Krazcruiser Posted March 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I received a 200 dollar credit for my July 22 trip on the Breeze. It doesn't hurt to call once in while. Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comiso13 Posted March 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I booked a little over a week ago for a December cruise. How often should I realistically check to see if there are any price drops or other offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted March 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I booked a little over a week ago for a December cruise. How often should I realistically check to see if there are any price drops or other offers? I check about twice a day. It only takes a second on the computer. Sometimes price drops suddenly pop up and suddenly disappear. :o I have hit it lucky quite a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes more than that for me to just to get filter applied to get to month and ship. Then stepping through the selections for number of passengers, # of rooms, then choosing type of plan, type of room, section on ship and then the desired floor. What do you do differently?

nutterbutter818 Posted March 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I do it everyday too. It is so quick and easy to do......it is definitely worth 5 seconds of my time since I recently received a $140 OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garghamel Posted March 4, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Only takes a minute. I tend to check once or twice a week. Have two rooms booked for April and have received $250 per room in OBC. If I see a lower price I email my Carnival rep the price difference and he applies the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... but It's what you typed.... doubt you could check in under a full minute with how poorly the Carnival site is coded.

Shaded Lady Posted March 4, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was wondering the same as bobandsherry. When I do a price check the only way I know how is to do a full mock cruise, emulating what I have now... and that takes a few minutes for me. How do you all do it so quickly?

kellbellscruise Posted March 4, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2018 When you do the mock booking do you keep your VIFP number in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted March 4, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2018 When you do the mock booking do you keep your VIFP number in? Yes, because you have less expensive options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutterbutter818 Posted March 4, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 4, 2018 When I pull up the CCL website, it already has my VIFP # populated so it really is quick and easy to do a mock booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not clean your history.... The cruise data information (i.e. # of people, age, etc.....) should already be on the site when you access it. Then you just have to choose the date and ship. When I am checking prices on several internet agencies for a specific cruise....My general info is already populated so all I have to do is several clicks....then just view the cabin options/price for that specific cruise. It is pretty quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Click on “previous searches” and it will drop down your last 3 searches. Doesn’t save to much time, but it’s something. I literally just timed myself doing a mock booking and it took 33 seconds. I went from a blank internet page to the page where you select “garauntee” vs “let me choose my room”. I usually stop at the page previous to that when checking for price drops. That’s worth it to me to save some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisch Posted March 6, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just checked, called and received a $100 credit on our June Vista sailing! Score!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiso13 Posted March 6, 2018 #21 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I am in an inside cabin and I've checked a few times to find not only are they offering anything better than what I have, there are almost no inside cabins left. IF there was an upgrade opportunity, they would contact me with the offer, wouldn't they? Doesn't matter in the end, I chose an inside since I am cruising solo and needed to keep costs low.

Hllb Posted March 6, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I called my TA today, hoping to move my 2 cabins to midship (one balcony one interior). I expected to save $100 even with the better location...I saved $487. I still don’t know how but I’ll take it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
