Past Guest Appreciation Event - new sale!!

[snc_cam]

Okay...NOW....after being rejected via email TWICE and calling TWICE...

 

I am ES paid in full.

 

Seemed like the first and second person I spoke to had NO idea what was going on and I gave in when they both told me I was not eligible. WHAT is the sense of having ES then????

 

 

After a few minutes of thinking about it, I called BACK for the THIRD time.

 

I not only got the $10 per day = $70......BUT......a $50 price drop.

 

YIPEEEEEEEEE

 

BE PERSISTENT EVERYONE

 

congrats... :) And I noticed on the denial form from today they had an extension to contact directly instead of going to the main switchboard.

[snc_cam]

Seriously, Carnival needs to stop denying eligible price drop forms! This is getting ridiculous. My cruise isn't until August so this sale doesn't apply to me, but I sure don't feel like going through the ringer to get adjustments if I'm eligible for future sales. We have 3 cabins booked! This will become like a part-time job. Geesh.

 

agree... but for a few minutes on the phone, saved another $60 :) more than I make at my part-time work :)

We have an ES rate for our APRIL 5th cruise - so should be outside the dates of the current promo. But we called our TA anyway - we booked using Airmiles in Canada so just called the Airmiles number we don't have a specific person to deal with. They called Carnival (with DH on hold) and were able to get the offer for our trip!!!

 

Looking online we were able to mock book the same category room for $160 less plus get $70 OBC - even thought the promo states March ending.

 

We were able to get $160 off the final payment AND the $70 OBC!!!

 

There is a first time for everything and lesson learned is just because it states that your sailing is outside the promo it doesnt hurt to have a look just in case!!!:D

I emailed my request for the price adjustment when this thread first became active in the night to my PVP. First thing this morning my PVP emailed me my new conformation with the lower price and higher OBC. Price protection forms are for the birds! :)

[QTPieRye]

Getting ready to call groups desk and put in for adjustment..... We are booked ES, got adjustment and $50 OBC under the recent National Cruise Fare Week sale.... today the price is $100.00 cheaper and still get $50 OBC :) Cruise is paid in full, although not required to be until final payment date of November 11th.... going to request refund of difference. Will let y'all know how it works out.

I tend to check twice a day, usually in the mornings and then late afternoons. And I will go through the various rates available for the cruise doing a mock booking. Takes just a few seconds for each. The sale this morning I first thought was the "Senior rate" and then noticed the $10/day OBC.... Was DEFINITELY worth a second look :)

[sanmarcosman]

Has anyone been successful in getting the OBC if NOT booked as ES and within 35 days of sailing?

If anyone ever has it was most likely a mistake. When calling the main number at Carnival and talking to the first person who answers mistakes often occur so it could happen ;)

[Swampbaby]

As usual, our FEB cruise stays the same which is several hundred dollars more than we paid. Will keep looking as we are ES.

I got another price drop and adding more OBC to my February 28th Breeze cruise. The last one paid off my cruise and got me OBC.

nice :)

[LadySam1968]

Well mine was just rejected. Telling me it would be more expensive. The mock booking even after taxes had it at 150 less. Going to try again.

Hey Sam, when that happened to me this morning, I just called and talked to the person. They got it resolved. You may want to do this instead of resubmitting the form.

Just talked to my PVP. He said I have to submit the form. He said we qualify but he can not make the change over the phone unless we have a problem. So, I'm submitting the form, waiting for the DENIAL and then calling him back...lol!

[snc_cam]

so you have the system worked out too :)

Really? Sorry...congrats. Did you call or submit a form. Seems like all of us submitted the form first, or if anyone called, were TOLD they had to submit the form. How did you get so lucky?

Hey Rye, I remember discussing that the other week. Good luck getting this one done with only a couple of days. :) Steve

Yeah, congrats... but you cheated... you emailed your PVP and let them do it... :)

Having a PVP who knows how to do their job is not cheating :)

That is why I'm sure mine is going to be denied. Cruise rate IS cheaper but after taxes is not. I just want the OBC:D

I think they are still working through the kinks. I told them I preferred the old method of just calling in... They laughed. :)
