JimmyTheSaint Posted March 15 #1 Share Posted March 15 A cruise we have booked and paid the deposit on for 2025 has recently been reduced in price, by $40 per person. I think I might have read sometime ago about Carnival having a policy of refunding the price difference. Does anyone have any experience of this or am I just making up something I wished would happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulieG13 Posted March 15 #2 Share Posted March 15 If your booking is eligible, fill out the form at the link below. Bookings done under casino offers or some of the other "sales" will generally not be granted a price reduction approval. https://www.carnival.com/core/requestforms/priceprotection.aspx If for some reason the mods remove the link to the Carnival form, just do a google search for "Carnival price protection". Consider yourself fortunate if they give you credit/refund for the difference in price. Prices dropping is mostly a thing of the past. A lot of us on here miss the days where booking 1+ years out almost guaranteed a price drop before sailing date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n6uqqq Posted March 15 #5 Share Posted March 15 I see early saver all the time, it is the past guest that has been lost to history. I would call for the price reduction. I have filled out the form twice and received zero response back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have used in the past always told me to fill out the form. I have also read on here about how much attention some of y'all get from your PVP. Guess they are all not cut from the same cloth!

I don't have a PVP, I just call the regular 800 number or my big box travel agent if I have moved the booking there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowen9475 Posted March 15 #8 Share Posted March 15 I would also call. I’ve recently seen two small price reductions for our cruise this coming June. I filled out the price protection form after the first one and got denied. I called Guest Services to ask for more information and the person I spoke to was able to change the price. A couple days later, when I saw the second reduction, I called again and they were able to apply the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a shocked as the next guy to see not 1 but 2 reductions. This is for the Mardi Gras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
