the link below written by someone in exactly the same position as you.
"called my credit card company and canceled the transaction within the 3 days, which is within my rights"
