gem114 Posted February 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi all, Looking to book a cruise for this July (my second cruise ever, both Carnival!). The rate options are Early Saver ($619) and Go Save ($649). It seems like the reason to pay the extra $30 for Go Save is that it says it has free upgrades. What does that include? I know with the Early Saver you can get refunded/OBC if the price drops before the cruise, which sounds like a great deal to me. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Well, I can tell you I am an ES fan...I'm up to almost $600 OBC (hello bar tab!:D) with price drops between 2 rooms. If you can find the room you want with ES, go that route.

gem114 Posted February 5, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Well, I can tell you I am an ES fan...I'm up to almost $600 OBC (hello bar tab!:D) with price drops between 2 rooms. If you can find the room you want with ES, go that route. That's awesome!! Congratulations! When I just checked online there were plenty of rooms still available in the category we are looking at. We want an oceanview, which is a bit of a downgrade from the balcony we had last year on the Pride, but we only got that because the price changed so significantly and we didn't have ES. She couldn't give us OBC, so she upgraded our room. It was our first cruise, and we were definitely spoiled. :P Edited February 5, 2015 by gem114 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted February 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2015 ES is funny. People think they are getting a deal but you are really just prepaying your OBC. You pay Carnival $1000 for your cruise then it goes down to $600 after final payment so you get $400 OBC but Carnival still has your $1000. It's not like it's free OBC.

SDcruiser66 Posted February 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It can just as easily go up in price. You just need to know what you feel is a fair price for the itinerary and time of year that you want.
