Early Saver Questions

[RumpunchGirl]

I printed out the policy from Carnival's web sight. I have read it several times. Seems pretty clear. Here is the part I am wondering about "The lower fare must be: i) for the same ship, sailing, statroom category and number of guests; ii) available for booking at the time you submit your request for lower rate. " So, if I have ES and book a Vista Suite, does this mean a Vista Suite would have to be available at the time of price drop? There are so few of them on the ship I am looking at. If all Vistas are booked, I wouldn't get the lower rate? Maybe I am misunderstanding this. HELP!!

If a higher cat. is a lower price you can send in an ES form on it. I was booked in a Jr Suite and an OS was cheaper. I sent in the form and received the difference of my Jr Suite and the OS price

Yes, if they are sold out, you cant get a price for them. The prices will only show for categories that they are selling.

 

If a higher category suite drops in price though, you can upgrade to it and get any price difference.

Also once your cat room is completely booked, you won't see it online for price matching. I have a spa cabin booked on Dream and there are only 2 left, so once they sell out, I have nothing left to price match against.

Thanks for the info! I love the CC boards!

Here's my question - I booked a 4D as an ES and have already made my final payment for my April cruise. I saw on the Carnival website yesterday that now as a past guest, cat 4B is being offered a free upgrade to 4D - at $10 pp cheaper than what I booked my cabin for.

 

I already sent in my claim form, but I'm wondering if it would be approved or not. I tried calling my PVP, but she was very confusing and I don't think I was successful in getting my question across to her.

From what you say, if the price is $10 pp cheaper, sounds like a price drop to me.

When I tried this they said I had to compare my room to a 4D, not the 4B and the price was for a 4B, even with the upgrade. I was denied; however, you might get it. Let us know.

You should have gotten the upgrade/OBC, as bottomline you could have booked a 4D for that 4B fare. Out of curiosity, who told you this, the ES Price Adjustment Group or your PVP or 800-agent? ken
