newlife_2010 Posted December 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Should I wait until Monday for Paradise January 10 sailing? The current rate is $224 solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted December 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Should I wait until Monday for Paradise January 10 sailing? The current rate is $224 solo. Actually it's even cheaper. The promo with the on board credit is 253.50 with 50 in OBC, so it's really 203.50. There are only 3 cabins left aft on the upper deck 169, 173, & 175. Midship, you're down on the riviera deck, with about 6 cabin choices. Of course all of these are upper/lower, but since you're solo, it's OK. I would hop on one of the 3 available upper deck cabins. Including taxes, it's under 300 bucks for a solo cabin for 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsoneramos Posted December 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 13, 2014 You can put a hold tomorrow, and wait until monday to see the sale, and then compare the total fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted December 13, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yep, this is the first time they've offered some REALLY good deals for a month or so. I just booked "Paradise" SOLO, for Jan 19th, (can't go on the 10th) for $253.50, + 91.24, with a $37.50 OBC, for a total cost of 307.24 for a five day cruise. Pretty hard to beat, especially since I'm a Stock holder as well, so subtract the $50 OBC for that, and I'm cruising for 257.24, inclusive of taxes, etc. That's $51.45 per day. (I eat more chocolate melting cake than that!) ;) "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reports are saying wait till Monday and I may luck with a OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the rates aren't great, but hoping to be able to book and surprise him :) No he didn't tell me, just ask what I wanted & when I told him he said to wait. What can you lose by waiting? What ship are you looking at ? We are on the Paradise for Christmas. Booked a few weeks ago. Will have to check price's. Although they have already called with a free up grade to a OV. That was the first of the week. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kteachcruiser52 Posted December 14, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 14, 2014 During the last 12 hour sale, we got an Inside guarantee for 8 days on the Freedom in January for $240 pp. During the 35 hour sale, we got an inside guarantee in January for a 6 day on the Conquest for $189 pp. I will be watching to see if the sale is this good on Monday.

Those are awesome deals!!! I'm hoping for something similar .... when I told my dad of my cruises in 2015, he started pouting ... he's like can you find me a cabin too? Me and my kids have been cruising with dad since mom passed (2004) ... mom and dad cruised almost every year after retiring ... so, since I already have that week off and he's 87 and has everything that he would need except quality time with his "favorite" daughter (yes, I'm the only girl) and doing something that he just loves ... I am so hoping Monday's sale can make it happen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd wait too much longer to book because there are very few rooms left. There's only 2 or 3 interior, no oceanview, and then a few balcony and suites.

newlife_2010 Posted December 14, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You can put a hold tomorrow, and wait until monday to see the sale, and then compare the total fares. What is needed to put a hold on a cruise fare - a credit card? Also, is it binding - meaning if I choose to do book the cruise am I not able to cancel once the sale fares are published Monday?

nelsoneramos Posted December 14, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 14, 2014 No credit card needed, log on carnival and fill everything like when you are ready to book, when they ask you to pay deposit, on the right side it will be a link, "24 hours courtesy hold", click that link and you will have reserve that booking for the next 24 hours. If you don't pay the deposit, it will automatically cancel. When tomorrow sale begins, you compare the total prices and choose which one is better for you. If you are better with the sale, just cancel that booking and do a new one with the sale fares; if not, pay the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
