Rare Honolulu Blue Posted November 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I didn't see anyone else post this, so I guess I'll do the honors. This is from Carnival's PR site, so I'll post it in its entirety. The full release is at http://carnival-news.com/2015/11/25/carnival-cruise-line-hosts-four-day-cyber-weekend-sale-over-thanksgiving-holiday/ : Carnival Cruise Line Hosts Four-Day ‘Cyber Weekend’ Sale Over Thanksgiving Holiday Posted on: November 25th, 2015 - News Blog Carnival Cruise Line kicks off a massive Cyber Weekend sale on Friday offering a number of exceptional value-added promotions. A different promotion will be showcased each day over the four-day holiday period, kicking off Friday with a 24-hour sale touting cruises available for as little as $49 per person per day. Saturday’s promotion includes two- to five-day voyages starting at $65 per person per day with a shipboard credit of $65 per stateroom, while Sunday’s sale highlights cruises of six days and longer available for as low as $75 per person per day with a shipboard credit of $75 per stateroom. The promotion concludes with a 24-hour Cyber Monday sale offering Early Saver rates, 50 percent reduced deposits, $1 upgrades and free price protection on select Carnival sailings. Aided by a collection of lively animated robots relaxing on a Caribbean island, Carnival’s Cyber Weekend sale will be promoted with a series of advertisements and videos across the company’s social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Cyber Weekend deals are available in conjunction with a variety of three- to eight-day Carnival cruises through May 16, 2016, departing from convenient homeports along the East and West Coasts and the Gulf of Mexico. Applicable sail dates and booking windows vary by promotion. Certain other restrictions apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Shoot, only on cruises through mid May, 2016! Oh well, I plan to check my past guest deals just in case. Here's hoping they do the gift card special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love-to-ride Posted November 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Checked the price of my cruise for early May, price is up 40.00 from when we booked. We already have on board credit from pass sale. Not expecting a better price but wiil check . Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be Bender's sweeter, gentler, family-friendly kin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seannyice81 Posted November 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This is sort of a "greatest hits" of their sales. Can't deny I will probably book something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainepaddler Posted November 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I was hoping for a gift card promo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Still hoping for the gift card promo, it's not Friday yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Still hoping for the gift card promo, it's not Friday yet. It's Friday now and no promo. Might as well say Carnivals Black Friday sale is a bust also. Since last night one of my cruises went up $300 and another I was looking at went up $150.

PrincessPatti Posted November 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Checked this morning, and saw that my cruise is $100 cheaper. Already contacted my PVP (after taking screen shots). Waiting on a response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Cares? Posted November 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have 2 cruises booked and both are higher. Mar 2016 is $160 pp higher for a worse cabin (a 4A when I have a 4J booked). Mar 2017 is $30 pp higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted November 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's Friday now. The cruises I have been watching actually went up last night. Hmm... Somehow not impressed, so far anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser fanatic Posted November 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I am very disappointed in these deals. Not a sale IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogchopper Posted November 27, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 27, 2015 My cruise also went up 60 bucks pp. I did see that the next category up was cheaper but it's a guarantee cabin and I cannot get it with the early saver promotion. In my opinion this is how they get away with not price matching for early saver. I used to do well with it but now the only time it's cheaper is when it's a guarantee cabin. I don't think i will be booking early saver any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepenfun Posted November 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Been watching my cruise in April for a price drop but it hasn't budged from $789 for a balcony room in a couple months. looked yesterday and today and its still $789 and no OBC included. I paid $729 for mine back in July. All well. Ill keep buying the Carnival gift cards through Verizon points program and save money that way and use them for OBC with our sail and sign card. 50 free bucks is 50 free bucks. get a couple of the $500 cards and i'm ahead $100 already. I've already saved $90 buying the gift cards and using them to pay off the cruise balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwardcabin Posted November 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The cyber weekend sale is just the same ole off-peak rates for the same ole off-peak cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I had looked forward to this weekend hoping for the gift card special with Barclay card or at least a price drop. Neither!!! Bummer. Maybe if Carnival does not get the reaction and sales they had hoped, they will improve things before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kteachcruiser52 Posted December 9, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 9, 2015 With the nec CEO and her philosophy that cheap cruising is ending and profits must increase substantially, I don't think we will see the good deals or sales like we have in the past. I know we sailed for 14 days this January for a cabin rate of $31 per person, double occupancy. Iwe were interior Main deck and interior deck 10. I haven't seen anything close to that since we booked those 2 during promotions:a 12 hour sale and a 32 hour sale. Now,those kinds of sales are not really "sales" at all. Now I will compare prices and deals on other lines instead of just automatically booking Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
