Can't be right!

[dolphins76]

Just yesterday when our friends booked the same cruise we are going on they booked an OV stateroom and they had many different options. Today sold out? Seems weird seeing yesterday there were around 30 plus OV staterooms. Does that seem normal?

Absolutely possible. At any given time, there could be hundreds if not thousands of people looking at any particular sailing. Selling a couple dozen cabins in 24 hours is definitely not far fetched. My PVP used to tell me that his department alone (not counting travel agencies, direct calls, online bookings, etc) made between 1,000-3,000 bookings per day.

 

When is the cruise? Most sailings do sell out.

1/17/16 Sailing out of San Juan on the Liberty.

You can try entering different passenger numbers from 2 - 4. Sometimes the only available cabins are for certain passenger amounts. The only other reason I can think of is an update to the sailing has temporarily removed those rooms from the list for 24 hours. I've seen weird things happen with Carnival's site.

My cruise on Valor January 16 is sold out. Nothing available for the last 2 weeks.

1/14/2016 Dream is sold out

[kelkel2]

It's absolutely possible. Especially right now, the no snow sale they are offering on certain sailings is actually a sale and has some pretty good rates, and they had that cyber sale with cyber Monday. It's very possible!

It could be they assigned all the guaranty cabins.

[Kamloops50]

The average PVP is expected to sell between $90K and $110K in a month.

[Lerin]

That's pretty soon and they just had some Black Friday sales. The OVs for the following week are almost sold out as well.

Wow, you got some time between flights!

LOL, just thinking. I spend lots of time fixing the dang things but not much "checking" them.

 

Sorry, back to the to the thread.. yep Tapi is right, you can log out and back in and possibly see a different rate/room availability.

There's indeed A LOT of down time when I go to work, between flights and during overnights. If I'm posting a lot, that means that I'm away from home. Cruise Critic keeps me entertained during those times! [emoji4]

[ready2cruzagain]

Very possible, our Jan 23rd cruise was showing a lot of rooms last Thursday morning, at least 100 or more and then that afternoon, it showed sold out.

[okgirl]

Keep in mind that not all cabins are displayed on the website.

 

I always just call.

[CruzVinnieCruz]

I just checked another site we use to look at bookings on Carnival for that date:

 

Inside 20 cabins

Outside 0 cabins

Balcony 19 cabins

Suites 13 cabins

 

This site has always been pretty accurate in the past even though we use a PVP. It pretty much lines up with what he sees as available.

 

Take care,

Vinnie

Just got to a point I could check in.. lol. Now til Christmas I will be setting up/fixing laptops/box/etc almost nonstop. Smart TV's as well, with the dang networks to connect it all.

 

So everyone can check for those cabins!

 

PS, if you use a search engine you can find sites that have cabins for sale, best I (or any of us) can do.

Could depend on the rate code you were looking under too. That rate might not allow for the OV's if they are selling good enough.

hmmmm. that seems awfully low. if they work 20 days a month that would only be two a day, if that...

My Princess PVP usually sells about $110k per month . One month they asked if could sell $150k . He came close because he sold one world cruise and a couple of world cruise segments.

I believe that the parameters and minimum requirements have changed, but it used to be 40 bookings a month, so about 2 per day sounds right.

[ccruisequeen]

I booked a cabin at the last minute. My PVP said there were two OV and an inside available. By the time we'd booked, the other two were gone.

I though PVP's worked for Carnival (Cruise Line, not Corp)? CCL doesn't have world cruises.
