Robert & Debra Posted June 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I want to book a cruise on Dream for next year but I am really confused by the website. It forces me to take best price and early saver. Is there a way I can just book the cruise without those options? I don't like the idea of not being able to cancel and get my deposit back when the cruise is so far away. Many things can happen in that time period.

firemanbobswife Posted June 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Select "Other Rates" below the box in small print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted June 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2014 call carnival directly. open up the deck plans before you call so you can check cabins location before you book. This way you can check was is above and below the cabin they offer. CCL has more cabins available (including connecting if you need that) than what shows on their website.

cruizinisthebest Posted June 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Should be a link under the early saver rate that says "other rates." Click on it. Make sure you check off any special situations that apply to your party (i.e. past guest, 55+, etc).

Robert & Debra Posted June 18, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Select "Other Rates" below the box in small print. I tried that and the only option they give me is to upgrade. Lol. I think they know how to drive me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert & Debra Posted June 18, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted June 18, 2014 So I called and after talking to a very nice lady I booked the cruise with the best price and early saver. I am so excited to stay in a cove balcony. Thanks all for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted June 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) FYI about early saver: you need to monitor the price drops yourself then either call or fill out an online form. I checked often (sometimes multiple times a day) They dont automatically give you the lower price. I also dont make final payment till its due otherwise you get OBC for any drops. On one cruise I saved hundreds of dollars. Edited June 18, 2014 by thomarvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
