BigDog™ Posted June 19, 2013 Author #26 Share Posted June 19, 2013 We booked the Breeze cruise today :D:D:D First time using a PVP and was extremely pleased with that process. He found me much better rates under a past military promotion that did not show up online...AND got us a $50 per person on-board credit.....so ended up only being a net of about $1,300 more for MUCH better rooms on a better ship with the great itinerary!

askimdog Posted August 15, 2013 #31 Share Posted August 15, 2013 2k...save it. 2K is what we try to save and budget per year for the 3 of us. If we can get a 7 day for 3 in an inside room and the round trip plane tickets for 3 all within 2K we book. So for us...2K is a cruise...save it.

Acordant Posted August 15, 2013 #32 Share Posted August 15, 2013 We are planning a 21st birthday cruise for our daughter in October. Big problem for me is this will be my 9th cruise on Carnival (wife's 7th). It is the last week I will get off this year. We REALLY loved the Breeze and want to take her on the 8 day cruise. I know we will enjoy it a lot, great itinerary and the Cheer's program so great for us celebrators! My selfish side thinks maybe we should break this up to a back-to-back 3 and 4 day on the Sensation and then I will get grandfathered in on the Platinum plan by getting my 10th cruise this year.Not sure how much that really means to me though to sacrifice what i know will be a better cruise for her. We always arrive early and board pretty quickly. I often get suites anyway. Don't really care about the free gift much and never do laundry on the ship. There is about a $2K total difference between the back-to-back interior rooms on Sensation and the 8 day Spa Balcony/Spa Interior on Breeze. Knowing that much limited info....which would you choose? You said this is a 21st Birthday gift for her. She will only turn 21 once. You will have plenty of opportunities to turn platinum. What is the best you can do for her?

wrigley80 Posted August 15, 2013 #33 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I say go for the back to back cruises but why not do a B2B on the Ecstasy and Sensation. This way you get two different ships and are still considered back to back....plus with the 5-day Ecstasy itinerary you will get a stop in HMC.....plus the $2,000 that you'll save is a HuGE deal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All she has to say to say is thank you my dear beloved. She is not going to have a bad time. I booked Western Caribbean on Carnival thinking my son would prefer it over Princess, the itinerary I really wanted. The first night at dinner he said, I prefer Priness. I can't say the first thing that came to mine, or even the second :mad:but finally I smiled and said, must be nice to have the knowledge without having a job....grrrrrrrr:D There is a 2K saving which for me would be a no brainer and 21 done right she won't be able to recall much:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
