Rare MistyRo76 Posted February 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2015 So frequent Carnival cruiser here - just booked #16 (I think...I'm starting to lose count!). Was just checking fares using the Carnival Fare Viewer. My husband, daughter and I are booked in an 8E cabin and it showed that our fare went down $100 since booking (I've submitted for the price drop YAY!). But when I checked the same category cabin for 2 guests for one of our travel mates, it didn't show any decrease. Why would that be?? Just curious! I was surprised that having a third in our cabin would result in a price drop but not for a cabin with 2 (not complaining...just curious!). Also, they still have the option of putting your state in for any special residency rates. I cannot recall seeing any special rates for my state in probably 10-15 years. I think occasionally when I first started cruising, I would see them. But not in many years. Does Carnival still offer residency rates? Are these just for states that have cruise ports maybe? Again...just curious more than anything else! I keep putting in my wonderful state of Kentucky hoping to see a deal...but maybe I'll stop doing that! LOL Thanks - Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&TQ Posted February 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There is a more the merrier sale going on. I was able to upgrade to a balcony but my 3 person price dropped enough that the upgrade was only $93.00. Maybe that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted February 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Reduced rate for 3rd person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuddrules Posted February 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Two's company, three's a crowd. They want the crowd. This maximizes cabin capacity and as such they often give special rates for 3 and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruadhin Posted February 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2015 To the state resident rates, I do see them from time to time. For Tennessee, it is generally for cruises out of New Orleans. I guess they feel Kentucky isn't close enough to any port that a special rate would be enough to push someone into going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
