jenmac711us Posted June 26, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2010 any way to get any credit if the price drops after final payment? I'm sure its been asked before but I couldn't find it by searching. Thanks! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tburtz Posted June 26, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I don't think so either, but I've read you may be able to get an upgrade if you haggle with your PVP, I could be wrong about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted June 26, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2010 nope, no way to get a credit, but you can ask for an upgrade if a higher category cabin is listed for less than you paid for yours (example, you booked 8a, and 8c is say 10PP less). they typically grant this request...

I was able to do this but no refund of money or OBC (wasn't expecting any.) Prices had dropped $150 per person in the week since I'd booked plus were offering a higher category upgrade, they honored moving me up to a higher category. We booked about 6 weeks out from sailing so paid in full at the time of booking. Killed me to know that I could have spent $300 less by waiting - not that I had any way to know what prices would do. :p It all worked out - we snagged 7258 on the Pride which has the triple size balcony for the price of a regular extended size.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked an OV cabin with past guest, that included an upgrade from a 6A to a 6B or something like that. The rates went down after my final payment. When I saw that a balcony (8A upgraded to 8D) at past guest rate was only $20 more than what I paid for the OV, I called up to see if I could get it and pay the $20. The very nice lady spoke to her supervisor and then gave it to me at no extra charge, so I was able to go from a 6B to an 8D. Boy was I happy!

Boy was I happy! see! it works! :D congrats to you, that's one heck of an upgrade right there!!! :cool: OP: that's a good example - they also will often let you 'pay the difference' if you're trying to get to a higher category, too - and apparently, sometimes give it to you free! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotthead Posted June 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Nope. Otherwise why would people use the EarlySaver with a non refundable deposit/fees to make changes and all the retritions?? It would not make any sense for Carnival to allow that, if that is THE perk of EarlySaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
