missguy Posted January 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have a cruise booked early saver with a 50$ OBC promo, Now I see the price drop of 20$ total. Will they add it to the 50$ that I have or just give me 20$ and forfeit the 50$? It is before final payment. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsgu Posted January 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Before final payment, they will reduce what you owe. But, if the new price that is $20 lower does not include OBC, you will forfeit the $50 you already have -- in essence, you'll be $30 poorer. If the new price still includes the OBC, then go for it.

missguy Posted January 31, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ok I get it. That is the case with the current Carnival sale, no obc just price drop. But I see on an another website that gives 50$ obc (which I already have) and shows the price drop. Should I submit the form or call my PVP to claim the 20$ difference?

Carnival will not price match to TA promotional OBC (since that comes out of the TA's commission). Also, don't forget that if you booked with a $50 deposit, you will be required to make the full deposit before any price matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this with the last $50 deposit promotion CCL had going on. I was told that they won't match the price because its not a carnival advertised price.

Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted February 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Based on that paragraph, are vifp rates not eligible for price matching as they wouldn't be available to everyone, i.e. the general public?

Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app In my experience, if you received a promotion in your vifp account, you can switch to that promotion as long as it doesn’t stipulate “new bookings only” Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
