needabreakcanada Posted July 26, 2012 #30 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I just went in on sale. Had a quick peek. When I went into the sight a second time - it wasn't there - not even on home page. This happening to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinJenF Posted July 26, 2012 #32 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like the "sale" has started. Not seeing anything of interest. The sale that offers OBC of $100 the rate went up $100....sooooo that's not really a sale lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianypr Posted July 26, 2012 #33 Share Posted July 26, 2012 They are advertising 50% reduced deposits, haven't looked to see if the rates went up though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPGirl Posted July 26, 2012 #34 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It is a 72 hour sale but the little ticker says 73 hrs left ? Strange ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted July 26, 2012 #35 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I looked at rates for the cruises that I have been monitoring, and the rates are the same as they have been. So the OBC would be a bonus. Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar67 Posted July 26, 2012 #37 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The cruise that we have booked for March 2013 went up $300 to receive a $100 OBC. The one for September didn't change at all. Some sale :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted July 26, 2012 #40 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I just checked "sale" prices for our Dec. cruise - which I do daily, anyway. Price went up $300 per cabin!:eek: This is on top of the $500 per cabin it has gone up since we booked!:eek::eek: As usual, this sale is just for the uninformed!

MicksMom Posted July 26, 2012 #42 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Did dummy bookings on 5 different cruises out of Galveston. When I get to the last page (choose cabin #) I get an error saying the cat has sold out. Happened on every every deck on each cruise. Guess I will check back later.

Sometimes when we do dummy bookings, the system removes those rooms for a while. Check back and they may show available again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsTee Posted July 26, 2012 #44 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This is hardly a sale. I did 'dummy' bookings on two cruises I'm booked on and the prices were the same. I didn't even see the reduced deposit in the dummy booking.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfoot99 Posted July 26, 2012 #45 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Do the rates generally go back to previous levels after the sales are over or not? Wondering if I am better off just booking during the sale to pay 50% deposit or wait till later and hope price comes back. Or other option just paying early saver (even though it is only $50 less than past cruiser) and then not worry about prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike! It was working a few hours later. Submitted $30pp drop on our Dec cruise! 5th drop in the last 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampabrat22 Posted July 26, 2012 #47 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I know sales with carnival aren't much of a "sale" but YAY, YAY, YAY for the 50% deposits!! We could book more cruises if the deposits weren't so high ($1200 for 4 of us on the 8 days)! Yeah, I could save up the $ then book, but something always seems to come up. I hope they do this more often and then maybe our goal of doing 3 cruises per year can happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumofsons Posted July 26, 2012 #48 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I took advantage of the 50% off deposit - it was an easier sale to DH as we just got back from Alaska and after that expense my vacation account was pretty much drained. :) But what a great way to do it! It was easier to just put down $125 each than the regular $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted July 26, 2012 #49 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If I booked my Nov cruise now, all the cabins we want would be sold out! Glad we booked back in May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megmno Posted July 26, 2012 #50 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I thought this was pretty funny: It's especially funny since the date of the cruise is 8/19/2012. You would have to pay the full fare immediately anyway, so it really doesn't matter that they are offering reduced deposits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
