[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 739238, member: 4656"] I came by to check if a second cruise date had been picked and a fight has broke out. :dissapointed: Carnival no longer gives interline discounts to UPS employees. The Carnival cruise had already been picked when Amy was contacted so she was not remiss in not finding interline rates for that cruise, because there were none. Interline rates are not the be all, end all for pricing. I was involved in a group cruise a few years ago and the interline cabins for that cruise (RCL out of San Juan) were a block of balcony cabins in the middle of an upper deck. Premium cabins for a discount which is great if you want a premium cabin, if you don't... What I am saying is that interline rates are not a discount for [U]any[/U] cabin you may want on a particular ship but only a select number of cabins chosen by that cruise line. If a cruise is popular or during peak seasons interline discounts won't be offered at all. A TA (Amy) should be able to tell the group which sailings (various cruise lines) have interline discounts or the most group perks (or group amenity points/ GAP points). Figuring out which cruises give the group the most bang for their buck would be a good place to start when picking out the next cruise to take. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
