12 Hour Sale and "BL" Rate?

[Bobblefrog]

Hi all -

 

Checking fare viewer this morning and see a 12 hour sale that is lower than my current ES rate. But when I go to pull up the rates for Balcony, all I see is BL - not the usual categories. Is that a generic rate for all balconies regardless of the level? Color me confused!

 

EDIT: Ah, think I answered my own question - this is how they designate guarantees. Not willing to give up my cabin selection even though it was a nice price difference!

Means that Carnival chooses your room and not eligible for the price protection.

Boo!!!!

If you notice it is a 12 hour sale and the offer ends at midnight. I don't think it will work correctly until 12pm today. I am doing a mock booking and it is not showing up on my cruise but on fareviewer it is. I also notice it is for guarantee cabins only.

 

OOPs...just seen it now in mock booking and it is available and only for guarantee cabins, no assigned cabins.

just checked the carnival site and don't see it on the main page or in a mock booking... I will wait until 12 noon and see if it changes.

It was on one of my cruises but not the other. We are going to pass since it is a b2b and we want the same room. Big difference in price though.

It's only good for select cruises through February 2016,so that could be the reason its not showing up for you

Thanks for the additional info. I only checked the Sept cruise. I will now check the Feb cruise to see if it shows. If not, will wait until noonish :)

So, checking the Feb cruise, I do see the 12 hour sale. Would save me $200 from my current rate, but I would give up my cabin on Deck 7 Fwd.... Not worth it at this time to do that... But will KEEP checking :)

 

Thanks all for the notice :)
