apech782 Posted January 17, 2012 #26 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Supply and demand will continue to drive the pricing . Most people know that this was a tragic mistake and is unlikely to occur again. People are contiuing to plan and book their next cruise on a daily basis. This is how I feel, and I am the most paranoid person in the world! I'm still more afraid of flying to the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor_Sally Posted January 18, 2012 #27 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It may be interesting to see how they price the new European cruises when they make the big announcement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaach Posted January 18, 2012 #28 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I don't fully understand the cruise pricing. I have booked early saver before and done very well. This year I booked a casino fare and got an awesome aft cabin on the Glory to NE/Canada in Sept.2012 at a decent price. I also received $100 casino credit. Do I have any recourse if the price of my cuise goes down before final payment? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnvattes Posted January 18, 2012 #29 Share Posted January 18, 2012 As of this morning, Carnival fares appear unaffected by the disaster in their sister brand. Costa however, has some amazing prices on their fares :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrchkr Posted January 18, 2012 #30 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Our cruise has gone up $900 since we booked.. I can't see it going down...anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeman135 Posted January 18, 2012 #31 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was hoping for some sort of on-board credit to keep bookings myself. We have a deposit down on a May cruise with full payment due end of Feb, but still have the ability to cancel and get $ back I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegadog2 Posted January 18, 2012 #32 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am in agreement that Carnival's "sales" are anything but. Every time I have seen a sale, the price was higher than both past guest and ES rates. Also, don't be quick to assume and Carnival 'sales' that are announced in the coming weeks have anything to do with the Costa incident because it is wave season after all. I have seen the prices go UP when they call it a sale.We cruise @ HALLOWEEN and have always had great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluelyss18 Posted January 18, 2012 #33 Share Posted January 18, 2012 When is the 'early saver' period? We are looking at May 20, 2012...did I miss the early period?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted January 19, 2012 #34 Share Posted January 19, 2012 When is the 'early saver' period? We are looking at May 20, 2012...did I miss the early period?? The Early Saver period is based upon the length of your cruise. 3-5 day cruise is three months in advance, a 6 day or longer cruise is five months in advance. I definitely recommend it if you are fairly certain you are sailing (as there are restrictions on refunds if you have to cancel) - but the nice part is that if the price drops on your cruise after you book - you fill out the form on the website and once they confirm the price drop they give you an OBC. It's a nice way to ensure that you get the absolute best deal. Try to check the rates daily.. I have seen them change drastically from morning to evening.

I do not think they will find it necessary to do this to keep bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
