Carnival Cruise Lines is based in Miami and offers various cruise classes to destinations such as the Bahamas and Panama. Much of the entertainment, activities, food and drinks for passengers is included in the cost of the cruise fare. However, some activities, food and drinks from certain areas of the ship will likely cost passengers extra. Onboard credits are used just like currency to pay for these additional items, and there are a variety of ways to acquire these credits.
Receive onboard credits from Carnival Cruise Lines when you book your cruise through a promotion that offers free credits with a cruise purchase. Often these offers are mailed or emailed to previous cruise passengers, but they can also be found through travel agents and online promotions.
Purchase onboard credits through the Carnival Cruise Lines website. Credits can be purchased specifically for items such as soft drinks, food and bar credits.
Receive free onboard credits from Carnival Cruise Lines if you are a company shareholder that holds a minimum of 100 shares in the company. Credit values vary by the amount of shares held.
Get a Carnival MasterCard and use your card to earn FunPoints. FunPoints can be used on a cruise to purchase items. Cardholders receive one point for every dollar spent on normal transactions and two points for purchases made through Carnival Cruise Lines.
Register for onboard credits at the Carnival website if you are booking a Carnival cruise for your wedding or honeymoon and share your registry link with friends and family. Onboard credits can be purchased as wedding gifts.
