justinsmom Posted October 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I checked the price this morning on my March 29, 2015 sailing of Carnival Splendor and found that the price had dropped by $100 per person. We had 4 cabins booked, three balcony and 1 Premium Vista Balcony. I sent the price protection form in and received the approval for all 4 within minutes. That was a quick $800. So.....you might want to check. You might save a few bucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2014 With ES or before final payment, it is always a good idea to check prices daily. I've seen them change 3 times in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPhoenix91 Posted October 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That would be sooooo nice if that happened to us. We have ES for our Grand Suite with EB, so chances are slim to -2 that we'll ever see a price change :p But I am glad to see others succeed in theirs!

Raven Days Posted October 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I ended up with $780 for 3 cabins. How long does it take for the OBC to show on my doc's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted October 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Congrats! I applied for an OBC with a price drop, and the price had dropped an additional 20 per person while I was applying, so I got the total up front. Didn't know that though, so when I went on line today, I applied for another OBC, they told me I had already received it. I went back and calculated the OBC and they were right, so it(the second price drop) all happened within 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My actual documents didn't change, but they sent me an email, that should it was on my account. I went back today and looked and there is nothing showing. Only shows in the email they sent.

snc_cam Posted October 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2014 You may want to contact Carnival and ask them about it. Plus, if your cruise is coming up, I would take a copy of the latest booking showing the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayesq Posted October 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm on the March 22, 2015 Breeze 6 day and the price keeps going up instead of down. What are the chances that the price will ever go down? It sounds like other cruises during that time are dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbiesgal21 Posted October 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2014 We didn't book ES because it was already gone, but prices dropped so much on our Thanksgiving cruise on the Pride that we went from an inside 4K to a balcony on the Verandah deck for only $30 more! Thought it was well worth the investment=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyCo Posted October 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2014 How do I know if I am ES? I've already paid in full... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 28, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hey Janet, on your email confirmation down toward the bottom in the "Guest Notes" section, if you are ES, it will state that (mine is item #2) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyCo Posted October 28, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Oh ok ... thanks .... I deleted that email long ago! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I never delete the confirmation email in case I need to question something. Plus it has information that doesn't exist elsewhere. My suggestion would be to call Carnival and ask them. You may want to ask them to send you another confirmation email. This way if something happens to your booking you have proof.

crzndeb Posted October 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Oh ok ... thanks .... I deleted that email long ago! :) I would never delete anything that has to do with cruise and money situations. If anything, I would flag it for quick access if there are ever any questions. You might be able to check your trash and see if it is still there, and resend to yourself. Or as somebody else mentioned, have Carnival resend it to you.

trvlgirlmq Posted October 28, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Just saved another $260 on our cruise that is still over 6 months away. Love seeing my final payment reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinWithFamily Posted October 28, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I had to contact my pvp today for a price reduction for two cabins. One was 54. And the other was an unexpected 1300$ price reduction for a past military sale tied to my husbands vifp number. Cruise was paid for so that is a lot of OBC. Def gonna have some fun!

Herbaltees Posted October 28, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2014 My actual documents didn't change, but they sent me an email, that should it was on my account. I went back today and looked and there is nothing showing. Only shows in the email they sent. You have to click where it says 'print your cruise documents'. When the PDF opens, on pg2, it will show the OBC. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinWithFamily Posted October 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well just got notice that they made a mistake and its only 100$ obc. Not happy but it is still a credit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahagan Posted October 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's a price drop on my 8E cabin for a July, 2015 cruise. I have a call in to my TA about it, but just tried to access my billing info on the Carnival site and can't find it anywhere. Shouldn't there be a current statement under the billing section of my booking? It would be nice to be able to check how much we still owe, but I can't find that info.

karessamom Posted October 28, 2014 #21 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I noticed a price drop too for our Aug 2015 Cruise on Magic. I'm wondering if the price would drop any more or if it would go back up?? trying to possibly hold out for a better room (right now we're booked interior PH on Magic. if the prices drops much more we might be able to upgrade to an Ocean view or even balcony but I doubt it would drop that much. but don't want to lose out on $100 savings. went thru TA on booking and haven't paid off as yet.

legion3 Posted October 28, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Top notch, just saved $440 on our may cruise!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattyL Posted October 28, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Booked our April 2015 cruise on 6/14. Had 1 price drop on 8/25 for $35.00 pp. Prices have gone up $190.00 pp since then. I sure would like to see more price drops before we cruise. We are in an 8E cabin so I am thinking I might not see a lot of credit. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
