suzyq213 Posted June 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So tell me.....what do you do when you see that the price has dropped? Call Carnival and request that price? I'm booked for December on Glory so I've got time to look for sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked for December on Glory so I've got time to look for sure. Thanks Go to Google and search for Carnival Early Saver Form and you cannot miss it. You need your booking number and a few other pieces if info. Tell them what you saw price wise compared to yours, where you saw it and when. Grab a print screen never hurts. You should here back in a biz day. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickCruiser Posted June 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2013 One more thing....they deal with price per person. Forget the taxes and insurance, if your purchased it, to do an apples to apples comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMOM4 Posted June 20, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I make a screen print of the page showing the lower price and then I submit an early saver form. If you aren't booked early saver I think you have to call Carnival and get the adjustment if you haven't paid in full yet. This is our 4th cruise booking early saver and it has really worked out to our advantage every time so far!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southbayer Posted June 20, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I got one $40.00 reduction, I'll keep checking for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyq213 Posted June 23, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well thanks for that info. I already booked and that was via telephone. I know that the very nice Carnival lady looked into all possibilities while I was on the phone with her. I booked 3 cabins for a total of 8 people and I think there were different ways to book the fares. I guess I have to print out my break-down of everything and then go online and compare? It sounds like a lot of work but I'm up for it! I've always booked trips on my own; this is the first time I've called to make the arrangements.

GAMOM4 Posted June 23, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Our cruise just dropped again this afternoon! This time I decided to check the Fall & Winter Past Guest Rates...even though when I first pulled it up it looks like a higher amount....it showed free upgrades...so when I clicked on it and then clicked on the deck we were on ... it was actually cheaper! I put in the Early Saver form about 6:45 and just got the confirmation e-mail where it was approved!!!! So $20.00 on the 19th and $20.00 today...I am pretty happy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksh66 Posted June 24, 2013 #19 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Received $100 reduction and $25.00 OBC so far. The one I did this week was denied d/t it did not apply to my cabin. But thanks to CC I sent them a screen shot and I received the credit! :D Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursinggal Posted June 24, 2013 #20 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I am so glad I checked this forum tonight. I immediately pulled the PC out and went to Carnival and put "fare viewer" in the search engine to check current rates. Glad I did. I called the agent right up and got a price drop of $120 for my hubs and I. This is the second drop for us with a total of $160 savings! If ever in doubt, call Carnival and speak to an agent. They are always helpful! They will make sure you qualify and let u know your options. It never hurts to ask :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Okay, so I went to set up alerts on Cruise Fish and they wanted to charge me for alerts. I just check the Carnival site from time to time and in the search engine I put "fare viewer". It's free that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
