phabric Posted November 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Received an e-mail for Nov 18 One Day Sale with 2 cat upgrade. Do you actually get a better price on an one sale date or is it just to get the free upgrade? Never cruised with Carnival only Princess and RC and looking into an Alaska cruise.

GoinCruisin Posted November 18, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2004 There are SO many restrictions on the sales... read the bottom of the email. Generally, you can get better pricing on other days... The wonderful sales usually aren't so wonderful, LOL.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoinCruisin Posted November 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes, but what did you pay versus someone that booked before the sale???? I booked the Miracle today and paid $110 less than what I WOULD have paid had I used the "sale pricing"... I think too many people book the sale price and don't look around too much to see what they would pay on non sale days from TA's... Also, if Carnival told you to call back when they have another sale, I would write down the info! I have never seen them have a sale where you could apply anything to a previously booked cruise... although there have been some to post here that have been lucky, but their fine print keeps them covered, of course! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmerelda Posted November 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I booked my honeymoon about 3 weeks ago on the Valor for next May and we were upgraded a level yesterday. Just call...it never hurts to ask! Esmerelda :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmeralda - We are also doing a honeymoon cruise in May, did you say you called and got an upgrade for yours eventhough you already booked it? What did they say? Whens the big day? Ours is May 21st :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted November 18, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I was just at the Carnival site and they still have the ads for the 1 day sale up even though it says Thursday, 11/18 only. I didn't check to see if they still had the two category upgrades if you tried to book, but they do at another site I tried (that is the opposite of northeast).

nb1mom Posted November 18, 2004 #11 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I booked our 10/31 cruise on the Pride during a one day sale. I kept checking and the price was the same for at least 2 months after I booked it. Then, the price went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamhugh Posted November 20, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Our agent put a courtesy hold on two cabins for us on Monday. On Wednesday Carnival allowed her to access the sale, even though we had never cruised Carnival before. Our price did not change, but we received a 2 category (within a category, LOL) upgrade. We went from a 4A on deck 1 to a 4C on Deck 6. Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
