stiej Posted March 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I left a msg with my PVP but I thought I would ask here to see if you guys could offer any insight. I am not sure which fare we are booked under. I didnt see it listed on my reservation. We are on the fascination 3/30 and the price today dropped significantly over $200 for each of our 2 cabins. Is there any way to tell what fare structure we are under? Will we be able to get any type of OBC with this? Thank you for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 4th page of my CabinConfirmation (email) under GUEST NOTES it comments about Early Saver terms. Check your CabinConfirmation email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiej Posted March 18, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Guess we dont have early saver then :( It just says save $400 on virtually every cabin. I will see what my PVP says when he calls. Maybe we could get an upgrade? I doubt we will be able to get connecting cabins though less than 2 wks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andersoncd Posted March 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am on Fascination April 13, and also noticed the huge price drops. I called Carnival yesterday. I had booked online, and was unfamiliar with all the various options. I just selected one that made sense to me. Anyway, the rep on the phone said I could not take advantage of the price drop, because I had not booked the "early saver". I am a past guest, so I asked why I could not just get the past guest rate they are now offereing which is $70/pp less than I paid. Again, she said there is nothing she can do. If I weren't already inside the cancellation penalty time frame, I would have cancelled, and then re-booked. In any event, I don't care what cost category you initially booked. If you are a past guest, they should lower your fare whenever the ship isn't full, and they are trying to fill up those rooms. Two years ago, the same situation happened on Princess. They readily reduced my fare with no questions. This may be my last cruise with Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjiRodney Posted March 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am booked under past guest, final payment due tomorrow. I already paid it off. I called today because I saw a lower rate, about 100. The rep found me a lower rate $242 so I am very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahBaby!

Since your cruise is in 2 weeks and you just booked February 26th you can't be early saver. Who knows maybe your PVP can pull a rabbit out of their hat. Good Luck :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't give you the price you could have just canceled and got a full refund and rebooked at the lower price.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
