Another great price drop

[jenn6743]

I saved $170 on my cruise next month. Now I'm up to $590 OBC!!!! This is the largest OBC I have ever receive.

 

HAPPY SAVING!!

Are you booked early saver? How did you get that? I'm curious because I have a cruise next month :D

[Carnival_Brides]

We got another $40 price drop. When we booked in June for Thanksgiving on the Freedom, we were in 4J interiors for $1166--we're now in 8C balconies for $1122. Not too shabby. We seem to rack up the majority of our price drops on the Past Guest/72 hour sales.

I just wonder how everyone is getting these, I'm booked early saver and by the time prices started dropping my category was sold out and was told I couldn't get any obc because of that.

[cynthe66]

Heres another question...if I booked through an agent and the payment is final do I have to go through them to request a price drop or can I request it through Carnival myself?

You have to go through the TA

[cynthe66]

Great, guess no price drops for me being she doesn't answer her phone and lets it go to voice mail and doesn't respond to my emails....this is the last time I use a TA. I'll go straight through Carnival next time. It would be nice for the price drops but it's not worth the hassle to try and get ahold of her anymore.

How long did it take to get your approval email? I submitted mine last night anf I have not received an approval or rejection yet.

 

Thanks

In addition to checking what you paid, I recommend checking different room options. For example, I currently have an Ocean View Deluxe on the Breeze for November. For $30 more, I'm able to get a Cove Balcony, never seen an upgrade to a balcony for such a minimal amount.

We are AAA members and used them twice to book cruises. They are pretty blah about it. We now book directly with our agent "Gary" at Carnival, he is terrific, does help a lot, he listens spends the time, guides us and answers all our questions. And he is not pushy either. He always answers his phone and gives his cell phone too.:)

I used a TA last year and it was the last time.

 

This year I just submit a form and it is done.

 

Just checked and another $120 off for my NYE cruise!

 

Sweet!

[mommiemudd]

We are cruising next month. We were booked ES. Racked up enough OBC to get a balcony for $128 more. Then thanks to price drops we are back up to $140 OBC. Worked well for me! My Carnival PVP did the first few price drops for me but I figured out the form and just do it myself now.

Thanks

 

If you haven't gotten it yet, you should call. The last agent I spoke with said they gladly do them over the phone, no problems at all....she said she's seen it too many times where something wasn't right on the form, was denied, etc.

[mum2bradley]

What rate are you all getting your price drop under?

 

I just looked on another thread and they are saying it is for new bookings only. I did put in a price adjustment but have not heard back.

We just received $182 OBC for each of our Lido Balcony cabins on the Magic for next month. We booked Early Saver and rate we received our OBC was the Past Guest sale with free upgrades. I submitted the Price Protection form Sunday night and received the new cabin confirmations with OBC this morning.

Awesome. Love a lido balcony!

[cynthe66]

I thought about doing that but with the inside rooms, but I'm not really wanting to give up my panaroma deck. So I'll forget about trying to get a obc and keep my cabin

[Smokin J]

Just Got a $40:D pp person price drop plus in vacation protection went down $14 pp ;) (that's actually $108 savings)and :)Upgrade my Mom and Dad's booking to Spa Balcony for the same savings of $40 pp. So TODAY I (my Brother and I paying for their cruise) saved $216 on the up coming cruise and got Dad on the floor he "wanted" and got a lower price :D"WOW for Carnival".:D

CAN"T WAIT.

Finally got a price drop for my category for $120 OBC

[Ahays00]

I just submitted the form. I have an interior spa on the sunshine next month. My cat is sold out but ov and balcony rooms are now cheaper than I paid. Wasnt sure if they would accept it or not but received an email confirming the price drop and recevied 278.00 obc. The email came less than 5 mins after I submitted it.

We've gotten most of our drops on the Past Guest/72 Hours sales. There have been three of them since we booked.

[Largolady22]

booked 10/04 Splendor out of NYC, how does one go about getting a possible OBC?

[beauty1492]

Sailed the Pride 3 times-- sailing again in April I have never scored an price drop. So I'm guessing A> we got a a great price or B. there are no price drops for the pride

[cruisingbajan]

I saved $170 on my cruise next month. Now I'm up to $590 OBC!!!! This is the largest OBC I have ever receive.

 

HAPPY SAVING!!

Wow that is a nice chunk of OBC. Congrats.

I booked with the early saver rate, and it was the past passages sale.... I never use a TA, I find I do a better job of getting deal. I received my confirmation email just a fee minutes after getting off the phone....
