santanamarie Posted April 2, 2015 #152 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Booked my very first cruise for over Christmas this year 😁 and while I'm not expecting any price drops since its a holiday cruise I've become addicted to checking the price daily and searching out discount carnival gift cards lol...if anyone has any discount secrets they'd like to share I'm all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspenland Posted April 3, 2015 #153 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Booked the carnival Sunshine 9 months in advance for a 7 night cruise floor 6 interior $491 per person early saver. Was offered upgrade to balcony choose your room for $100 more per person so we now have balcony room for $591 per person and we got to choose our room! Early saver is the best for upgrades!

santanamarie Posted April 3, 2015 #155 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Where do you look for discount carnival giftcards? I've seen a lot of posts recently about Verizon points you can use for discounted gift cards but every time I check they are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixiegal Posted April 3, 2015 #156 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I saved $190 earlier this week so I'm a happy camper! Whittling away at the price.... It's so expensive to sail in the summer on the Southern Caribbean routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dioxide45 Posted April 4, 2015 #158 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I just don't get it, went to fare finder, and booked a mock,,, it shows a great price drop,,, called TA they called Carnival and said NO they don't see that price... instead of it being close to 500 savings on 4 on an inside it's only 250 I did take a screen shot of Carnival's web sites,,,, but they don't want to see it,,, How do I get the price drops I am seeing And Can I do their form or does the TA have to do it for me? Do you have more than one cruise booked? I had an issue a couple weeks ago where I called my TA and they called Carnival and they didn't see the drop. The problem was that they were looking at a different cruise that we had booked. I did give them the details of the cruise where the drop existed. They got back on with Carnival and got it straightened out and got us the lower rate. Is your travel agent a big online agency? If so, you could call back and see if you can get a different agent. Sometimes it just takes working with someone else to get it done. Edited April 4, 2015 by dioxide45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4ular Posted April 4, 2015 #159 Share Posted April 4, 2015 When I got my price drops, my confirmation email was a rejection, saying my the submission was higher than my original price. I sent a screenshot to the email address, and told them that they need to update their calculator. Sure enough they gave me the lower rate. I had a similar experience on the 27th, but in the end, after many times being put on hold, the TA finally acquiesced and the fare was dropped - I didn't back down - they said was "my fare already was lower than the currently posted fare" - um, except it wasn't.

Bellacruiser2712 Posted April 5, 2015 #160 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We've had great luck finding price drops. So far, our price has fallen $500+ for four on the Breeze sailing June 20. But we love the fare-finder link. We've wondered how to compare prices after final payment was sent and comparable cabins were sold out. Fare-finder (http://www.carnival.com/BookingEngine/FareViewer/#) should allow us to check prices as often as we want up until 2 days to departure. Still hoping we can secure OBC before sailing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberdc87 Posted April 6, 2015 #168 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just got another price drop for our November 15 sailing on the Dream. This price drop was only $20.00 per room (We have 2 rooms) but i'll take it. That makes $120.00 in price drops since I booked on March 21st!

mlipreston Posted April 7, 2015 #169 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I guess I booked my September cruise on the Dream at a good time because since booking the rate has been more than what I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
