Which was nice and gave me a pile of OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truchattycathy Posted March 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2011 My rate is back down to what I booked for. We always book an inside in the bottom of the ship and wait for price drops or free upgrades to upgrade to the Lido. For ES I would have to pay $70 pp to upgrade right now. If I book PG for $30 more pp, I get a free upgrade to the Lido, but then I would lose my ES rate. Soooooo can I upgrade to the Lido with my ES and turn around and submit a credit for the $40 difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseboy06 Posted March 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have received my first price drop last week.. i got $110 off of my final payment... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomm1972 Posted March 15, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Where is the price drop? I booked friday, its the same price as it was yesterday, and today. Looks like there is only 2 cabins left in my category so maybe that is why it is. We sail on the Legend 7/17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tms71269 Posted March 15, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 15, 2011 What a crock :rolleyes: Put fares up and then "discount them" with their "sale" I dont know how they get away with it tbh. :mad: :mad: :mad: I don't understand the problem...I booked about a month ago & have watched the prices drop or "have a sale". I found a cheaper rate 2 times and I own them less. Is it after the full payment date??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJK Posted March 15, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have never received a OBC. I paid 904 pp, its never went under 909 pp, right now with their sale and upgrades its 909 pp and no upgrade, cabin is in the same area as mine. I am hoping for just a small price drop at least enough for a DOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabee Posted March 15, 2011 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Oct. 3, 2011 Elation 72 hour sale is 419 per person with upgrades to Upper or Past Guest is $369 with upgrades to Upper... Wow...which rate do I choose??? I have benefited in the past from the sales, but this one certainly does nothing for me...normally I have already booked, and then get the upgrade, but nothing here. Carnivals stock dipped another dollar today, so I guess they need to try and get some sales in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb76 Posted March 15, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I am looking at a Oct sailing on Freedom... I see the sale today and figured this might be the reason to book. We where looking at a IS low deck. We always book budget rooms. With the sale I can end up w/ a room on the Lido deck for only $100 more. I don't get the whole ES thing...even though I read and read about it. I just don't see this as a vaule for me. Maybe those who can only sail if they are on a certain deck might catch a break.

Raven Days Posted March 15, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I booked an ES rate and that rate is still lower then the 72 hour sale rate..so I guess I am staying as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdpavlik Posted March 15, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I had a fare drop and was told they not longer give OBC but I did get an upgraded cabin. Was your OBC from Carnival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyscanr Posted March 15, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well not much of a sale for our sailing. Matter of fact our room is up $500 and the kids room $240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhunt2 Posted March 15, 2011 #19 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Dos anyone know if you are booked with a CC group cruise and the price is lower, can you get OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enveno1 Posted March 15, 2011 #20 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I originally booked my cruise under PG. That price later went up $130 pp. Glad I booked when I did. I eventually switched to ES and the new 72 hour "sale" is $290 pp higher than what I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMMark Posted March 15, 2011 #21 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I check rates every day and this 72-hour sale was good to me. Previously there had not been any PG rates shown for my fall break cruise, but the PG rate that came up with this sale saved us $290 on two cabins (Empress - balcony and interior). I'll take it!!

girlscruise2011 Posted March 15, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I booked at 8D Lido Balcony for 3 people for $1099 total (ES) and today with the 72 hr Past Guest Sale it went down to $1079. I filled out the form at 5am this morning and by 3pm, I got the email that I was approved for the new price. Before final payment so it comes off the amount due. I know its only $20 but its in the right direction and hopefully the first of many to come. I cruise the Destiny in October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxh165 Posted March 15, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi honeymooners, we are on this cruise as well and hoping for at least one price drop. The 72 hour sale didn`t drop the price for us either. I have been checking regular and there is a lot of balconies still left on this ship.....something like 74 and around 200 inside, ocean view and suites. So I am hoping if they want to sail full they are going to have to start putting sales on soon, it is only 53 sleeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilapples Posted March 16, 2011 #24 Share Posted March 16, 2011 72 hour sale saved me an additional $120 on my July cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrab Posted March 16, 2011 #25 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I booked early saver back in September 2010 and see the price has dropped $60 pp for me. Filled out my form this evening and hope I get the on-board credit! :confused: Just a little over 2 weeks to go... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
