PRICE DROP!! Just SAVED $800!! MAGIC August 25, 2018


Recommended Posts

The current Casino promotion just saved us approximately $400 pp for our upcoming cruise. :D Went from $1489 to $1089 pp!! It's for a suite so not sure if other categories (or sailings) would benefit from it too. The Carnival agent could hardly believe it himself! LOL Just wanted to let everyone know so you can check your own cruise.

Wow! Great for you!

 

I'm on the newest ship (Vista), prime sailing time (June), so my PVP has already warned me that the chance of a price drop is slim, but I still checked, when you posted this!

 

I'm happy for you!

 

Thanks! I always check periodically but have never gotten a price drop so I'm super excited!

My heart dropped when I saw your post. I thought I messed up. Lol

 

Last week I changed our Magic 8/25 cruise to The Horizon out of NY on 8/28.

 

We are in NJ and after figuring in airfare, car service, and precruise hotel in Port Canaveral it was about the same cost to drive to NY and do a Family Harbour suite on Horizon.

 

I love the Dream class ships and was really looking forward to The Magic but it is so much easier to just drive an hour to NY for Horizon.

 

I just checked and the Magic price for an ocean suite is the same as the casino rate I had when I booked in January and the Horizon has gone up $700!

 

 

 

Congrats on your price drop!

I went in as if I were doing a new booking and it came up "Casino Offer". Just looked again and don't see the casino offer, but the "Exclusive VIFP Club Member Rates are $1091 pp which is only $3 more than the Casino offer. Still a SIGNIFICANT savings over the $1489 we had originally.

Thanks. I would LOVE to be able to drive to port in an hour again! We moved to NC from MD where we could have driven to Baltimore in 45 minutes. Now the closest port is 3 hours which still isn't too bad. However, we love the cruise itineraries out of FL.

Casino rates are attached to you VIFP# so make sure you enter that number when you check.

It will pop up if you qualify for Casino rate or if they feel like giving you a casino rate.

 

They offered my sister a Casino rate just recently and she hasn't even sailed Carnival in 3 years :rolleyes:

Georgie is right..the casino rate is attached to your VIFP # so you have to enter it to see if you qualify. However, as I said before, the price is still cheaper under other offers too. Good luck either way!

If im not mistaken, you are entitled to any price drop up until final payment.

Once final payment date, only those with Early Saver rates are entitled to price drops.

I submitted a price protection form for the casino rate for our 14Apr sailing today. Hit the email saying it was approved but when I got the new confirmation it was still the same rate as before with no drop. Submitted again and the same results. Grrrrrrr.....I hate calling!
