trptplayer22 Posted September 27, 2010 #1201 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Most likely I'll pay the deposit by early Jan and payoff the cruise sometime in Feb. Then I can start putting spending money away:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazeecat5 Posted September 27, 2010 Author #1202 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If anyone is out there lurking or just thinking about joining this group cruise, now is the time to do it. Apparently, not only will Carnival no longer be offering the $25 pp deposit after November 1st, they will no longer be recognizing our group prices. So if you book this cruise after that date, you could be paying lots more money.:eek::mad: Don't let that happen to you! Get booked soon!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazeecat5 Posted September 28, 2010 Author #1203 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi all, Hope everyone has heard about Carnival's new group rules. They are not very Cruise Critic friendly. Still hoping that all who booked will stick with us. Come back and chat.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazeecat5 Posted September 29, 2010 Author #1205 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi all, Sorry I haven't been "with it" here lately. My dog has been sick for the last few days and this morning, threw up a lot of blood. Rushed her to the vet and they are sure she has an ulcer. It was aggrevated by the fact that we went away last weekend and left her at the kennel. She gets very stressed there. Needless to say, hubby and I haven't slept much the past few days.... Anyway...... Pirates, we are less than 1 year away from this great cruise. WooHoo! Anyone wanting to join us please click on the links below for prices and booking information. Be aware that the full deposit will be required in order to get a booking number!

saw1953 Posted September 29, 2010 #1206 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Sheryl, I'm so sorry about your dog. I hope she will be ok. Our pets become like our children and I know how stressful it can be when they get sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Looks like the meds the vet gave her are making her very sleepy but they are working. Wonder why she has an ulcer?? Could be because she is a wacky Jack Russell Terrier who is high strung and barks at everything. Wish she would calm down just a little. Still want a bit of the feistiness though.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to pick the cabin # so we know we will be near each other. I have a few friends that were waiting to book till later and I am passing the new requirements on to them. At least they can still book with the $25 deposit till Nov 1. As long as they don't need a booking #. Am I understanding this right, that after Nov 1 if someone wants to book they will get whatever the current price is, with no group discount?

Hi there, I double checked with the TA and, yes you are correct. After Nov. 1st, there will no longer be a group rate available. Anyone who books with the group has to pay Carnival's current rate but will still get the group amenities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who books with the group has to pay Carnival's current rate but will still get the group amenities. I have another call in to Johna. I talked to her on Tuesday and as long as cabins were available we still could book with the group at the discounted price. My brother in law tried to book yesterday and was told no discounts were available. No cabins left. I sure hope he missunderstood. This is what he asked me. "I spoke to Johnna thursday. They don't have any discounts left. I'd have to pay 900 for a inside and 1070 for a balcony. Should I call ---- from ------? I need to tell him he can still get the $25 per person ship board credit by booking with Johna. I am a carinval cheereleader and even I think they have shot themselves in the foot.

Crazeecat5 Posted October 1, 2010 Author #1213 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Sheryl, That is correct. After November 1 the will book in at whatever the current rate is however they will still get the group amenities. Hope you have a great weekend! Johna Here is the email that I received from Johna. Looks like before Nov. 1st, they should still be receiving the group rate. Can't believe all of our gruop rate cabins are gone. If they are, then a lot of people booked and never told me. Doesn't sound right....... I sometimes find that sending Johna an email works faster. Hope your relative gets to join us! I also asked her if this pertains to those of us already booked. Here was her reply: Anyone who has already booked will be rebooked in to their current category and at the rate they agreed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calyn2323 Posted October 1, 2010 #1214 Share Posted October 1, 2010 She called back right away. I am happy to say my brother in law was looking at prices for bal. and ocean view. The balcony cabins are gone and we can still book the inside cabins. He will be calling her back. Thanks. I will keep you posted. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please let me know when your brother in law is booked. So are you saying that all of our group held balcony cabins are booked or did Carnival take them back?

This computer is so touchy Hey Carolyn, These new policies are for all Cruise Critic Carnival group cruises. So, as of Nov. 1st, the $25 deposit will be gone and our special group price will disappear. For those who are already booked, our group price will still be honored. The rest of the deposit will be due by Nov. 1st if you want to keep your booking # and dining time. Otherwise, you can stay with the $25 deposit, lose your booking number but not your reservation. When you pay the rest of the deposit, you will get a new booking number and be able to request your dining time and see your booking on Carnival.com.

We have until then as do many other CC groups. Whatever the case, I don't think this was very good of Carnival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnMDougherty Posted October 4, 2010 #1225 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sheryl is that you? So funny - I was just browsing through member cruises and I saw your name! It's been a pretty rough year for me; my husband Mike passed away in August. He died just a few days before his 55th birthday. The trip we took with you on the Pride last summer was his last cruise. My kids and I are going on a cruise next August that actually leaves on Mike's birthday. We are taking the Fantasy out of Charleston and going back to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, and Nassau. Maybe I could swing another trip sans kids in September; I love the Pride and I've always wanted to go to Bermuda. We'll see if I can get the nerve up to go solo.
