excitedcruiser Posted September 28, 2006 #26 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I just contacted my TA at Carnival and the prices with a military discount are better than the one day sale. Anybody now this to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansu Posted September 28, 2006 #27 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I just emailed my PVP asking for the price drop as I dont want the upgrade to the "noiser" deck either....plus we have 3 cabins together and dont know if it would even be possible to get 3 cabins together up there..... I just booked this cruise this week and already thought I got a great deal (still do think that so will not complain). I will post back if I hear anything from her and am using this as a test to see how receptive she is to me. Our PVP doesn't work today, as she is a college student, and works lmited hours. We called CCL reservations directly, and they gave us the credit. ...besides last sale day I left her a voicemail, which she has yet to return...guess she already got her commission!

Well mine is working until 8 tonight so I will see......actually I am wondering if the quote I received already included this deal somehow because it was a really good deal. Hope she gets back to me though because I do wonder whether I will get any "attention" now that she already has a booking from us....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubofhockey Posted September 28, 2006 #31 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I just saved $260 (for my family of 4) on the 4/22 Liberty but did get moved from the Empress to Lido (middle of cabins). I hope that's not a mistake. But it's close to a 10% savings and that's more than a R/T for one on Jet Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so cause we have four of them on lido deck for our cruise on the Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted September 28, 2006 Author #33 Share Posted September 28, 2006 OK well I'm all booked up. Just booked 2 6A's and upgraded to 6B's on the Glory next June. This cruise makes my wife Elite or whatever they call 10 cruises with CCL. Carnivals pre sale price was $2179 per cabin. Carnivals sale price was $1979 per cabin. Price from my TA was $1897 per cabin. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilliesMom Posted September 28, 2006 #34 Share Posted September 28, 2006 OK, well the lady I spoke with at Carnival said they only do it once a month. I get paid tomorrow so this sale is no good for me. I thought Carnival would allow you to reserve/hold a cabin with its pricing for 48 hours. That way you could reserve the cabin at the sale price and pay on pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vellamint Posted September 28, 2006 #35 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Okay....I am happy to say that my PVP got back to me via email already. She said that she had presaled (sp?) me our cruise at the sale prices - no OBC or cheaper price.....which is okay by me because I think I got a great deal.

But my PVP said the cabins are well insulated from that in they are great and the convenience of the location can't be beat. Now I'm really looking forward to it.

Cruiser_Rich Posted September 29, 2006 #37 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We booked and fully paid for our cruise with a Travel Agency is there any way to take advantage of the sale (upgrade) or am I SOL. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrin Posted September 29, 2006 #38 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We booked today with a PVP. We got our discount from the Past Guest Discount that was listed in the Currents Magazine. Our PVP said that the rate was better than the one day sale rate. We did pay for a 8a balcony for five - and were then upgraded to the Lido Deck. We could have been upgraded to the Panorama, but I enjoyed being on the Lido a few years ago. She DID, however, tell me to call back in December - that is when the next Past Guest Promo begins. Maybe we can get a better rate then! Catrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they can say is no and you are no worse off than when you paid your cruise off.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sea_u_onboard Posted September 29, 2006 #41 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Military rate is usually better than anything else going. Every once in a while they will drop the military prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
