iamsteph Posted December 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Wow! I checked the prices for my cruise in May this morning and prices for balcony cabins went up $400!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBanana1240 Posted December 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Because of new fuel regulations and the Pride leaving, it all contributes to the price going up. More people want to squeeze on it because they want to say goodbye. Just stay and wait for it to go down, then they pay your back the money! Poor people who are gonna book it now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted December 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I saw this today also. Holy cow. They are asking almost double for what we paid for our balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted December 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think it's going to be temporary until they have another big "sale". Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted December 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Both of the trips I have booked have inched up $30, $40 steadily for weeks. This morning, one jumped $250 across all categories, the other $280 per category. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niquein99 Posted December 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I noticed the price of my Breeze cruise went up, and Early Saver is now gone. Glad I booked the other day when Early Saver rates were still available! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibble Posted December 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I saw that too. Where did the Early Saver fares go? For my cruise, the other fares are only slightly more than two days ago, but the Early Saver was so much less but is now gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin_Sea Posted December 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Mine went up $50pp so far.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted December 6, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Early Saver disappeared for my cruise as well, I think because I am now within the 5 months period when it is suppose to disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Christie~ Posted December 6, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just when we finally decided to go in May the price jacked up before our TA could book it b/c she is on a cruise right now....grrrr. Unless it goes back down a little after the new year looks like we may end up sailing in April instead..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted December 6, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My cruise went up almost $100 each for a total of almost $300 over yesterdays price and the Early Saver rate that was showing yesterday is now gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky791 Posted December 6, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just got off the phone with Carnival. No worries. Big sale in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted December 6, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm speculating but maybe after the dining announcement so many people booked that it made the prices go up. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niquein99 Posted December 6, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just got off the phone with Carnival. No worries. Big sale in Jan. I figured another sale was coming. Carnival tends to do this right before a 'sale'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted December 6, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 6, 2013 All companies do these things. It certainly isn't unique to Carnival. But, now people who book under current rates can come along later and brag about all the ES price drops they've gotten!!! :rolleyes: It's marketing. It's supply and demand. It's a fact of life. I don't know why anyone is surprised by price fluctuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lace Posted December 7, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 7, 2013 On Carnival, increased prices means they are about to have a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted December 7, 2013 #25 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It also means Early Saver will disappear for a while. and usually prices go up enough that when they have the sale, it equals out to what you would have paid before the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
