It's from "Carnival Cruise Line".

Carnival Cruise Line calling to tell me to arrive at the port for my cruise at a certain time.  Did not leave a message when I did not answer.  But called later and when I answered it was a recorded message.

It was from the Carnival Cruises.  Reminder about check in procedures.  They left a message when I did not answer.

Got this call from Carnival Cruises.  No idea why, I'm not planning a cruise.  In fact I've never interacted with them before in my life.  No idea how they got my number.

They have been calling my phone 3 times a day and I have yet to answer. It would be wise of them to leave a message; even if its a recording.

This is a scam!! They claim to be Carnival Cruise Lines calling to verify your credit card information for your Sign and Sail Card. I immediately called Carnival and they said they would never call asking for that information.
Do not give these people any info!!

Received to call today, December 3, 2013, missed both calls and no voicemail was left.

This was from Carnival.  The agent looked up my upcoming reservation and told me the price of my reserved cruise had dropped so there was an adjustment made to the final amount due!  I got to keep my same cabin # and category.  I was not asked for any credit card numbers or personal questions.  They had all the information to access my reservation after I gave them the required ID # to access my booking (which I had done before due a previous advertised price drop).  Immediately thereafter, I received in my email Carnival's confirmation of the upcoming cruise with the lower amount.   Carnival has a policy that if your cruise price drops at any time before your required final payment is due, you can request for a price adjustment.  This time, they called me!

It is a legit call from Carnival cruise. They called to say that my boarding time for my cruise this Saturday had changed.

From Carnival Cruise Lines.  They left me an automated voicemail reminder of my check-in time for an upcoming trip.  Not a scam; did not ask for personal or credit card information.

It is Carnival Cruise Lines with a reminder about staggered check in for my upcoming cruise.

Carnival Cruise Line recorded message about arrival time for upcoming cruise.

This is from Carnival Cruise Lines updating my info for my upcoming cruise in 4 days.

Legit call leaving a recorded message with your boarding time and reminders for a smooth check-in.

This is Carnival Cruise Lines to let me know of my upcoming final payment date for my upcoming cruise.  No one asked for any personal information or form of payment.  The message said to manage my booking online to avoid an automatic cancellation.  This was a legit call.

THIS CALL IS LEGITIMATE!  I am leaving on a cruise in two days. Carnival called with a recorded message to update on what time boarding is.

If your statement is true, please support it, by answering the following questions:

1.  Did you buy the ticket directly from Carnival, or a travel agent, or did you get it by attending some kind of timeshare meeting at a hotel?

2.  What is the Carnival website that shows this phone number?

3.  Why did you search a phone complaints site for this phone number?

If you fail to answer those important and easy questions, we may consider your post as being made by a shill.

1. Booked with a travel agent.
2. All over their website. 1-800-227-6482 = 1-800-CARNIVAL
3. It was the first search result.

Thank you for the information.
I wonder why Ciocia-Mom couldn't provide that info, last OCTOBER, when I asked?
Also, congratulations on searching for a phone number on a phone complaints site, for which you already knew the caller.  You must have been bored today.

Visitors:

Just because somebody says this number is "legitimate" or "real" or something similar, Their statements may NOT apply to the call you received!


Yes,

• The bad guys can spoof or fake what you see on your caller ID, and they can use "real" phone numbers to make you believe the call was from a legitimate company.
