Early saver event going on, includes up to $50 OBC

[20somethingguy]

Are you able to price match special offers? We have price guarantee but didn't know if we could PM the casino offer we received for the free Fun Chips.

So are you eligible if you've already picked your own stateroom?

 

 

Sugar, yes you are eligible if you've already picked your stateroom. I already had mine picked. It was made easier since the rate was the same. Not sure if things were to change price.

 

Brittany, not sure if casino offers are eligible for the price protection. That's a great question to call in about.

Submitted the form and it says completed successfully but still haven't received confirmation one way or the other. Anyone else not hearing back? i have done it a couple of times. Still no reply. WTH

[cruizinisthebest]

This sale paid off for me. $200 saved on one cabin. $300 on the other. Plus $50 obc per cabin. Thanks early saver!!

[kidlessatsea]

Price protection form was denied (not sure why). I called my PVP and she moved me to my extended balcony of choice (the bowling alley) and gave my $50 OBC no questions asked. Yay!

[SugarStar00]

They're telling me I already have the lowest price and the pack and go is only for new bookings.

[Jkwoody04]

This isn't some special sale for only certain cruisers. Anyone can book early saver right now and benefit from this promo. Or if you are already booked, you can check your prices and see if you qualify for a price drop and/or the OBC only.

 

Thanks I just called my cruise lady. Got $140 of each of my 2 cabins & got that dang 50 on board credit :D

I'm a relative Newbie to cruising and my first carnival cruise is September. We booked the pride on 13th under ES, and snagged the OV w/ French Doors. The rates advertised under this sale are still higher, but I was wondering if we'd be able to get the OBC? We booked through a TA so I'm assuming I'd have to call them first? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[riffatsea]

Call your TA. Let them figure it out for you.

You should be able to get the OBC.

Thank You. I will go take a look. OBC is always good.

[thomarvin]

Got my reduced rate and OBC. The PVP told me that I can just call right up till final payment after that is when I need to fill out the form. I have always just done the form.

 

The more you know..:p

Did you fill out the form and then call your PVP for the reduction? Reason I'm asking - I saw your original post that says you submitted and hadn't heard anything yet. And i'm in the same boat! I submitted yesterday, and then again today (because I'm impatient). In the past, I heard right away. Unsure why i'm getting crickets yet everyone else seems to be getting a quick turn around

 

Wondered if I should just call even though I've already submitted the form. Thx.

[edsbiggbuck]

we switched to this promo 3 days ago saving $20 and getting the $50 on board credit. Submitted a form yesterday for another $160 it was approved and today submitted another form for $100 waiting for approval.

 

Where do you get the form for the OBC? I have 4 cabins booked for May

[Princess_K]

I submitted the firm and received my on board credit just fine!

Thanks.. I submitted Wed for our price drop for the more the Merrier sale. Should give us $130 in credit. Thanks to this I'm asking for my $25 per person as well.

 

Though I still have not heard from my first one. Ive been been sending a note every day since. Plus have my screen shots. I hate this waiting though!

Hi :)

 

Thank you so much for your post! We have existing Early Saver sailings already booked and have received a handful of price drops so far.

 

I just got off the phone with Carnival & asked if we qualify for the $50 promotional on-board credit for our existing sailings.

 

Sure enough we did, and were awarded the $50 credit per cruise for our upcoming B2B aboard the Breeze.

 

Very happy I saw your post prior to January 11th.

 

Thanks again, have a terrific day!

I do have early saver but my cabin category is sold out; does anyone know if I would still be eligible for $50 OBC? The rates for all categories look to be the same now as when i booked. I emailed my PVP yesterday, but no reply yet.

Of all the OBC given that we are reading about, we're any of them inside cabins? My price dropped $500 yesterday and I was given a $30 OBC but my wife and I have a balcony. I immediately reached out to the couple going with us to tell to the call the PVP so they can get something and they were told it didn't apply to inside rooms? Any info on that? Thx!

[pirate4me2]

So even tho the price of my cruise went UP, would I qualify for the $50 OBC?

[SugarStar00]

What is the name of the promotion everyone is saving so much money on???

[Kd_chocolate]

What is the name of the promotion everyone is saving so much money on???

 

It's called "Early Saver Event". http://www.carnival.com/cruise-deals/early-saver.aspx?icid=CC_esevent0105_hmpg_t2_2779

[20somethingguy]

I'm not sure what the process is with a travel agent or private vacation planner. I booked myself online at Carnival.com.

 

When I called, I was asked to still fill out the Price Protection form on carnival.com (the agent on the phone walked me through how to find it and even told me the exact name of the promotion and promo code).

 

The exact name of the promotion and promo code is " Early Saver Upgrade Up to $50 onboard credit OEC ".

 

I think having the exact promo name and promo code put into the sale name field along with filling out the entire form (including where you found the sale) makes the approval faster.

 

When I asked when I should hear back, I was told I should hear back via e-mail by tomorrow. If I didn't, do not resubmit the form. Just call the carnival customer service #.

 

Glad to hear that people are benefiting from this! Good luck!!!

Pirate4me, I believe so. My rate didn't change and I still received the onboard credit.

 

Call Carnival to find out. I'd still send in a form just in case. The worst they can do is deny the request.

I just want to double check as I see everyone getting price drops plus the $50 OBC.

 

I am booked early saver for my cruise in May. I already got my $50 OBC this past week when I sent in my form (got denied) and I called Carnival and they gave me the OBC.

 

When I do a mock booking, it is currently $779 for a balcony per person, however there is the let Carnival choose your room for $729. I can't send in a form for the $729 is that correct? I don't think so, but I just wanted to double check (first time booked ES).

 

Thanks!!

You can try and price match to the assigned rate. They may let you do it. What I've seen is sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Just be sure you want to give up picking your own room for the $50 savings. And if they do it, make sure you maintain your $50 OBC as the assigned rate right now also has that promo. Give them a call.

Although I may not be the best person to reply to you, since i'm still waiting to hear back on my price protection submission lol. But for our cruise, I noticed if I do a mock booking, the rate looks to be higher than the rate we paid. But if I use the Fare Viewer, it is $90 per person cheaper for the same category. This is where I took my screenshot in case I need it later.

 

I just called my PVP to see if she could shake things loose and she said I should wait one more day for a response. When she looked it up, her response lead me to believe I would receive credit.

 

I will reply back once confirmed (or denied)!
