Early Saver & Interline Rates

[neoncandle]

So if the price drops and you interlined it and the price out there is lower than you paid, can you get a refund or an upgrade?

I am a travel agent with an IATAN card, is the Interline rate the discount I would receive on a Carnival cruise? I called today and got 2 prices on the same call for the same cabin and there was a $500 difference. The first price I got the woman said this is the price but I can't book you and transferred me to someone else and they gave me the interline price which was $500 higher.

 

This is new to me, so I appreciate your help.

I have booked most through Interline pricing.

 

When searching sometimes it's great but other times it's only $20 cheaper (and if you don't use Interline you got a $50 OBC so virtually the same.

 

Different cruiselines do it differently. Princess have a few Interline cabins early one then when they are gone that's it. Others have Interline rates for cabins left over as a sail date draws near. I've seen balconies for the same price as oceanviews (obviously they had lots of balconies left).

 

Sometimes the oceanviews are obstructed (you need to ask).

 

Unfortunately our $ has died this year so cruises aren't as cheap as they were.

$AUD is only 65c to the $US.:(

We booked Interline (and DH works for a Courier/Cargo company - all IDs sent to Carnival in April and no problems) on Pride.

 

Originally booked a 4K for $450pp for a 7 night bahamas for 12/6/15 - after multiple price drops we are now in an 8K extended balcony for exactly the same price :D. Same cabin is almost $400 more right now, so I'm happy:p

If you call CCL directly the agents usually do not have access to interline rates. To get accurate uptodate info ALWAYS go on GOCCL.com and enter your info for a new booking and click the interline rate as one of the options. I always check Interline, Senior and past passenger and put in my pp number. This way you will be able to see all of the rates available and compare which is the best. If you choose the interline rate you will need to either fax or e-mail to CCL on your agency letterhead your name, position, who your BDM is and a picture I.D. which I use my driver's license.

You can refare only before final payment date.

 

So if the price drops and you interlined it and the price out there is lower than you paid, can you get a refund or an upgrade?

And, if you're not a travel agent, you can't see them on GoCCL, but you can on ************* . com. They will show which employees get discounts on which lines, and then you can price them. Have always been the same as what I get when I book w/ my PVP.

THANKS Firefly :). I am eligible for interline but was thinking about doing exactly as the above poster stated-- book ES and then have it matched to Interline, but wasn't sure if they would change the rate or just match it. I would be one of those people checking it daily (or more) :D watching for price drops!

firefly is correct. My PVP does this for me in one phone call--booking early saver and then immediately rebooking it to match whatever lower fare I'm eligible for. I've done that several times in the past without problems. After rebooking, you are still held to the more restrictive early saver rules, so be sure you can live with them.
