smashedpumpkins Posted November 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The problem is I don't really see it? I have a program that notified me of a $120 drop. (2 tickets so $60 each) When I go to the site it still shows the regular price of $649 for a Cat 12 Penthouse. http://www.carnival.com/Itinerary.aspx?embkCode=LAX&itinCode=LA0&durDays=4&shipCode=PA&subRegionCode=MB&sailDate=1/18/2010&sailingID=54650 Any idea where the drop is? I paid $609 per ticket on the early savings rate. So it should someone one the site show a price of $550ish. Thanks for any help! EDIT: In the program I didn't select any extras like 55+ or Past Guest. We're first time cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmomof2 Posted November 18, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Make sure you're not logged in when you're checking. Sometimes when you're logged in, it will not give you new discounts (at least some people have reported this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandms40 Posted November 18, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2009 mine did that too, if you put in dp3 for fare code then enter, if it doesnt show up, back it up then click the forward arrow, thats when mine showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted November 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You can always call Carnival and ask the price. I got a nice amount back as OBC by doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What'd DP3? I went ahead and tried that and it brought up a lower rate for all rooms, but the cat 12 room. The Cat 12 doesn't show up with DP3 hah. I might try calling them.

wanderlust402 Posted November 19, 2009 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2009 if you put in dp3 for fare code I am also curious, what does DP3 mean? Is this an available to the public discount code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted November 19, 2009 #11 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I am also curious, what does DP3 mean? Is this an available to the public discount code? thats the past guest code. If you do a advanced search on the carnival site, and check the box for being a past guest, and click on a past guest rate ... look over at the code on the right, its dp3.

gargoyle999 Posted November 19, 2009 #12 Share Posted November 19, 2009 What state do you live in? I only see the full rate you paid. But I had a lot of problems seeing a resident rate on the Carnival site for our cruise next week but the fishy kept telling me there was a rate reduction. Had to try several times in a row before I could finally see it on the Carnival site. It is very flaky like that. I don't see a resident rate for MN, but maybe there is one for your state.

smashedpumpkins Posted November 19, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I just checked it on my laptop which has never been to the site and it still shows the rate. One of us is a resident of California and the other is a resident of Idaho. I went ahead and tried to book a "fake" trip again on the laptop with no luck. :\ Not sure... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
