Question - Perk for New Diamond - 3rd & 4th Guest Free

[ShamelesslyCruising]

Could anyone please let me know if the 3rd/4th guest free one-time benefit is applied to an early saver fare, does one retain the ability to price adjust if the fare for the 1st and 2nd passenger reduces later?

 

Bonus question: Do I need to wait for some notification of this offer being granted or can I assume it is usable following the cruise that I earned/turned Diamond?

 

 

By the way, here are the terms and conditions from Carnival:

Yes, it is what ever rate you book at.  Yes, once Diamond it will be in your account (visible to booking agent only, not you).  If you have a PVP use them to do it, if not call the Diamond Desk to do it.  Do NOT use a normal Carnival agent.... this will assure it is handled properly
