Stupid pricing question

[mystone99]

My DW and I have booked an 8C balcony for the Legend sailing in 11/29/09. I noticed on the Carnival website this morning that an 8N is going for $50 less than we paid. I filled out one of those 110% price guarantee forms and sent it in to Carnival. My question is will they give me a refund in OBC, or because we've already paid for our balcony will we get zip.

Any information would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Did you book in the last two days?

No, earlier this year.

That claim will be rejected. The 110% guarantee is if you find a cruise for less within 48 hours. If you booked early saver you can get rate reductions or obc up until two days before sailing. Or you can try for a cabin change. Not sure how that might work because the new rate is less.

I was afraid of that

 

Thanks Steve

If you booked early saver, this is the link to the on-line form you should complete. I know it's confusing. Good luck!

I went ahead and called Carnival. No OBC, but they did upgrade us to an 8N, so now we have an aft-extended balcony.:)

That sounds like a better deal than $50 back. Enjoy your cruise.
