Price protection confusion

[MNCruizer1]

I know it has to be the same category..but does it have to be the exact same level as well? Our level is sold out...so trying to make sure. We booked early saver

 

Thank you

If it is on a different deck then it would not be the same category.

Not necessarily true. A 4E can be midships on deck 6 on a Conquest-type ship and forward/aft on deck 7.

If the higher category is the same price or lower, can you not get a free upgrade?

Needs to be the same category, but not necessarily the same deck.

You can ask for an upgrade if the same price or less, but have a cabin picked out when you call so you can make a specific request. It's easier and takes less time that way.

I booked an inside cabin with a free upgrade to a 4K under ES. My PVP said even if the 4K sells out I can still get the sale price on an inside because that's what I paid for.

I thought that if your category sold out you could not price match. At least that was what I was told by Carnival. Also, you could not get the price match of a lower category than a 4k...that makes no sense.

Thank you. I read through it...the guy on the phone...wouldn't even look into it. He said if the form said no..that was it. Kept saying there must be none of my category available. I am fine with no price drops..I booked the price but just want to make sure if they are available..I understand them.

 

Thank you
