Leo's Rule Posted March 16, 2013 #26 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Booking Early Saver for the Magic out of Galveston (very popular ship, abundance of loyal cruisers) doesn't yield many price drops. A few small ones, but not many. I always console myself by saying I didn't overypay when I booked. :D But I keep price watching just in case! ;) Yeah, I've yet to sail on the Magic because she's so dog on expensive TO ME. I've found as of late, that I need to get used to the idea of booking solo...and the solo price for Magic exceeds what I'd pay for a week at some of my favorite AIs. But, my co-worker and her cousin are sailing on the Magic in September and they've had a $90 drop on their sailing. Just keep checking, but check on Monday if you're a PG or Tuesday - Friday for their upcoming sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo's Rule Posted March 16, 2013 #27 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Lucky everyone that received a price drop. Unfortunately it is not the case on every cruise. Our cruise in June has gone up 1500.00 for one room and our Hawaii cruise is up over 700.00 right now. Darn. Oh well I booked at the price I was comfortable with so I am still happy. Carnival increased prices yesterday. I noticed the price increase around 1:30 or 2:00 CST. And that's due to an upcoming sale they are going to have next week. Check again during the "Sale" to see if you get an adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachseasand Posted March 16, 2013 #28 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Just curious, what information that you put in was wrong, and do they tell you what you did wrong when you submitted or did you just figure it out. Thanks! Me too I hope I filled out the form right. But if I dont hear in the 5 business days can I not put in another request quoting that sale price again? Since there is a claim form submitted it would just need correction. I am being a worry wart I know, Waiting is the Hardest Part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo's Rule Posted March 16, 2013 #29 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I thought I was bookied using early saver, but it is actually easy saver. My own fault for not paying attention, so no OBC for me even though price has dropped.:rolleyes: Aww; that sucks. It makes me wonder if Carnival named them so close to one another for people to make that mistake? :confused: But at least you realized you made the mistake. As my mama always says, "Bought sense is better than told sense.". Next cruise you'll get it right. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being a worry wart I know, Waiting is the Hardest Part. If you have a screenshot of it; you can. If you're denied, ask if you can send in the screenshot that showed the fare you saw. And I've heard the reps can go back in the system to see what the prices were. Now, I don't know how true that part is, but you never know. Don't give up.

heatherbelle Posted March 16, 2013 #31 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My TA did not book Early Saver even though I specifically asked her to. So we don't get to enjoy the price drops. Needless to say, I'm pi**ed. Snap, me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayesktrm Posted March 16, 2013 Author #32 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks for the heads' up for the sale on Monday! Maybe we'll get more drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMot Posted March 16, 2013 #33 Share Posted March 16, 2013 With the popularity and limited number of cabins, I am thinking that price drops are a rare occurrence. Anyone booked in an aft ever get a price drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might double check to see we filled form completely right and submit again. Also there is a Monday sale Family and Friends past guest sale coming I saw on another thread so will check that day too. thanks for the advice hope everyone gets the price drop.

marcimm Posted March 16, 2013 #35 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I booked an aft wrap on Freedom August 2013 back in October and it dropped $80 back in November. Last year on Liberty aft wrap, I had a $300 drop so it does happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onegroundcafe Posted March 16, 2013 #36 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ours dropped, first time we have ever done a price drop form! Yay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickori Posted March 16, 2013 #37 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have now submitted three price reduction forms for my cruise in June and have yet to get any type of response from Carnival that they have been approved or not. My daughter submitted one and it was denied for a bogus reason. I have been trying to get in contact with someone to discuss but have sat on hold for hours with customer care to no avail. I am sure with the recent issues with two ships the lines are busy, but sure am frustrated. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayesktrm Posted March 18, 2013 Author #40 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just saved another $80 ($40 per stateroom)--Friends and Family Preview--Past Guest!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted March 18, 2013 #41 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I just turned in a price drop on the 11th and due to the Dream decided to see if it had gone down any more. Yep, $100! So, for our two cabins, we have a total savings of $850!!! That's more than getting one of us free. Sure, our stock has taken a beating (still up $495), but this more than makes up for it. Also, we are getting our OBC so it works out. WOW this is great! Congratulations for scoring a big one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benvan2 Posted March 18, 2013 #42 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just saved another $80 ($40 per stateroom)--Friends and Family Preview--Past Guest!! We saved a total of$280.00 on 4 cabins. Not bad. I really didn't think the summer cruises would go down at all, pleasantly surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingAPor Posted March 18, 2013 #43 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Disappointed...No price drop for my cruise, as a matter of fact the price went up slightly. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaach Posted March 18, 2013 #44 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It wouldn't hurt to check...I have an aft booked for July, and the price just went down by $100. This is the first time I have ever had a price decrease on an aft balcony! Past final payment, am past guest, booked in ext aft and no more available on mock Breeze booking. Love the aft and only available upgrade is spa cabin. No suites or aft wraps available. Can I get OBC? When pigs fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Sorry, just saw your question. When we got the denial I called to ask why, and I was told I putin the wrong category price...I thought I was 4A when I was 4C.
