I booked a back 2 back cruise this last Jan/Feb on the Carnival Freedom. My original booking was at the Early Saver rate as I book a year out. Around Oct/Nov the Military rate was substantially lower so I filed a rate change form and received the difference in OB credit (since my early saver was paid in full).
The one thing you want to watch is that once you switch from early saver to military or any other fare, is that you are now part of that fare and the restrictions under that fare apply.
Example: Early saver guarantees that if the fare drops you can get the lower rate, where as if you switched to Military rate, you're locked in to that rate even if another rate goes cheaper. So, read the rules for each rate and choose wisely.
