falkcor Posted February 20, 2015 #26 Share Posted February 20, 2015 i just checked a few sailings - the special vifp member rates seem to be the exact same price as early saver, plus $50 OBC. so really it's just $50 OBC :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My price was lower on our current sailing than my sister, who didn't get the offer. Her cabin is exactly the same as early saver when doing a mock booking online.

bonnie&clydecruzers Posted February 21, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks OP for the heads up, but nothing new for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzrwKidz Posted February 21, 2015 #29 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks! Just saved us $80 one one room and my neighbors $80 on their room. Love the price breaks! I learn so much reading these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUcajunmom Posted February 21, 2015 #30 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This is what I got thanks to a casino rate. I'm booked ES so I now have $758 in OBC. My cruise cost was basically the taxes because the $100 for the cruise rate was given back as an OBC. The other $658 is what I originally paid when I first booked w ES.

brownies95 Posted February 21, 2015 #31 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I have 2 offers but am unable to view them. When I click on the offer the next page turns light blue and won't let me click on anything. Anyone else having this problem? Tim:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted February 21, 2015 Author #32 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Brownie, try a new browser or clearing out your cookies. If that doesn't work, call Carnival. They should be able to see your special offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sailing on CCL in the near future....they don't value loyalty....going where our business is appreciated. I feel the same way. I am thinking of trying out other cruise lines that actually value my business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted February 22, 2015 #39 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Looked yesterday and saw we had the typical upgrade "offer" and the Vista offer. Nothing good. Again. However, I did start peeking at NCL's website and we may try them this Fall. Maybe if we cruise on other lines for a bit, our absence from CCL may get some notice and generate an offer or two. :P Edited February 22, 2015 by The4Cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've cruised on Carnival, RCI, Celebrity, HAL, and Princess. I do want to give NCL a try one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do want to give NCL a try one of these days. I've never even looked at other lines before. We've been real happy with CCL on the first 11 cruises. But what the heck, this could be a good time to start seeing what else is out there. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzer1102 Posted February 23, 2015 #42 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have the offer in my VIFP, however I booked my cruise in August 2014. Am I still eligible for the OBC for past guest rate? Just wondering if I should call and speak with a different rep as the one I was speaking with was very short with me and told me she was unable to even see the offer I was looking at. I offered to send her a screenshot and she talked right over me saying it wasn't necessary. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUcajunmom Posted February 23, 2015 #43 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes, call back. Same thing happened to me. When I called back I spoke w someone who was more than happy to make it work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they plug in your VIFP #, any offers should come up. I was already booked and saved money and got the OBC for my cabin. I'm booked through a TA and had no problem getting the adjustment.

TanIslandGirl Posted March 20, 2015 #45 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Always check those offers. Our cruise on The Pride last July was FREE. Thought it couldn't be true but it was. Cost us taxes & port fees only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyotravel Posted March 20, 2015 #46 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thank you, thank you. I have a cruise booked in seven weeks. I wouldn't even have looked. When I did look this morning because of this post, my cabin type was sold out so there were no offers for that. HOWEVER, the suite price went down and I upgraded for a much lower price than I would have paid originally. Suite!! Therefore, the OP was my upgrade fairy. I love the CC boards. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! BTW, the offer I originally posted about is still showing under my VIFP #. Good until April 27. The price of my cabin has dropped twice. And it's always even less by about $30-$40 with this offer plugged in. I love it!!! Edited March 20, 2015 by cruizinisthebest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinf Posted March 20, 2015 #48 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Always check those offers. Our cruise on The Pride last July was FREE. Thought it couldn't be true but it was. Cost us taxes & port fees only. I got this same offer this year and also thought it couldn't be true. Rate was $50 per person for inside and $120 for balcony for the first two people with a $100 on board credit. We decided to treat our neice and nephew and are taking them with us. Total price for an 8k extended balcony room for 7 day cruise out of Baltimore in May was $1,412. We still can't believe the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talliana Posted March 20, 2015 #49 Share Posted March 20, 2015 These have been on my account for about a month now. I check my VIFP every day. Not good deals for me the first offer has best prices when kids are in school, so not good for me also only short cruises being offered on mine. The second one has prices for fall only for 2-4 day cruises in the fall. We only do 7 day cruises on Carnival, in the fall when the kids are out of school. We have done 2 short cruises on RCL in the fall also. When they offer me 7 day fall / holiday cruises at a discount then I'll consider that to be special.

blondietink Posted March 20, 2015 #50 Share Posted March 20, 2015 You must be lucky, or I am just unlucky. :( I have checked our VIFP offers religiously and only get the lousy 2 category upgrade offer. Checked again today and still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
