What was last years 12 days of christmas sale-I can't remember!

[mstravel]

Can anyone remember any of the 12 days of christmas sales? Do they raise prices then offer daily specials?

[letsgocruz1]

I remember one of the sales offered $100 off pp, and they did NOT raise the prices. I remember this because it applied to the Fantasy cruise that I had booked, but my TA could not get me the discount because it was for new bookings only. I was disappointed, but I survived. I also remember there being a link that showed exactly what was going to be offered each day. I have a cruised booked now, so Carnival hasn't been sending me any sales info...bummer, cause if the price were right, I might would go on and book another.

I got the email, it had a link to click on to register... don't see why it wouldn't work for anyone with the link...

I have a cruise booked now also, but they are still sending me sale info all the time!

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the link. I usually don't like getting all these kinds of emails *and my PVP knows this* but for this I am making an exception.

Is it just for new bookings??

I'm up early today and just checked my email from Carnival that shows the 1st day's offer (good only until midnight today, Sunday). It looks good (it is for onboard credit of up to $200 per stateroom depending on length of cruise) but it has restrictions that make it of no use to me at this particular time (can't sail between Jan and end of May this upcoming year). I'm hoping that all of the "12 days of Christmas" deals aren't only for sailings within that time frame. (and yes, it appears to be only for new bookings, but I'd still call and see what they'd do for me if I had a booking with Carnival already that met all of the rest of the criteria of this deal).

The prices you see are cruise fare only. You still have to figure in the port taxes and government fees.

 

So far I dont see my Liberty cruise available. If the price was right I would cancel and rebook.

The prices they are listing include the port charges, but not the gov't taxes. Carnival doesn't advertise prices without port charges.

I'm looking at booking a cruise for June, but of course that doesn't work with this sale, either. By the way, on the bottom of the page, it lists the promo code as CO3 for 7 day or longer cruises. If you click one of their links, however, it fills in the promo code as OC3. Nice mistake, eh?

I am looking at booking a Carnival cruise for next year. Do the deals on the 12 days of Christmas usually get better as the days go on, or is a $200 obo about as good as it gets? TIA.

opps- i do see that it does not include govermenet taxes only.

 

Read the fine print on the page-- its only good for cruises up til May, 2007 (no wonder it doesnt cover my cruise in August.

and it excludes lots of cabins.. so on has to book a regular inside, oceanview or balcony cabin.. no suites.
