Just scored $150 OBC!!!

[KPfromCT]

How did you find out about the drop?

 

Is this applicable to ALL cruises or just your sailing?

 

I don't see a big poster on Carnival.com talking about a "Go Sail Rate" - was this on a particular website?

 

I check a particular travel website regularly (because I like how easy the site is....better than Carnival.com) and I can see cabins etc - and their prices have always been the same as Carnival......Today they are the same as carnival so does that mean there is no "Go Sail" promotion on my cruise?

 

thanks

I went ahead and changed it for the $50 OBC and you're right, everything else stayed the same. Thank you for the heads up! :)

I posted the fare rules, and nowhere on there does it say you have to be booked in a balcony to get the full $150 OBC.

You may want to call back and question that........:confused:

How long is your cruise? 3 nights? 7 nights?

Do you think it's valid on all cruises thru August 31?

[mguimond1990]

I've never cruised carnival before (or anyone else for that matter haha) so maybe someone could help. We are book on the 5 night liberty in September. Is this new promo something we can take advantage of? We booked an ocean view early saver about 2 weeks ago. I'd love an onboard credit haha!

Unfortunately, this one is only valid on cruises through 8/31, but keep your eyes peeled. Carnival starts a new sale everyday:rolleyes::rolleyes:

:)

[Leo's Rule]

So, were you able to take advantage of any OBC, or a fare drop?

 

Nope. :(

 

The Spring Into Summer sale only applies to Guarantee rooms for sailings through August 31, 2014 and offers up to $100 OBC, but my sailing must not meet it, because it's not an option for me. The 4 Day Go Sale isn't applicable to my particular sailing although the sail date meets the criteria. The fine print states it's only on select sailings and doesn't state which ones!

 

My October sailing doesn't qualify for either, for obvious reasons. :D

 

My August sailing actually increased; Lido is no longer included in the free upgrade; there's a per person, per day charge now. That sucks! But even if it weren't there; the price hasn't dropped and doesn't offer OBC.

[KPfromCT]

It sounds like it to me. Also, if there are multiple people in your cabin, and this particular rate doesn't show up under your VIFP number, try your spouse, or kids, if applicable.

It's weird like that........

Good luck!!!:D:D

[KPfromCT]

Nope. :(

Hmmmmmmmm.....we are in a Lido Balcony, as well.

And even though the bottom line didn't change, we were still able to get the $150 OBC. Did you call?

Yes it does, it's in the fine print. It's so tiny; you have to blow it up. :D

I'm booked with a group, so Carnival wouldn't help me; I'd have to call the TA and lately she's been slow with answering emails and her phone goes to her VM.

 

She's not my TA, I booked the cruise with a friend and will not use this particular TA in the future. She's sweet, but she's dropped the ball on another request I had back in December.

 

I'm not in a balcony cabin...and we're not on the same cruise. :p This is my Triumph sailing.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Yes. It clearly states it is not applicable for group bookings. Sorry!:(

[Saltz]

I'm on a 7 day and I did a mock booking before I called the 1-800 number and she then verified, it is $50 OBC for inside and ocean view. But for balcony, that's $150. She asked if I wanted to change but that'd be $420 more, I declined. Lol It's okay though because from the time I've booked (January) I've had one fare decrease of $100 applied to my account so I'm not sweating it.

No go for either of my cruises .... Freedom (June 1) qualifies, but balconies are sold out ... Fantasy (August 3) is not a selected sailing :(

I just like to put the word out there.

If Carnival is GIVING money away, I want everyone to have their chance to GRAB it.:D

Hey. The way I look at it? $50 bucks is $50 bucks.

That's quite a few DOD's. Or some pictures. Or a shore excursion.......

The list goes on.......

Every little bit helps!!:D

[mcarney]

Thank you for sharing ... My PVP just said to keep watching my emails and to call her anytime with any questions ... She knew who I was the minute I called ... Hoping for some sort of "give-away" :)

how does one go about getting a price drop difference on an already paid for cruise... ?? we sail in 67 days and it seems our trip has dropped in price a few 100 total for our room..

 

We are paid in full and had a price drop on our sailing. I called and they said they couldn't do a discount since we've already paid, but they did give us an upgrade... I'm good with either. Probably like the upgrade more. ;)

Exactly! I really appreciate you posting something or it might have passed me by because I only pay attention to the fare prices but now I'll keep my eye on incentives as well.

:D:D Glad to be of help. That's what this board is for, right? Good luck in getting more incentives/price drops.

Happy sailing!!!

They wouldn't know I was with a group doing a mock booking...it's just not available for my particular sailing, unfortunately.

Got the OBC for $50 for August cruise as did my family. A few free drinks. I never go to the web page - just the fare viewer. Love CC.

[LzyCruiser_NWA]

Congrats on those that got it.

I did a mock booking and a search thru fare viewer, no dice for our august cruise on the triumph ;/
