Fare Viewer VS Carnival site pricing

[Pookeybear1966]

I checked our cruise via fare viewer, Balcony category shows 20.00 less than if I mock book via carnival.com. How do I compare if it doesn't show the different categories of balcony pricing on fare viewer (I think our balcony on Empress is a step above what fare viewer quotes (they quote lowest)?)...I sent in the price protection form, which carnival denied...so I went to mock booking and realized the stateroom we have is same price as carnival.com but 20.00 more than fare viewer.

 

Our balcony is on Empress Deck 8C category. Last cruise whatever fare viewer came up with for balcony I submitted and got price reduction.

 

So do I just have to do mock bookings to figure out price matching? And when does fare viewer show all categories to price match to?

On fare viewer you need to take it one step further, choose the rate you are looking at and it will bring up a menu with the catagory prices based on that rate

I didn't see the option to break it down. It gave me one rate only. Maybe cause it's so far out.

I've always seen the categories displayed. The price comparison needs to match exactly though if you're planning to submit a price drop. If you're category is sold out, it will not be listed.

On the fareviewer, once you select whith type of cabin you have booked you have to select continue next and it will break out the cabin categories.

Also keep in mind that the rate on Fare Viewer is before taxes and port fees.
