Love that--Triple Play Sale!!!

[Buffalofirsttimer4]

Received an email from Carnival this morning regarding - Triple Play Sale-cash back, free upgrades & great rates. Emailed my PVP to see if we qualified for anything. Was able to get $100 OBC as we booked Fun Select. Ohh so happy :D!!!

 

First time going on Carnival and we haven't even step foot on the ship and I'm lovin it ;).

 

Happy Sailing!

Checked it for my cruise and after calculating the "perks" I would have to pay a total of a hundred bucks more than the current past guest rate. No thanks......

Did a fake booking and it came out higher than our price.

Same here. Not much of a sale, would cost me more than what I already paid

If you book early saver, or are a senior, or past guest, or military- you usually can do better. But if you are new to it, young(ish), etc- it can be a great deal. But keep at it- you'll get old soon enough and then you too can sail cheaper.

OP live and learn.

Yeah, I booked a cruise last night, and then today see the sale deal, and was thinking, I guess I messed up, but after comparing to my ES rate, it would be quite a bit more. The sale only helps last minute folks.

I booked ES and the Triple Play is less than what I paid per person and has the OBC so I just applied for it. I hope it works out. All of the options listed are cheaper than what I paid back in July.

It doesn't really help last minute folks because I booked my cruise a few days before the sale started for a last minute cruise and it was almost two hundred dollars higher than my past guest rate.

I was talking about this very issue with my TA about a week ago. She says she's so glad I understand these "sales and specials." She said she has to work hard to explain to some clients that these are really mostly meant for newbies to cruising.

[MrsZee]

If the upgrades were really upgrades, then it would be a good deal. But, when mock booking it, I only get upgraded by one balcony and then any others significantly increase the price, even though it says "Free Upgrades included in price". I dunno, I'll stick with Early Saver.

 

But OP, whatever gets you on the ship you should be happy with! Enjoy yourself!

[Froufie]

I tried it out and would end up paying $140 more for $100 in OBC??? Well that doesn't make much sense to me and not really a 'special' or a sale!!!

Yeah, these "sales" are never actually sales! I checked the price of mine before the sale and then after....its $100 more per person after the sale started!

[golfadj]

Booked a new cruise today and the so called sale was 100 more than ES.

[aidansaunt2004]

I checked out this "sale" as well. I'm curious where the sale is. The rates were higher than ES and past guest. We would have to pay over $200 extra to get a $150 OBC :eek: As far as the upgrades go, on the spirit I don't think there is an upgrade from the French Doors unless they upgrade you to a balcony but I highly doubt that would happen.

 

I did notice something quite strange though. To upgrade from interior to the french doors with the ES rate was $14 pp/pd. To do the same upgrade using the past guest rate it was $17 pp/pd. Past guest rates are supposed to be beneficial to past guests so why would it be an extra $3 per day, per person?
