I recently went on a cruise with Carnival to Mexico 7 days
we’re planning a 6 day one with Carnival I was wondering can we get anything more than a gold sail & sign card?, like a discount?

Depends on the cruise line, you usually get some kind of perks when you sail more than once, royal Caribbean has a club you can join where you get invited to special events that other passengers don’t get, also you sometimes get pre boarding privileges and disembarkation. Then some give you a bottle of wine and that sort of perk. some give a few dollars in credit on board. all sorts of goodies.

Cruise lines usually offer past guest rates or specials. Your best bet may be to call Carnival or check out their website. I have cruised with them 10 times and get different promotions depending on when I book, eyc. Sometimes its a free upgrade but it varies widely

sometimes they have past guest specials. There pricing is alot like airline pricing, meaning there really isn’t much logic. Sometimes military discounts or discounts based on location are better deals then past guest specials, sometimes not.

Carnival usually offers a past guest discount. It is not much. As I recall, the discount was enough to pay for the tips!
However, this discount is not always available so it is best to discuss personally with one of Carnival’s Personal Vacation Planners.

Ask for an upgrade. They will give it to you, but you have to ask.
I have sailed 12 times with Carnival and I always ask for and get perks. We are sailing Conquest on June 7th. I paid for an ocean view and got upgraded to a balcony and they gave us 100 onboard credit
