Check this out...DH and I each have computer running....we put in the P1S code for a cruise we are looking at and the rate is $549 ....we put in the DP3 code and the same cruise is $469.

 

I'm going with the $469 rate.

I don't know if maybe the savings will kick in on Thursday, but I used the code on three sailings I'm looking at; on all three, the past guest code DP3 was MUCH more savings!

I posted the email last night when I got it. I think this is just another upgrade within the category sale.

[lizardhowson]

The price of our cruise jumped $40 overnight. :mad:

 

None of the codes I tried resulted in lower cost, but did get the upgrades.

 

Glad we booked when we did ! :rolleyes:

 

The price has gone up each time, just before these BIG one day sales.

Joanne - I love your photos with the stuffed animal. That is really cute!;)

this is probably a silly question, but just wondering where you put the code #s in at to see the prices?

Thanks for the info

When you are on the Carnival website and have narrowed down your choice you select the Book now button. This takes you to another page that asks for # guests, home city, sail date, past guest number and there is a box for the promotional code. Here you enter the dp3 or p1s to see what deals are available.

It's the BIGGEST sale they've EVER had....

 

since the last biggest sale they ever had 3 weeks ago. :p

[CruiseGirlGage]

My dates are never included in the Carnival sales. We always vacation over Christmas though.

[ctnurse]

I tried the code for past guests and it works for me even though im not a past guest. No flames but can i use it if it works?

[mountaingurl]

dp3 saves me about $40 over p1s. Prices are still the same though they did go down $140 about 6 weeks ago. Cruise compete can beat it by about $70 but I am staying with carnival for now.

Anyone can put the code in and check the price, but when booking you will have to provide Carnival with your past guest number.

Question:

 

I've booked an IS guarantee through my travel agent for a sailing next month.

 

If the "sale" this week has a good price for an OV guarantee, will I be able to call up my travel agent and pay the difference to upgrade? Or am I "locked in" to my category since it's past the final payment date?

And once again, I didn't get the email.

Thanks for the reply buddyjo143, I'll try it and see if it works.

i haven't seen such great deals. maybe i'm not searching the right time frames. but it seems to me that the prices are not only not that great, but even slightly higher:confused:

Yep, thats what everyone has been posting here. Im thinking prices are just higher than last year's. period. lucky if you book a year ago maybe, but not great if you are booking now.

 

I booked and holding a cabin, at least I will get the cabin I want, if not the price :cool:

I was just about to call my PVP to make my final payment for our cruise in May when I saw this thread and thought "OHH, a chance to save some dough!!!"

 

So I plugged in the P1S code for our cruise and got a rate of $479 for passengers 1&2, and $299 for #3, which was an Oceanview cabin on the Riviera deck, upgraded to Empress deck.

 

I thought there might be SOME savings on that rate, since I recieved a Military discount on my origianal booking, that I booked 3 weeks ago during the "BIGGEST SALE EVER" but in calling the PVP, she informed me that while this sale gives upgrades, I couldn't use my Military discount on it, so I guess I saved some $$ on the last sale.

 

Oh and BTW, I didn't get the email either...props to Dansu for posting the info!

If you read all of the fine print in the e-mail add the offer is very restrictive.

Usually not the dates or cabin grades I would want. But for someone with a more open schedule ( My kid is struggling and needs to stay in school),

it might save them some money... Heck maybe it is just a good excuse for some people to book LOL.
