Will Carnival honor this for me?!? $327 balcony on Magic

[RMcoolX]

Here's the proof. In fact, I looked at 3 different ships, and they all are advertising the balconies for $300+ right now!!!

That is an amazing price!! I hope they do keep us posted! I am sure there is supposed to be a 1 in front of the 3 but its worth a shot!! Good luck!

Just saw it, I hope they do good deal

[RMcoolX]

I'm calling now, but of course I'm on hold again. They will probably tell me that this is the price for up to 4 people in the cabin, plus another 10 people on the balcony.

 

...you know, kind of like the Triumph!!! ;)

I called earlier and they told me they do not see this price. I told her I was looking at it and she said the first screen is not always updated. I can't wait to hear what you find out.

It says FROM $309 .. you dont say what category you booked .. also when I see FROM $309, it usually is some other date when you click thru.. try clicking thru and see what you get.

Gone now...I was booking! :D

[LWiening]

I would think they would. It is showing on their site..Whether type error or not . Did you hit the select o see what happens.

[psubill78]

why would you call? Why wouldn't you just book it if you found a good rate? Seems silly to me!

Saw the same on my Pride cruise. 500 pp for balcony but 700 for oceanview. Of course when I continue the balcony goes to 3800 for 4. Looks lie their IT team is preparing for April 1st a little early.

I hope you do but I think you’re going to be told it’s a glitch.

If you go to the next screen where you choose your rate – the prices are MUCH different – which is probably why you are calling and not booking on line.

That rate also does not show on their booking engine, so they will not see it.

I called carnival and they said they could not honor any price because there is a glitch in there system.

[RMcoolX]

They fixed it now. The guy I talked to on the phone initially saw the same $327 pp price, and he even said "Wow, the price DID drop"...then silence, then he said that it's actually more now. I said there may be a glitch and he then said it must be.

 

Oh well, it was worth a try! :D

The same thing happened when I was checking prices for our Pride cruise. The first section said $330pp for a balcony and it jumped up to $489pp after I got to the section where you pick your rate type. You've got to love that rush that you get before you get to the section with the actual rates. :rolleyes:

[Quilting_Cruiser]

You would need to click through that screen to get a final price anyway--the price on that screen isn't the final price. And, it goes both ways. On my cruise it says balconies from something like $1349 and when you click through they're down to $849.

[mephistoles]

I saw the same thing earlier while checking for price drops on the Breeze. It was showing $300 for balconies and needless to say, I was too excited for words. However, when I continued through with the booking the prices were much MUCH higher. Oh well....:(

My experience has been that those rates are always for the cheapest of those categories as well (like obstructed balcony, or a guarantee balcony).

I wouldnt have cared if it was for a gty balcony, I would have jumped on it. I was looking myself when I saw this thread.

 

Too late and they fixed it? Or the price next existed.

 

I would take a gty for that price in a heartbeat... bring it on. I live in TX and ready to cruise in the near future. I dont have anything booked until next July.
