Watch out for falling prices...!

Watch out! Prices are falling!

 

Just got off the phone with my PVP. 3 months out before our August cruise and I just got $200 refunded back to my credit card (still outside of penalty but had paid in full).

 

That was a good way to start the week. Check your cruise. Maybe you have a similar surprise waiting for you!

 

(I do wonder if the oil spill is affecting bookings for sailings out of gulf embarkation ports. I'm booked on a 7 night out of New Orleans and the price now is substantially cheaper than other 7 nights out of Tampa, Galveston or Port Canaveral for the same week...)

Yes, we had $100 taken off our balance the other day as our cabin and cat price dropped! :D

[poobears]

Our room category is all sold out so no price drops for me. Glad you got a good one though.

[jabberjaw070596]

I have done early saver for our two cruises and have not seen one price drop!! :( Maybe one of these day

[vacruisin]

Yes, we had $100 taken off our balance the other day as our cabin and cat price dropped! :D

 

We got $110 in OBC also for our July sailing on the Freedom. Hoping for more too! :D

[astropilot]

We got $420.00 OBC on our recent Dream cruise. So far for our November cruise on the Dream we have gotten about $50.00 in reductions. You gotta love ES...

[DavyB]

If I received an OBC, where would I find it?

[md10074]

Lucky you! I check every day and so far, no price drop. I'm booked past guest and will have to make the final payment soon, so I think I'll be out of luck.

[parrotthead]

Our Conquest cruise for August has dropped twice so far...

LOVE IT!

And I will keep checking!

:D

[shadoo]

Lucky you! We just booked for next March using ES for the first time (we usually use Veteran's discount). Hoping for price drops over the next 300 days!

[BeachMartini]

If I received an OBC, where would I find it?

 

I'm clueless... we booked through an agency I found on Cruise Compete. So where do I check to see if the price has fallen? I'm assuming I would have to be checking, that this agency isn't going to just credit me!

 

Does this apply only if you purchased via Carnival?

 

Sorry for the question!

I called to find out if our cabin and cat dropped..

[nxtdoor]

Could I still get a price reduction if I've already paid in full and we are within 6 wks of sailing? thanks

[riffatsea]

Oh well!:( Our balcony for Jan.2011 has gone up today another

$20. So far that makes about $70 more than what we booked sooo we got a good price but no OBC yet!

I am not complaining as I think the price is great even without a drop.:p

If you booked under the ES rate, you can. If not...no

[laumicmah]

Our August cruise has gone up at least $100/person. I guess we got a good rate, but would love to get some OBC. Oh well!!

[conchead]

Our 5 day cruise for 3 is still $530 more than what we paid

so, the price has to drop a lot before I can start thinking about OBC

[cupcake26]

Ours keeps going up up up! But the new ports of call can probably explain it...

IF you booked Early Saver you can get price drops up till 2 days before sailing.

(given in the form of OnBoard Credit --'money' to spend on the ship--if final payment has been paid)

[FreezingInMichigan]

We booked Cat PT, not taking into consideration the category would sell out so quickly. Price was the same as a 4A which has dropped $30 since we booked. Lesson learned. :rolleyes:

[dac61]

No price drops on the Conquest for our Aug cruise. :( Im thinking I will still have a great time!!!!!

No such luck on our September cruise out of Mobile. But awesome for you! Congrats!!

We book using the Interline rate, however this time we were tempted to book under ES just to make sure that we could take advantage of any discounts after final payment. We still went ahead and booked under the interline rate though. For us, even with the latest price drop, the interline rate is still about $95pp less than ES so we're still on the winning end.

 

However, if ES goes below the interline rate, I'm SURE it will be after final payment when we're locked in...:rolleyes:

[gazingm42]

Ours just goes up up up in the last 2 weeks. We about 300 cheaper than

the current price. Even if there LOTS of room wide open. We just waiting for

the drop ....

[Fun, Fun 44]

Ours dropped $20. pp, but hopeful will get another. Usually average 2 per cruise. Just gotta keep checking, OFTEN!!:)
