MrCo9 Posted May 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Take a screen shot of the lower fare and save it as a file on your computer. Go to THIS page. • What should I do once I find a lower rate? Complete a price protection claim form. If the request meets the price protection requirements, we will process your onboard credit for the fare difference and send you an email confirmation within 2 business days of your request. • What information must be submitted for a price protection request? Guest(s) name Sailing information Available cruise fare being requested Where the lower advertised fare was found (i.e.: Carnival.com) • When can I submit a price protection request? Carnival will accept price protection requests up to 2 business days prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuchio24 Posted May 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Go to carnival dot com, go to specials. Click on Early Saver, click on the link to 'claim form'. Make out the form and send it in (good diea to attach screen shot of where you saw the lower rate). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinhotmamma Posted May 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2010 There's a couple of different ways to get it. If you booked directly with Carnival then I would call them and they can let you know if there is a form to fill out or sometimes they will do it right over the phone. If you booked with a TA then I would call them. Happy cruising! Congrats on the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecj922 Posted May 17, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks everyone! My cruise isn't until 3/12/2011 but just found the fare for $40 less than I paid. So that works out to $80 for us (So far!) I will keep my fingers crossed for more price drops. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They SHOULD send you a email confirming they got the claim form. Then it usually takes 3 business days to see if it gets approved. I have waited a week before, I have also had them confirmed within 3 hours, depends on how busy they are I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvj811 Posted May 18, 2010 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If booked under the early saver rate, can I get the price drop if a past guest rate is lower or is only if the regular rate drops (I do qualify for past guest). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbmga Posted May 18, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If booked under the early saver rate, can I get the price drop if a past guest rate is lower or is only if the regular rate drops (I do qualify for past guest). Thanks! If you are a past guest then yes, you can price match the past guest rate while still staying booked ast early saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken076 Posted May 18, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If you are a past guest then yes, you can price match the past guest rate while still staying booked ast early saver. Also, while monitoring the Past guest Rate, also Monitor the Resident Rate for your State. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBC is only for those who have paid in full. I'm assuming with a 2011 cruise you still have to make final payment. In that case it will show as a rate reduction, or less that you have to pay come final payment. If you did happen to already pay in full, it should show up the same place you check your balance on carnival.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
