Is this too good to be true?

I found a 14 day cruise out of Los Angeles 1-9-22 for a 2 guest interior stateroom for $100 per person + taxes, fees & port expenses $387.72 totalling $587.72 on Carnival Miracle.  I placed a courtesy hold on the reservation.  I keep thinking this is an glitch or something.  Has anyone seen anything like this?  Is this too good to be true?

DANG..... Carnival sure doesn't like me very well.  I looked up that cruise and I'm getting $1919 plus taxes & fees for an interior and $2489 for a balcony.  

 

I guess I've got too many cruises booked with Carnival, maybe I should find another line and go away for awhile.  It's just crazy what games they play with fares.

We recently got a super rate for a balcony cabin out of New Orleans in January.  It was an invitation only rate and was less than half of what we normally pay.  We did the same as you, put it on hold and came back in a couple of days to pay the deposit.

It's probably not a glitch.  There are some great rates available right now.

Same here, except for the Glory in December over Christmas week.  We jumped on it!  Fingers crossed that our tests go well!

Is it a casino deal?

I did the same thing when I got the $25 casino offer - did the booking and put it on hold to check with PVP to make sure it was legit (daughter thought it was a scam) - sure enuf it was legit and finalized booking through my PVP

 

if you have a concern, call Carnival, talk to a PVP (if you dont have one)and verify, then finalize the booking

 Yep it’s true, got it too. Didn’t bite on that but I did bite at a 7 day on the Panorama balcony room and book for $130 per person a few weeks ago - we leave Saturday!

 I should add that the interior was only $10. 
 

clausterphobis so never lol

It is probably legit. When I went to book my 5 day solo December Breeze cruise, the Carnival website gave me three choices at checkout: $280 for any balcony cabin, but they wanted all the money now; around $400 or $500 with some other type offer; around $900 with another type of offer. I dawdled too long making my mind up about the large aft balcony for $280 and someone else grabbed it, so I opted for a regular balcony. Taxes and port fees are additional, but still didn't break the bank.

My $10 offer was not a casino offer. I don’t gamble. If I wanted to I live in Lake Tahoe though….

 

hadn’t planned on this cruise, but at $130 pp for high deck balcony room on a newer ship - panorama -1 hour cheap flight to port - I went for it!

 

Ive gotten tons more offers for $10-100 lately too but no vacay time lol

Got a decent offer at $69 pp on a couple of different cruises but never the $25, is yours casino?

A few are and a few aren't, all $100. My newbies got the $25 offer that are not casino.  If I was retired, my feet wouldn't hit land for months
