Early Saver - a great outcome

[dec2007w3boys]

I know not everyone is a fan, but I am loving it right now. I noticed on Monday that our cruise fair had dropped from $604/person to $499 for past guest. I submitted a ES form for the two cabins with 2 passengers - $420 total OBC. While waiting for that one, I noticed yesterday that the rate was now $399 - that is another $400. Tonight I received the confirmation back from Carnival and I have $820 in OBC for next week's cruise. :D:D Add that to our $100 future cruise certificate OBC and we have our tips, drinks, pictures and maybe a arcade game or two for the kids paid for with OBC. Yeah!!

 

If you are firm on your dates, I can't recommend ES enough.

Not a bad way to start the cruise off~ Congrats~!

I'm jealous! We always book Early Saver and our rate has never been lowered. Ours usually goes up for some reason.

 

Congrats on all your onboard credit though, I am happy it has worked out for you. :)

That's fantastic! Congratulations! I always book early saver but the most I have ever gotten is $120 apiece for 2 people in the cabin. I have had other small reductions, but nothing like what you got! Enjoy your cruise. Nancy

The most I have had before is $40. I had screen shots from IE, Chrome, Safari and on my phone just to prove the rate. Then I read the post about the lady who booked at a great rate only to find out it was an error. I didn't start spending the money in my head until I received a confirmation back from Carnival.

 

My dad had a few rate adjustments on his balcony before final payment that came through quick, but this one took awhile so I was nervous.

 

If anyone is looking to cruise over Thankgiving, past guest rates on the Miracle are still $399. :D Again, I am sure ES isn't for everyone, but I am so glad it's was we book.

We were on the Miracle last Dec and loved it. That was the southern Caribbean - now we are on an eastern. I will be sure to post when we return. What route are you doing?

WOW Great way to save money on your cruise. We just made our final payment so I am hoping to see a decress. Booked Early Save so we will see,

:eek:Wow. I have had multiple small drops ($20-$40 each) that have definitely added up, but nothing that big. I think we have had about $120 to $160 total in price drops, some of which came off the payment and some will be OBC because we paid off the balance early. And I am happy with that. I would be totally over the moon with your price drops. And that is a really good rate too. I think ours is still a little higher than I would like but hopefully it will go down even more. I am hoping to go for a balcony but I have a certain price point it needs to hit and it hasn't. And with every drop I get in price on my cabin without dropping my original balcony price point that I am willing to go, I see less and less reason to upgrade... If it even gets to the price I am willing to pay with the way it keeps dropping, it will end up being $500 (or more) to go with a balcony and I might aw well just stay in my OV.
