You don't have to wait, if you use Carnival's PVP, they'll give you the deals today.

 

I booked the Victory for Christmas (although thinking of switching to the Legend before then!) and got a great deal on a extended balcony room. :)

 

Call them now, don't wait, you can pick your room ahead of everyone else!
