sold out

If the cruise ship is completely sold out....are there still price drops ? :rolleyes: Or is this a dumb question ?:eek:

I have heard of TAs having blocks of cabins, and if they don't sell by a certain time, they release them back to Carnival. So it could be possible that Carnival puts a price on these that are lower than you paid, to get them sold at the last minute...but I wouldn't say this happens all the time.

They can't list prices if there's no rooms to price.

Not in my experience on the Magic.....but I got around $800 total in price drops between 2 cabins over about a years time before it sold out....and $400 of that ended up in OBC! We were happy! I got real lucky once...the price dropped $400 around midnight one night and was back up in the morning but I had submitted my form. About 2 weeks before cruising it finally completely sold out and that was the end of price drops for us.

Cant drop price if there is nothing to sell

If someone cancels, and the cabin becomes available in your category maybe the price will be cheaper?

no OBC for us....I checked everyday for months...the closest we came was $ 80 shy of what we paid...it never fell lower !! Guess I'm not blessed with an OBC like so many others that have posted there OBC :mad:

It's all about supply & demand; your cruise must have been selling pretty well (and selling out?), thus no need to drop the prices.

If a cruise sells out they usually have a "Wait list" so no need to drop the price if cabins do become available through cancellations,If they advertised a few cancelled categories at cheap prices then everyone in those categories with ES would claim the price drop!

You like I must have chosen a more popular cruise and perhaps better time,these cruises are usually more expensive to start with and small amounts of OBC would not make most change to a different cruise that wouldnt suit them.

 

You win by getting the best cabin and choice of a cruise that suit you;)

At what point do the blocked cabins get returned to the cruise line? I wouldn't think they could keep them til the last minute but what do I know. lol

Why drop the price if the product is popular enough that it sells out? I would think shareholders would be up in arms if this was happening. ( I know this shareholder would be.)
