dolphins76 Posted December 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted December 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 3, 2015 by Tapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Miami_Cruiser Posted December 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted December 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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!

welldone60 Posted December 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It could be they assigned all the guaranty cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted December 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The average PVP is expected to sell between $90K and $110K in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted December 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 3, 2015 That's pretty soon and they just had some Black Friday sales. The OVs for the following week are almost sold out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sailings do sell out. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted December 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wow, you got some time between flights! 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted December 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted December 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Keep in mind that not all cabins are displayed on the website. I always just call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzVinnieCruz Posted December 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

vwrestler171 Posted December 3, 2015 #18 Share Posted December 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainepaddler Posted December 4, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The average PVP is expected to sell between $90K and $110K in a month. hmmmm. that seems awfully low. if they work 20 days a month that would only be two a day, if that...

Kamloops50 Posted December 4, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 4, 2015 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.

Rare Tapi Posted December 4, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 4, 2015 hmmmm. that seems awfully low. if they work 20 days a month that would only be two a day, if that... 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 Posted December 5, 2015 #22 Share Posted December 5, 2015 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. My Cruise Countdown | I'm sailing to Mexico on 01/11/2016 aboard the Carnival Inspiration!
