kapcruiser Posted April 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I just booked our cruise last week for May. Final payment was due at time of booking. The IS guarantee room I booked dropped 200.00. Is there anything I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swscruiser Posted April 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Nope, Only Early Saver after final payment, and only then matching category to same category no guarantees, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpayroll Posted April 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Sorry, after final payment you are locked into the rate you paid.:( Edited April 8, 2015 by mrpayroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dioxide45 Posted April 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yup, don't even check the prices after final payment unless you have ES. Of course, if your cancellation penalty is less than the decrease in rates, you could cancel the cruise and rebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapcruiser Posted April 8, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't know what cancellation penalty would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dioxide45 Posted April 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't know what cancellation penalty would be. Depends on the cruise lenth, location, and how far in advance you are cancelling. Take a look at the cruise ticket contract. Itsm #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed93 Posted April 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Check the rate for a higher category. If lower than you paid perhaps they would give you a courtesy upgrade. Other than that, don't look at the fare anymore and enjoy your cruise. :) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psudab23 Posted April 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I booked with early saver and today I decided to do a mock booking to get a price for a friend that may want to join us. I realized there was a $390 difference so I called carnival and they walked me through the steps to get an on board credit (final payment was paid last week). If you look on carnival.com and on the bottom of the home page there is a option to click lowest price guarantee button and you can submit a form for an on board credit. Waiting to hear back from them. Says we will hear back in in 2 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I can do? Your best bet is to stop checking prices since there is nothing you can do at this point. You'll drive yourself nuts if you keep checking.

Stateroom_Sailor Posted April 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) The last minute savings is generally meant to offset increased airfare and last minute scramble, but 2 months away you're not very inconvenienced. I don't know about Carnival, but RCL and Celebrity will still let you upgrade after final payment. If you're in an OV and the Balcony is now $150 difference, you're basically still getting the new savings, just on a better cabin.
