CrusingGolfers Posted August 23, 2012 #102 Share Posted August 23, 2012 All I know is my wife was planning on booking last week for a cruise in Late Jan or early Feb on the Legend or Liberty and our PVP basically wouldn't let her because she said "this next sale" is going to be a great one. She informed us to call her back tomorrow and get details. So I will be up bright and early on the phone to her to figure this out. If it is just some normal sale and really doesn't give us anything great I'll be upset. We had a guarntee balcony room reserved last week before she told us to hold off a week for "the next sale". Hope this is worth the wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPGirl Posted August 23, 2012 #103 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Sale is up and running and as usual I can pay an extra $500 to get a $200 credit, crazy carnival sales !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph7021 Posted August 23, 2012 #104 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yep, bummer looks like all the other "sales" they have. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelin' Nauti' Posted August 23, 2012 #105 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I hate to be negative nancy, but usually these alleged sales are much ado about nothing. Debbie Downer!!! :D Totally agree with you!!! All hype no action! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted August 23, 2012 #106 Share Posted August 23, 2012 So, I booked ES and the price is the same but the sale advertises up to $100 back per stateroom. How does that work? If I call will they give me that cash as OBC? I am paid in full. UPDATE: I sent in ES form, just incase, asking for the $100 as OBC. If it is approved, where do you find it on your booking? On the payment page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKF97 Posted August 23, 2012 #108 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Sale is up and running and as usual I can pay an extra $500 to get a $200 credit, crazy carnival sales !!!! Exactly! I don't understand what the benefit is. Do people actually book those rates when the other rates are right there in front of you and alot cheaper? I don't get it.

kona_wahine Posted August 23, 2012 #109 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ignore my post above. ;). I played with the booking form and see its $100 more using the past guest savings. So, there goes the $100 cash back. I guess they think carnival customers can't add. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted August 23, 2012 #110 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We have a group of 22 going on the Glory in January and staying in all different types of cabins. The only one that dropped with the current sale was the interior for 3 people. I applied for the $58 price drop. Better than nothing I guess!

Rare maxandmolly Posted August 23, 2012 #111 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Just another non-sale sale. No price drop for me. I did get a $20 drop earlier this week (single occupancy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted August 23, 2012 #112 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Was talking to my PVP today about a possible upgrade for our upcoming cruise. We were chatting about the OBC that we received from a couple of price drops. She said she did not recommend me doing any upgrade tonight but waiting until Thursday because they had a meeting today about a "big sale" that will be starting Thursday. I had a conversation with her about Carnival's "sales" and that I really did not see much price difference. :rolleyes: She said this coming sale is totally different from the norm "because of a large quantity of inventory" that Carnival has. So if you are a ES like me or looking to book, it might not be a bad idea to keep a watch on Thursday just to see if it really is a good one. It may not be what she cracked it up to be but it never hurts to be on the look out. Hope we all find some great deals and OBC!!! just curious. you gonna keep that pvp?

Rare Tapi Posted August 23, 2012 #115 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I guess they think carnival customers can't add. Lol Considering that Carnival makes a killing every time they have one of these "sales", the answer is YES. They truly bank on people who buy under pressure and get wowed by the word "sale", without checking what kind of deal they are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letiha Posted August 23, 2012 #116 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The rate is still $80 dearer than when i paid with ES with the sale fare... only $30 dearer with the usual rate. I have a balcony and they look like there is only a few left for our cruise on the Destiny on 3 November, so its unlikley it will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggieworkman Posted August 23, 2012 #118 Share Posted August 23, 2012 this is not what the email from carnival stated... I will do a little searching and see if I still have it. All I can say is try to cancel or do a name change. You will find out very quickly that it is still considered ES and you must follow the ES rules. Think about it. If your situation actually took you "out of ES", then what would prevent people who wanted to cancel but couldn't because they were ES from just taking a random upgrade from some sale, get out of their ES and then cancel their booking?

shaw04 Posted August 23, 2012 #125 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I didn't even bother looking for price reductions for my Dec 15 cruise. My TA told me that the sale prices were going to be for cruises starting Dec 20 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
