nitro2448 Posted September 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Super saver does not qualify for price protection, but can't hurt to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxley Posted September 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Super saver does not qualify for price protection, but can't hurt to try That is true, but the 48 hr price thing should still be good. OP, you had better hurry and call. I booked my cruise earlier today, and it is $10 cheaper now. If I call will they do anything or am I SOL?

I'm not sure the 48 hour rule will apply, but that's why I said it wouldn't hurt to call, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted September 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think you can get price drops up to the official time of final payment. It's only with ES that you get OBC after that. Sent from my iPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitro2448 Posted September 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I totally agree:) You might agree, but that just makes you both wrong. Lol, here's the policy As you might see, super saver does not qualify for price match Edited September 2, 2014 by nitro2448 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethepirate Posted September 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2014 People quote bad info sometimes. Not everybody gets price protection even before final payment. Super Saver and Instant Saver do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted September 2, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I cannot answer without all of the info. For instance, if this is a cruise booked for next year you can always cancel with no penalty and rebook under the new pricing. However, it's unlikely that you couldn't just get them to refund the difference as it would be a lot easier for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if this is a cruise booked for next year you can always cancel with no penalty and rebook under the new pricing. However, it's unlikely that you couldn't just get them to refund the difference as it would be a lot easier for them. No you can't. SUPER SAVER Cruise rates are in US dollars, per person and based on double occupancy. Offer is capacity controlled. Carnival reserves the right to withdraw and/or change offer at any time without prior notice. Cruise Fare does not include Taxes, Fees & Port Expenses. Taxes, Fees & Port Expenses range from $37.06 to $319.82, and are assessed on a per guest basis and according to the itinerary. A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit is required at the time of booking. Full names are required for each guest. No name changes are allowed. Category restrictions and exclusions apply. Offer is applicable to guarantee categories IS/OV/BL/ST only. Guest may select stateroom type (e.g. interior, ocean view, balcony or suite), but Carnival assigns the deck and location of the stateroom. Stateroom assignment will be provided at the time of check in on embarkation day. Super Saver fare does not qualify for price protection. Subsequent upgrades in lieu of price protection will no longer be offered. Cancellation penalties apply. Request rate code PSV. Offer is not available on Carnival Australia sailings. Ships' Registry: The Bahamas, Panama & Malta. You can use the 48 hour price protection but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted September 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Anything is possible. I've cancelled super saver before and rebooked under early saver. I've changed names under an ES booking 6 weeks before a cruise at no charge. Not everything is black and white my friend.. everything is grey.

pbsteve Posted September 2, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Such hypocrites on today. NO MATTER HOW YOU BOOK, THE 48 HR PRICE GUARANTEE APPLIES. Call carnival, let them know you booked today, and it went down, and want to claim the 110% best price guarantee. you will get not just the difference, but an extra 10%.

Apparently you don't know what hypocrite means, but if I go on your belief of the word, you yourself would be one. You don't call carnival you submit the form online. The program can be changed or cancelled at anytime. So the program may or may NOT include price drops. And I know that I at least said to call and ask, it can't hurt.

And you are right, kind of, the 48 hour deal used to be call in. Now it has its own form http://www.carnival.com/content/lowest-price-guarantee.aspx?icid=CC_FAC_455 If you use the form for early saver it'll be denied.

But the 110% lowest price guarantee is available to any booking of any rate, the rates don't all qualify for price drop protection after 48 hrs, but everyone has 48 hours to find a lower price. I helped friends just last week do it for a cruise they left on yesterday. They booked on Aug 23 and the price went down 25 on the 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the terms of Super Saver which gives you a best price for a guarantee cabin. No changes or price protection is included in that rate. Everybody gets the 48 hour price protection and that's what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadroy Posted September 3, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 3, 2014 One of the problems with this type of question is if you read CC a lot, you read where people SHOULD NOT HAVE gotten any consideration, but for whatever reason, they did. All of you have read of the people who are a week before sailing, have a death in the family, and allowed to move (which is actually a cancellation) the reservation to another cruise without a problem. My same grip with John Heald. People who read his Facebook postings end up thinking you get strawberries and champagne because it is a celebration of the birth of your dog.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsear Posted September 3, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks for the replies everyone. In case anyone is sitting at the edge of their seat for an update, they did honor it. I received a $40 credit (price went down $20/person), but did not receive an additional 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
