boomonster Posted September 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So I am checking fareviewer for our upcoming Dec 6 day Freedom cruise. The 3 day sale popped up and says up to $300.00 off . My queston is the fare that is showing with the $300.00 off or is it an additional $300.00 off that price . Did a fake booking and saw no adjustment so I was wondering if I was missing something. Even though it shows higher rates than we paid with early saver if we got the $300 back we would still get about $100. per cabin. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplevale Posted September 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have seen the same. We are on a 6 day Freedom in October. We actually only booked about a month ago (inside full payment)..... I keep watching the sales to see if I can upgrade our room..... and the price for our room has gone UP on all sales!! Glad I booked when I did!

Canadian_J Posted September 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Did some checking and I don't think this sale is better than the last one two weeks ago. We booked our next cruise on that one and got a 7 category upgrade combining sale and past guest. We could have had on board credit, but the rate was higher and cabin lower. It really can be a game!!

Ken076 Posted September 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Generally that means it's $300 off the current FunSelect fare. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD65 Posted September 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I keep checking and the only thing it really offers me now is to move my cabin around the ship. I am already booked on deck 9 Balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Maybe it depends on which cruise you are doing because we booked an Apr. cruise during the last "sale" and when I just RE priced our cabin during THIS "sale" we save $200. What's weird is that the past guest sale price is higher than the normal sale price even when you add in the upgrades!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomonster Posted September 13, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks everyone for the responses . Yeah no cheaper than what we booked. It just threw me for some reason (maybe lack of coffee yesterday):) . I guess I have to wait till after final payment (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted September 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We find the Carnival sales to be a price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted September 13, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2012 OK soo I guess my arithmetic is not so good. It turns out that this latest "sale" saved us $110 not $200 but I'll still take it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpapa Posted September 13, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Looks like this "Sale" only means "free upgrades" and "reduced deposits" on some cruises which isn't a "Sale" really. The actual "price" hasn't changed on any of the cruises I checked, but the upgrades do take some off. The reduced deposit is just delaying a small part of the payment.
