sweetTcruiser Posted October 21, 2014 #101 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Aww. No OBC? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not a dime. She did say that there would be other price drops before then and I would have to forgo this to get it. I did however get them to move us to a porthole room on my November trip and got the OBC for it. First call for it I was denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmarcosman Posted October 21, 2014 #102 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Not everyone books using a PVP. I know I don't. Yes, that's correct. I'm providing my experience to those whose frustrations may lead them to consider using a PVP. This is what these boards are designed for: information sharing, such as yours which saved me $65 :) Edited October 21, 2014 by sanmarcosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTPieRye Posted October 21, 2014 #103 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey Rye, I remember discussing that the other week. Good luck getting this one done with only a couple of days. :) Steve Woohoo!!! Got the price adjustment for all 3 cabins...another $110.00 OBC for our January 2014 sailing. NOTE: I tried to get price adjustment refunded because final payment date hasn't arrived yet, even though I've paid 2 of my cabins off in full. Because of that, they are giving the OBC. In the future, I will probably not pay off my cabins in full so early. Either way I got the $110.00 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's what I want, OBC for a cruise I already took! :) Seriously, congrats for sticking in there and getting the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFuzzyPenguin Posted October 21, 2014 #106 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wasn't booked as Early Saver, but I called them about our cruise November 8 and was told as long as I upgraded my cabin I could take advantage of the deal. Went from cabin 6291 on the Glory to cabin 1052 for $20 total and received a $70 credit. Hopefully I made the right choice - it's only my second cruise and the square room I was originally in looked interesting because of the design, so I hope I don't regret the change.

hotpinkchica14 Posted October 21, 2014 #107 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks so much for this information. It saved me $140 and then gave me $80 obc. Just made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofTheBoy Posted October 21, 2014 #108 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just submitted my form and if approved (though it should as I called to see if I was eligible first) it will result in a very nice OBC!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerReuv Posted October 21, 2014 #109 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If you have ES, then yes, you are eligible as long as the total cost (including taxes/fees) including the reduction for the OBC is less than what you currently have paid. So, if your current rate is $1000. As long as the new rate including the OBC is less than $1000, you are eligible. I don't believe that this is exactly correct. When price matching you do not match taxes and fees to get your discount. You just have to know that if the taxes and fees go up when you price match you will be charged the difference. But, to actually price match, you don't have to consider those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 21, 2014 #110 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I will bow to that answer, however I never call for a price reduction if the total is higher than what I am currently paying. So I always factor in the taxes and fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofTheBoy Posted October 21, 2014 #111 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sooo if its been 30 minutes should I hold out hope that they accepted it since most of the denials were fairly immediate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that is a valid assumption. But I would call before 5pm ET and check to see if they have it. Also, make a screen snapshot in case you need that if the sale ends before you hear back.

Cruiseaholichal Posted October 21, 2014 #114 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Call me greedy, but my two upcoming cruises went up. :( I guess when the price for the Conquest was $239.00/taxes and the Splendor was $199.00/taxes, I can't complain. I am going solo on both, great price for a solo!:D Which Splendor cruise is $199 for a solo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you book ES? We were denied because we weren't ES, but are in a 4K so I don't want to upgrade to OV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I booked ES. I was always ocean view just wanted to move up to Main instead of Riviera. I've never had an interior before. Plus I wanted my son to be able to look out the window and see the sea (or whatever it is to see when we dock). I've had a balcony before but my insane fear of my son falling over prevents me from doing balcony until he is much much, MUCH older!

Tommy J Posted October 21, 2014 #122 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks! for the post. Saved 60$ on 8C plus got a $120.00 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicruisin Posted October 21, 2014 #123 Share Posted October 21, 2014 My rate stayed the same, but I was still eligible for the OBC. My forms were denied, but the telephone rep was very helpful. Two cabins- $140 OBC! Yay! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr616 Posted October 22, 2014 #124 Share Posted October 22, 2014 After getting declined for"rate is higher" (cruise rate was $30 less but end result after tax/port fees was $9.40 more) my PVP was able to make the change so I pay $9.40 more but get $60 more OBC...I'll take that deal:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsvarp Posted October 22, 2014 #125 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Can't sleep, so I go on the Carnival site just to check for middle of the night price drops, :p . No luck with that, but I do see under the deals section Carnival has a new pricing category for past guests. $10 OBC per day per stateroom. Two-category upgrade. Choose your room. Applies to sailings between October 2014-March 2015 where early saver has expired. For those sailing or looking to book during that period, check it out. Good luck! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the heads up. Sent my first price protection form with guidance from a carnival rep while on the telephone, and it was still declined within about 1-2 hours after sending stating the rates available are more expensive then current booked rate. I just called the number provided, stated that I submitted my price protection from and it was declined even with a CCL employee walking me through the procedure. His response, "we're still working out the kinks". Price drop of $40, and $60 OBC, equal $100 OBC due to being paid in full. Whoo Hoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
