KrystalWaters Posted November 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2011 the fare that is. Here is my letter to my friend, John H. Dear John, I went a couple of days ago to do my daily fare check, because I booked ES Rate, and Lord and Behold the price went up by $30! That was three days ago. Today, I looked and wow Carnival, $60 increase!!:eek: Carnival, what gives?! When is it going to end? IS it TOO MUCH to ask for a little OBC? But i love you anyway!:p Your Carnival Cruise Lover, Kristy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B and C Blake Posted November 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I learned after booking our 1st cruise that the original price I paid was by far the greatest! ES Mid ship balcony $749pp the price went up as high as $1049 pp ... I had no qualms whatsoever. Then approx 1 month before sailing Lo and behold .. the price drop fairy paid an unduly visit .. $649pp :eek:yes indeed I jumped on that OBC:D So, just remember patience is a virtue;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise is still about $100 pp higher than we paid ES. We are about 5 - 6 weeks out, maybe we'll see a drop? (fingers crossed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsywych Posted November 10, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2011 No OBC for us :( The Vista suites on the Spirit's Glacier Bay Cruise next September are already sold out. My only consolation was watching them go up and up and up after we booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far in the past year, I have watched it only go up and the best rate I qualify for is still $125 more pp than I paid. Final payment date is less than a week away - so maybe prices will switch then. There are also only 3 staterooms left in my category so probably won't see any OBC. I will check everyday anyway though with fingers crossed. Edit: And I just checked again - and now there are only 2 rooms left. Oh well maybe next time.
