MrsMMark Posted March 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can you make another type of reservation and then switch to early saver a couple week later? We will not have 100% confirmation on fall vacation dates until March 18, but want to go ahead and book to get specific cabins. If another fare type is available, like PG, could I make the reservation now under PG and then change to ES when the vacation dates are confirmed? I think a PVP told me I could do this once before, but in that case we were discussing switching the very next day (can't remember why and didn't really do it). I know you guys will know the answer!

tiggerman101 Posted March 1, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes you can. I have done this a few times. If I am in a category I think will not sell out immediately then I will do it. That way I don't get locked into all the stipulations right away. Just be aware of when Early Saver fares disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted March 1, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2011 We booked a cruise that did not have the Early Saver rate available. Once we saw that the Early Saver rate was available I called Carnival and switched. We received a $60 rate deduction. The cruise is not paid for in full yet. It will be soon. Then we can hope for price drops to get OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUPY48 Posted March 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2011 If I get this right, that means I can book for Feb. 2012 with a regular booking, then when I can def. confirm my dates, I can change it to early saver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted March 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm in the process of doing that. Booked as Pass Guest but right now ES is $20 more then what I paid. Once it drops though, I'm switching over to get the rate guarantee. Just watch the rates before you switch. You don't want to end up paying more and then hope for a rate drop.
