Help...I dont know how reduced rates work

[theriac]

I booked my cruise through Expedia about 2 months ago. I go online today to add someone else to the cruise. I now notice the cruise has dropped about $65 per person. I'm 24 days from sailing and Expedia offered a money back guarantee if the cruise can be booked cheaper. Does anyone know how and/or if this can be done since its after final payment?

Call them and see if they will do anything for you. It never hurts to ask.... all they can do is say no. Do you know if you booked early saver when you booked?

You really need to call them...the "Best Price" offer is one of their promotions, not a Carnival thing. It's even possible that what you think is a price drop is only the price when shown divided by 3 if you're just now adding a 3rd passenger. I'm noticing more and more on-line TA sites doing that with the pricing now; dividing it by the total number of persons in the cabin rather than showing one price for the 1st/2nd and a greatly reduced price for the 3rd/4th's. FWIW I've booked lots of cruises on the "other" site; (not Ex&^%*a, the one with the Gnome) and have had good experiences with their service reps; better even than some of the Carnival PVP's I've tried to deal with directly.
