PhoenixDawgCruising Posted May 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I never expected it because I booked an Aft Extended Balcony, and since there are so few to begin with, I rarely see a price drop. But this morning, just for kicks, I did a dummy booking for my Aug. 11 cruise on Freedom, and guess what, $100 price drop for me!!!!YAY, it's the first time ever!!:eek: Since it wasn't yet time for final payment to be due, they simply adjusted my amount due to $100 less. So excited!! The way I look at it, the price drop paid for my FTTF and left me with a bit to spare!!!:D Check your bookings people, you never know!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app You should totally check!!On my sailing there are still 3 Aft Extended available, and we're still about 45 days before final payment, and they still did a drop, so I have no idea why they did it, but go check!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixDawgCruising Posted May 22, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted May 22, 2014 where does it show up on your booking? I submitted the form yesterday. I didn't submit a form, I just called and the lady changed the rate and emailed me a new confirmation showing the new rate. I also checked online in "manage my booking" and printed that out as well.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcarter407 Posted May 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So far I have been able to score almost $1,400 of OBC for our group of 9. This is my first cruise and I would not have known to call if it hadn't been for this website. It is such a great thing that Carnival does. I am sailing June 14th. I hope you have a great first cruise!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschwall Posted May 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It pays to call. I didn't see another price drop, but I called anyway. The Carnival rep double checked all of her resources and said I have the lowest rate right now for our booking. We had chatted a little bit while she looked and asked if we like strawberries and wine. I had told her we are celebrating our 25th anniversary so she set us up with chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singer4Him Posted May 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Our last cruise, we received a $500+ price drop credit! It took our TA staying on the phone with Carnival for a while but it was WELL worth it! Always check because you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g8rfan17 Posted May 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I am no expert as I just booked my first cruise, but I booked under a promotion with early saver benefits. I can't remember what it was called exactly. But at the time of booking I was told we'd get price protection and we had an assigned oceanview cabin. The first time I checked the rates with my PvP she said that our rate hadn't dropped much to make it worth the adjustment. Instead she upgraded us to a guaranteed balcony as the price for that type had dropped. I had her check again this week and the price for the guaranteed balcony dropped significantly, but our cabin had already been assigned at this point. I'm not sure what strings she pulled but she managed to get us back to an unassigned balcony so that we could take advantage of the lower rate...later on that day I check my cruise manager online and we ended up back in the same cabin anyway.

cruisinqt Posted May 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2014 We have a balcony cabin on the freedom this August and our price dropped $600! My TA did the price adjustment for us yesterday and we are so happy! Everyone should check their prices, the upgrade your summer sale is awesome and doesn't end until May 26th. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright Posted May 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thank you very much! My 1st price drop on the Breeze for August.... I keep checking everyday and nothing and I just check thanks to your post and I got almost $100.. Not too much but it's better than no price drop.

DisneyNutMary Posted May 24, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I never thought we would see price drops cruising out of NY in August, but so far I've saved $210 on our aft-extended balcony, and $110 on our inside cabin. I'm surprised how many empty cabins are still around us with 73 or so days to go. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
