Finding a cruise price for less?

[kdinkus1]

What happens if I book a cruise and then find it for less on a site other than Carnival? (I hope it's ok to ask this question here) Do I call my Carnival TA or not? Thanks in advance... Also, I know that there are different categories as well, so do I call the 'other' company to get their price (I wonder if they will tell me $$ since I'm already booked) for that category. Has anyone done this before and how is it suggested that I do just that?

For the most part TAs aren't allowed to low ball Carnival. Carnival's loosened up a bit on them but not a whole lot. Many times fares do change. It simply a matter of calling whomever you booked with to make the change.

 

Need to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. That is, the bottom line is lower not just the fare. Same fate type, etc.

Also check for hidden TA fees. Some will charge you even for service calls or the most minute change.

You can only match to a rate available on the carnival site.
