TBut50 Posted March 30, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My question to all of these, is where are you finding the price drops? Is it on the Carnival website or somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michellejed Posted March 30, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I check Carnival.com every day and some times several times a day. This is the first cruise out of 8 that we have ever had a price drop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh24fan Posted March 30, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Our Miracle cruise in April has had ZERO drops and is currently $20 more than we paid. We don't leave until April 29th so I'm still hoping.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelle1836 Posted March 30, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2010 my cruise is over $200 for what I paid in ES not thinking it is going down that much :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropilot Posted March 30, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2010 our upcoming cruise on the dream dropped by $220 PP last week, this week it's starting to edge back up. Needless to say we took advantage of the ES program and now have an additional $420 of OBC. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansdave Posted March 30, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 30, 2010 our cruise has gone up.........like $80 a person since we have booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntheros Posted March 30, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 30, 2010 To get credit for the pricedrop, did you have to book it under a special category. We booked ours with a past guest price and one with a military price. If the price goes down, can we just call our PVP and get the onboard credit? Not sure how all of this works. Also, how close to the cruise can you get the credit? Just until you make your final payment or all the way up to the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyMore Posted March 30, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You need to book early saver rates to take advantage of lower prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing on June 6th and like the above comment..we booked 2 rooms for past guest rate , I just checked it 3 mins ago and it dropped $136 but when I went to book it to see what the total was w/ taxes it said it was not available??? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David7621 Posted March 30, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 30, 2010 When do they start price dropping?? Im not looking to cruise till next April and was wondering how much the price fluctuates between now and October when the early saver runs out..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to book under early saver to get the credit up to the time of sailing. If you are in the cancellation penalty period and booked as a past guest as I am they will give you an upgrade if applicable but no onboard credit. In other words, they will move you to a 8f if you booked a 8c that was more expensive but will not give a credit for the price difference. Hope this helps, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michellejed Posted March 30, 2010 Author #19 Share Posted March 30, 2010 We are about 2 weeks out and booked ES, during this last 5 months we have seen our cat 4J go up as high as $699 to a low of now being $379, so there is hope for some still waiting.

momthecruisedirector Posted March 30, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Also has to be the same category - so may look like you should be saving, say $50 but your category may only be $10. We booked two weeks ago on the Valor and have had two price drops so far. Unusually good luck for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted March 30, 2010 #21 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You need to book early saver rates to take advantage of lower prices That's not true.....any booking is eligible for price reductions before final payment is due.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganirish Posted March 31, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 31, 2010 wolf - will you be on the glory? after reading these boards i called carnival on sunday - they told us our category is sold out so they'll be no price drops - i'm gonna keep calling just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmarie424 Posted March 31, 2010 #23 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Back in October we booked a room that was $30 pp over what we had budgeted, hoping that we would be able to get that much back in ES adjustments. Things went our way and we got back $40 pp prior to final payment. Then last week we got $50 pp OBC, and another $20 pp today! So we have enough OBC to cover our gratuities. Plus I have another $100 coming from the stockholder credit! Wooo-hooooooooooo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would never occur to me to call and all when I could do something so easily myself... and not have to deal with a rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
