cruizinisthebest Posted October 21, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not me, I reported my happy results earlier in this thread and no one said a peep on here in reply. I guess it got overlooked in the midst of all the initial denials! Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetTcruiser Posted October 21, 2014 #77 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I submitted mine this morning. How long does it take to hear something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted October 21, 2014 #78 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I submitted mine this morning. How long does it take to hear something? Most of us got a response back in MINUTES. Very weird you did not. Is this the form you used? http://www.carnival.com/request-forms/price-protection-claim.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySam1968 Posted October 21, 2014 #79 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I submitted mine this morning. How long does it take to hear something? My first one took about an hour. Did you get confirmation the form was submitted? I noticed the system seemed to have some issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmarcosman Posted October 21, 2014 #80 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I guess it got overlooked in the midst of all the initial denials! Congrats!!! Yes, people are so busy posting they don't take time to read and learn. I specifically said: "price protection forms are for the birds." I thought that would raise a flag, but no. Thanks for the pat on the back and I wish you and others here good luck. Sorry you couldn't sleep last night but hey, you saved me $65 ;) Edited October 21, 2014 by sanmarcosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the form you used?http://www.carnival.com/request-forms/price-protection-claim.aspx I used the form on their site for price guarantee. It told me that it was submitted, but I didn't get an email or anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 21, 2014 #82 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looking back at my emails from today, I didn't get a response saying it was submitted but did get the denial email about 10-15 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean Carnival is in denial? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetTcruiser Posted October 21, 2014 #84 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just submitted it using the link. We shall see what happens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted October 21, 2014 #86 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just submitted it using the link. We shall see what happens now. Since I seem to only book ES because it is the cheapest when I book, I have bookmarked the price protection form page. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 21, 2014 #87 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just going in and checking the price again for the cruise, I found a new rate that wasn't there this morning; which seems to continue the trend they update the rates around 10ish and 4pm-ish. There is a new Senior Rate which would have been equivalent to my just past rate that I changed today. But this sale still beats it by $60 thanks to the $70 OBC. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted October 21, 2014 #96 Share Posted October 21, 2014 sorry to hear that... so you can't get the OBC either? What if you canceled and rebooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds exhausting :( Emailing a PVP makes the process much easier and I always include a screen shot showing the sale promo information AND the deck plan showing the cabins that are available in the category so the PVP has it all in one glance.

cruizinisthebest Posted October 21, 2014 Author #100 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not everyone books using a PVP. I know I don't. I've gotten successful price drops before but always by calling. People are using the form initially, because Carnival has said you must submit the form first. Then call if there's a problem. Well there's almost always a problem, because it seems as though the form is automatically rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
