Early Saver Price Drop for Dummies

[deeceedub]

Sorry- I've read a ton of threads on price drops but this is all new to me and I'm still confused.

 

We booked a deck 6 midship balcony cabin for our 7-day on Glory out of Boston in July. Early Saver $1079/pp.

 

The 3 day Sale doesn't show any Early Saver price options. A few cabins are still available very close to the one we booked. The Past Guest price for these cabins is $1099/pp + two category upgrade and $100 OBC per stateroom.

 

Can I fill out the Early Saver form and ask for the 3 Day Sale rate? I guess we'd be paying $40 more and getting $100 OBC. Would that even work, and is it worth the trouble for $60? And I'm not sure what the catetory upgrades would amount to. Any guidance would be appreciated!

I tried this on the last 3day sale and was denied. They said I could call and pay the extra to change to the new promotion but I would lose my early saver benefits if the price dropped again. I did call just to see and was put on hold so they could speak with a supervisor and was told the same thing. Pay more , lose the ES benefits. It did drop so I am glad I didn't go ahead and go that route. I know some people get different answers from Carnival so take this all with a grain of salt :)

:) Thanks, droy! I think I'll just sit this one out. If no other drop comes along, that's no big deal.

is this the total rate or just the cruise rate?

 

you gotta use the cruise rate only for fare drops

sometimes the fees/taxes change

 

 

but I dont see why they would not do that for you-- youpay the difference take the upgrade and get the OBC

its worth a call to your agent.

 

Our cruise is 220 more to get 140 worth of cabin credit- just not worth it
