snc_cam Posted August 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2014 wow, big drop.... I had a 140 one this morning but 70 was taken for higher fees/taxes... But still, been waiting many months for this one to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn6743 Posted August 18, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted August 18, 2014 wow, big drop.... I had a 140 one this morning but 70 was taken for higher fees/taxes... But still, been waiting many months for this one to drop. I though mine was only going to be $210 bc I had a 15% off from a noisey cabin, and they took it off the new price. When I applied it they said I would only get it once...Any money saved it a good day for me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyart Posted August 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Congrats! I didn't book ES but about a week after I did book the price for a Balcony dropped to just $10pp more than my Ocean View. I called up and changed my booking for $20. The happy dance ensued shortly after. Currently for $60 more I can pick my own balcony. I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. Just hoping I can pull off this surprise without spilling the beans. Wife's 50th birthday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getupgo Posted August 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Don't understand why the big ships are big drops and small ships little to no drops. Still waiting for a drop on Sensation in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeing this world Posted August 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 18, 2014 saved 140.04 a room x 3 and free upgrade, went from a 8A to 8E (to us a prime location close to lido door whoo). We could not even get early saver for these (8A) rooms and we booked out over a year ago. I really not sure how much lower these rooms can go for I have never seen prices this low.

It took up until day 19 for me on the Splendor to get a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getupgo Posted August 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2014 There was an upgrade that ended yesterday but I could not figure out how it worked do didn't attempt it. Maybe next time I'll call in and ask for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn6743 Posted August 18, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Im feeling lucky today... I got the Breeze, Southern Carb 8 nights in a cove balcony for $1,400 after my 15% off.... I dont think it will go any cheaper than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted August 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Jenn, I know that feeling. We got in very early on the Pride reposition and the price is up 60% and has been that way for some time. I really don't expect to see a price drop on this cruise and am VERY happy with the price I got for it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicoleakamama Posted August 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I got a price drop too. But the lady somehow changed our stateroom. Had to spend a bit on the phone to switch it back to where we had it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted August 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I just daily go to the Carnival site and do a mock booking and see if the price drops. It takes all of maybe 5 minutes. Today I got lucky... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefuninthesun Posted August 18, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Got OBC from Past Guest Sale, our 5th price drop since booking in May -- we are now down $250PP We also got to upgrade our 8C balcony on Empress to an 8E balcony on Lido, at no charge. Love Lido -- and love Early Saver since we are past final payment date!:D *BTW -- had another exemplary customer service experience with the Carnival rep on the phone! Kudos to them!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicoleakamama Posted August 18, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Nope. We were on empress midship and the new room was foward on upper. We wanted our original room because we have 3 other parties with us and we are all right there together on empress.

kbh2 Posted August 18, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 18, 2014 When is the most likely time for the prices to start dropping? We are booked in March 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival Cutie Posted August 18, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 18, 2014 My sister got a price drop of over $400 on her cabin today, we got an even higher one. At this rate I won't have a balance on my credit card for onboard expenses, as a matter of fact I'm going to treat myself to something in the Fun Shops with it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyart Posted August 18, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 18, 2014 When is the most likely time for the prices to start dropping? We are booked in March 2015? Probably not for a while yet. What I've done was go to Carnival's booking page and filtered out everything so that only my cruise shows. Then I bookmarked the page as "PriceCheckXXX" with XXX being the amount I paid for the room. When I want to check prices I hit the bookmark and I can instantly see if the price went down. Right now the base price is $10 lower. Since I'm not ES I have to upgrade my booking... I don't get a price drop per se but I do get a cheap upgrade if I choose to do it. March is Spring Break time, so don't be discouraged if nothing... or little changes.
