Maybe Fall Sales Tomorrow?

[cruising_diva]

So according to the Carnival website, Upgrade Your Summer promotion ends tomorrow. What are the odds that a fall sale will be next? We're booked ES for Dream on October. Looking for some price drops! They've already extended the summer promotions at LEAST once...maybe more. Are the summer cruises really being so difficult to sell?

Anyone have any guesses or inside information?

I hope so. We sail on the Dream in November and would love to have some OBC.

From your lips to Carnival's ears... my price hasn't moved AT ALL, up or down, since 1/11.

[cruising_diva]

Yep. We've been booked since I think late January or early February, and ours hasn't budged either. I'm hoping it's just going to take a fall promotion to push the prices down. Supposedly fall is slower seasons than summer. And I know - if the price doesn't drop, at least I got the best rate possible. :)

Sailing 9/13 on the Liberty. The price has only gone up. About time for a few price drops for some OBC.

I hope so I've been checking everyday! Im booked on the sunshine for November celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and our FIRST cruise!

We're on the Valor in November in a O/S, just wondering if Ocean suites usually drop in price?

I have absolutely no idea, but I would assume that it would depend on how well that room category was selling. To give yourself an idea, do a mock booking, and see how many Ocean Suites are left. If there are still quite a few (keeping in mind that Carnival will never show more than 10 at a time), you have better odds of getting a drop.

There's 10 in mid ship where our room is in an 10 forward on deck 7

Then I would say your odds are good! Keep an eye on things!

Carnival always "extends" their sales:D

Hoping for a few more price drops before final payment, on 6/5.

You guys can hold tight for another week, right?:o:o

All they're running right now is 50%off deposit, which isn't a sale per se, but certainly makes it easier to book.

[cruisinJenF]

Yep, as predicted- they extended it :(

 

Extended until May 26th. I hope there will be a new sale after that and I can score some OBC!

Have you checked the rates for Fall? I have never seen them this low this early.

 

I am going to book in the next few weeks, Go look at all of them.

 

and the Dream is such a class act ship. I am still sad that Port Canaveral lost her. We never had a bad cruise on her. Enjoy.

 

And if you can visit the Steakhouse. The steak filet they serve is the best ever. And the Apple caramel tart they serve is the best way I have ever eaten apples in my entire life. And I like apples. have a bowlful on my breakfast counter right now.

 

Happy sails.

Lots more competition. NCL has a ship in the Caribbean this year. Princess also has one. Usually they do not. Plane fares to Europe................they are so high that the cost of the flight puts it out of reach for most people.

 

Plus the economy is bad. On a Non Partisan basis people are worried about the future of the USA and I guess the World.

We have been booked since early Feb.(Sunshine..Jan..).No rate changes..however taxes have gone up $48...

I started a thread on this a few weeks ago about this when the Summer offer was originally supposed to end, hoping that Fall discounts will start soon. Someone on that thread stated yesterday that their PVP said fall discounts would most likely not be out until around July! :eek: We sail on the Pride in November & I am hoping for a sale sooner than summer!

[JillySue]

Our fall cruise has gone up, up, up! Seems like everytime I check, it's at least $50 more. It's gonna take a serious sale before we get a drop. Seems like we got a screamin' deal in the first place :)

To me, it would make sense to put cruises on sale after their final payment date and only have to deal with OBC for those that booked ES.

My June 2014 cruise has only gone up since we booked ES back in January :(
