With carnival's price increase. Do you thing that are good now might great better in the future . "show,food,entertainment. I only cruise with carnival but they took some of the little thing away that were nice to see. "pins,party,drinks, ect".

I expect them to not add anything, just keep their eyes on the bottom line as always. I think service could improve, but it might be a sign of the times in general.

 

As far as upping prices, that only works if people pay the higher prices, if the ships dont sell out, they will have more last minute specials.

They are getting greedy and have one goal, that is more profits. They are not going to spend those profits on aminities for the passangers. The press release is nothing but a song and dance to justify the price increases.

The price increase is to make up what they lost last year. It's like the airlines, one company does it they all will. Any way nothing will improve. Just my two cents.

From a Business approach this is to pay for the added security members needed to cover the luggage inspection project going on at this time.

I don't expect anything to change that will be a benefit to us passengers. But I expect I'll enjoy all my upcoming cruises the same as I have before, which is a lot! :)

Good Grief people. PRICES GO UP ABOUT THIS TIME EVERY,EVERY YEAR. If sales are strong, prices will stay up OR go higher. If sales are not strong, prices will fall. Its an all the time thing. Summer months, kids out of school, the ONLY time many can cruise, so ALL cruiselines take advantage of it. I might PASS on a summer cruise even if it was free. I live in Florida and already KNOW what HOT is, don't need an advanced course in TROPICAL HEAT! Also finished doing the "kids thing" many years back. I'll cruise when the kiddies are in school. And its cheaper then too.

As I remember last year wave season, they said it was a all time high booking record in one month.

I have no problem with the way it is now.

 

Like any business, Carnival is always looking at the bottom line. As long as they keep having the best prices, the best food, great ships, friendly staff and crew....I'll keep cruisin'.

 

All the other stuff like pins, free drinks, etc., aren't part of my cruise enjoyment at all.

Heck no!

 

And don't let a "price increase" fool you... there will still be sales and prices will be whatever it takes to fill the ships.

 

If people do not book at the higher prices, they will come right back down. Along with the service level, :D!

people are getting way too worried/upset/whatever over a measly 5% price increase... it'll add, 50, 60 maybe 80 bucks to a fare... its a great marketing ploy to get MORE people to rush to sign up and pay now and increase the number of sold rooms... esp since for any ship leaving before august 23 wouldn't be subject to early savere (which can save a few hundred and require refunds if price goes down). summer is peak season.. if you want to travel during peak season, you are going to pay the price. if you can't afford the extra 50 bucks, and if you're silly enough to actually expect something more from that measly increase, please stay off the ship we'll be on. i dont need anymore whiners. suffered through enough of that on the last cruise.
