BarleyJack Posted August 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Its late so forgive me. We are booked on the Glory in November..see the ticker lol. Anyway, I was looking over our reservations and the price listed looked odd.....so of course I went to the "Find a Cruise" search on Carnival and.... not only is our currently booked 4A Riviera deck 1 listed at less than we paid, but there is also an option for a 4G (interior w/ window on Lido deck 9) for less! Now, here's the thing. The original ressie was made via phone, assumedly under the past guest rate. We had a FCC which has been applied. The (cheaper, better room) 4G is a special Resident Rate. Will I have any issues switching this around from Past Guest to Resident, from 4A riviera to Lido, and keeping my FCC benefit? I plan on calling Carnival tomorrow (again its late), but wondered if anyone had any idea as to why these prices/options didn't pop up before when we booked, which was just this past week. Thoughts/advice greatly appreciated!~ BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you should not lose the FCC benefigt Thoughts/advice greatly appreciated!~ BJ You are before final payment date so you should be able to get the cheaper price or upgrade with no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted August 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2011 As long as you are eligible for the resident rate and you are before final payment, you shouldn't have a problem getting the lower price and upgrade. Definately give them a call before the rate disappears. Take a screen shot if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts/advice greatly appreciated!~ BJ Just a heads up regarding price changes, upgrading etc if you see something you are interested in call Carnival when you see it. Sometimes these things are fleeting and you may not find the same deal the next day. Anyone at Carnival can check this for you and advise you as to whether or not you are eligible :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqvol Posted August 13, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just a note Carnival is open 24/7. Unless it is too late for you never hesitate to call. In fact, they are usually not a busy late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted August 13, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thats why the screen shot comes in handy. Just in case they "cant find it" :D ...and often they can't. What they see is current information, not history. That's why a screen shot can be very valuable... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
