qzyksw Posted January 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hello, I never looked into this and I have read a couple of reviews which states price drops and OBC's. So... How does someone go about checking? I booked through a cruise agent for a March 26 sailing on Carnival Splendor. It is a balcony room. I did a search and CC shows that balcony rooms have dropped. Do I have a chance of getting something? BTW- I had DW send a note to the cruise agent. But if he says no...does Carnival do anything?

riffatsea Posted January 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi, IF you booked through an agent then the agent has to get you the price drop. Carnival will not speak to you as the agent owns the booking. You can check by doing a dummy/practice booking to see the prices but if your agent won't agree to get you the price drop then you cannot do anything about it. I suppose you could try and transfer the booking back to Carnival and take it away from that agent but not sure how that works. I for sure would never use that agent again!!

springs741 Posted January 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Riff is correct. Booked thru an agent and Carnival can't talk to you. If it is any consolation, unless you booked Early Saver rate, you are likely past final payment for that March sailing. Only ES can price match past final payment.

riffatsea Posted January 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2017 True! I didn't notice the cruise dates. IF you have already paid in full you cannot get a price drop UNLESS you have booked the Early Saver rate originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qzyksw Posted January 31, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for the info. The cruise agent said we booked a promo ($100 per cabin OBC) so we cant get a refund. I asked if Carnival can up the OBC. I will wait and see. I know I am pushing it but I might as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the rate drop be more than $100? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted January 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2017 IF the cruise price drop is less than the $100 it won't pay as you'd lose the OBC. NO, Carnival won't add more OBC for you. Whatever that promo was that's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
