okwriter Posted July 7, 2010 #51 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Oh my gosh! It really does work! :D Sometime in the last week or so, I got an email about a price drop that turned out to be either a different cabin category or a different sailing. I only remember that I went to check when I received the email, and it didn't apply to my category. BUT........drumroll........I got an email in the last 15 minutes or so that actually DOES apply to our December 12 sailing on the Legend! I quickly took a screen shot and sent the form off. WOO HOO! We'll take another $20 pp off the price of that 8E! :D The Past Guest rate had also dropped and we could have upgraded, but I'm happy with the cabin we've chosen. THANK YOU, Cruise Genie! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketmom09 Posted July 8, 2010 #52 Share Posted July 8, 2010 How's everybody else doing with price drops. Hoping Carnival is treating every one good. We're on Freedom 9/5/10 and so far NOTHING! I check multiple times a day and also signed up with cruise genie. I keep hoping!! 2 months away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madge57 Posted July 8, 2010 #53 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I got an e-mail about our Miracle cruise in Jan. it dropped around $100 but the amount I paid for our cabin they will have to drop a lot more!!:eek: In fact I don't know the price of our cabin we were switched because they need our cabin for storing the art for the auctions!! Went from Rivera to Upper deck not added charge so I can safely say I got a great deal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLCruiser001 Posted July 15, 2010 #55 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Has anyone had any luck with receiving notifications of price drops? I registered in April? and have only received emails on site problems being fixed but no price drops yet. How has everyone else done with this site? Thanks! Talli Ha! The one and only notification I received was 18 hrs after I saw a price drop myself! There have been many price drops I have seen since, but nooooo notifications. Well, you get what you pay for with Cruise Genie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted July 15, 2010 #56 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have tried twice to request notification of price drops on our Hawaii cruise next year. Cruise Genie finds the sailing, but when I request notification the website tells me "search yielded no results". I'll try again in a few days. The other price drop site didn't find the sailing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you emailed to see if they can figure out why your not getting notifications? Perhaps the problem is on your end. I got emails of price drops and it saved me $260. I can't believe people complain about a free service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze, the poster is simply stating their experience with the service!!! I'm sure they expect to get exactly what they paid for!!! On a lighter note, does this service work for air fares also?

The service is free and I was just wondering if tried to find out where the problem was. I recieved a couple of price drop emails so I know it worked for me. I just felt some blame the problem on the website when it could be on their end (junk folder etc). Sorry if I came off to hard. This works only for carnival cruises but I think kayak has one that checks airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdlmc Posted July 16, 2010 #61 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It doesn't monitor easy saver rates but I did receive a notice that the regular rate had dropped and when I went to check I saw that the ES rate had dropped as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleyann Awesome, congratulations! :) Is there a form you send in to Cruise Genie to have it lower your fare? There must be some sort of limit, otherwise everyone would ask Cruise Genie to lower their fare to $0. :confused: How does that work? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carnival cruise genie is a website that let's you input your cruise information then watches that cruise for price drops. If one is found it emails you alerting you to the drop. You can then request an o.b.c. saves checking prices everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmag32 Posted August 22, 2010 #67 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I've been trying to get to the Carnival Genie site and all I get is a web page stating the domain page has just been registered.

cruisinthemed Posted August 22, 2010 #68 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I had a price drop yesterday...The Genie didn't tell me!!! I look everyday @ Carnival's site. It was for our 3 day Paradise next weekend. We purchased last weekend and immediately added it to our Cruise Genie...I was able to get a free upgrade. The price drop was $30.00 PP. My personal advice...It may work sometimes, but don't rely on it. I still have four other cruises registered with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
