Change/Ugrade Cabins

[camper49]

If I book an 8A cabin using ES (hoping for price drops that might allow an upgrade) and there are no price drops can i pay for an upgrade or do i have to keep our original cabin??

Yes you can pay to upgrade no problem just make sure when you do so that you keep your ES status just incase there will be price reductions after.

the thing that worries me is that I can't find anywhere in my documents where it states I have booked Early Saver... so when "and I hope I do" get price drops along the way how would I know if they took me out of Early Saver... oh how I wish that they would put it on the cruise documents somewhere so you can actually see the booking category your in, but they don't?

Its in the "Notes" at the bottom of your cabin confirmation email

They will always be happy to take more money from you.

Yes, you can! I moved from an OV on 2 to a Balcony on 8 instead of taking the price reduction (ES before final payment) and then after I made final payment, I moved from Balcony on 8 to Balcony on Lido and paid a measly $30 (total!) to do so.

Yes, you can move, but know that once you move, if you want to move again, you can't downgrade; you'll need to move to a higher category or a like category. I.e. You move from 8A to 8D. And later you see 8C is cheaper; you can't move to 8C; you'd have to switch to another 8D cabin or higher.

You'll find it in your confirmation email from Carnival or your TA if you used a TA, but the email still comes from Carnival.

 

Mine was located under Guest Notes. It explains the rates that were used. For my birthday cruise it shows I used a Resident's Rate. You'll see for this booking I used ES.
