Price Drop on FTTF!

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

I got FTTF for $59.99. I just saw on the excursion page for my cruise, the price is now $49.99. Should I cancel and rebook it, or submit a price guarantee form?

Wasn't it always $49.99? Did they raise the price and when?:confused:

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

They raised it a couple months ago I guess? Not sure exactly when. But, I absolutely paid $59.95

WOW! I'm very surprised at that since it doesn't cost Carnival a thing for FTTF to board along with Diamond and Platinum folks. Well, as I always say FTYW (Faster to Your Wallet).

You run the risk of not getting it back if you cancel it. Have you tried calling Carnival and asking them about giving you the $10 credit?

I just purchased my FTTF last week sailing on the Victory next week and I paid $49.99.

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

Yes I did. She said the price should be $59.95. But, I'm definitely seeing $49 on my excursion page.

 

Could I book FTTF under my wife, and, assuming I get it for $49, then cancel the first one I bought (under my name)?

How many days is your sailing? Only 5 days or more went up in price

You can try, but I am not sure if the carnival software will know one is already purchased for the cabin.

Is it really worth the all the hassle for an extra $10? If it is 5 days or more FTTF is now $59.99.

If you cancel, you probably won't be able to rebook. Once they are shut down, that's it. And pvp's can't adjust as it's considered a shore excursion.

I just got excited but when I checked it for our cruise in November, it's still $59.95. I was able to get one for us a month or so ago but our friends who are sailing with us haven't been able to get it yet, so I keep checking several times a day to see if one has opened up yet.

I thought it was $49.xx for cruises under a certain number of days, and $59.xx for cruises over a certain number of days sailing. The price changes went into effect in the last 90 days.

As it is considered a shore excursion, is it covered under the best price guarantee? Trying to decide if I'm better off trying this route, or booking under wife, before cancelling one booked under me

Before you cancel it, book a second FTTF under the second person in the cabin. Then cancel your FTTF. That was you don't lose out.

I would try booking as your wife first. If you get it, then cancel yours.

If that doesn't work, contact them about the best price guarantee...

I sail July 2nd. I purchased June 15'ish

[You Me & the Sea]

Just went online, cancelled the FTTF I purchased for $59.95 re-purchased it under another cabin mates name for $49.95. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Cakediva1]

5 day sailing. As long as my receipt and docs says $49.99!

[Cakediva1]

oops it is a 4 day not 5

bold to cancel first and then repurchase. There are some cruises that they go like wildfire. Congrats

We booked a 7 day cruise on the Magic on November 8th and got our FTTF for $49.95. So not really sure where the difference lies.

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

Got FTTF in wife's name for $49 and cancelled one in mine. My booking page shows it correctly. I got the email confirmation of the purchase right away. How long before I get email confirmation of refund for cancelled one?

[snc_cam]

congrats. I think it takes 3 business days to get a credit. However, I would think the email should come within 24 hours. If you don't get it tomorrow, check with Carnival excursions.
