Reduced Deposits

[jcgld62]

Anyone else go through a 'pretend' booking on one of the $49 deposit cruises and at the end it says deposit due $800? I'm putting in 4 people for a 5 day so that would be the normal deposit amount. What am I missing?

not sure what went wrong for you but i booked 2 cruises back to back with this special and it was 250 per cruise, 5 of use sailing .

I checked out a couple of 7 night cruises.

 

The deposit for both of them was $198 total (2 of us).

i don't know either. I'm looking at Triumph 9/3, I'll contact my PVP tomorrow.

I had the same issue. Deposit should be $79 but it keeps telling me $200.

This is the pricing guide for the reduced deposits.....

 

The Early Saver fare is subject to availability and is capacity controlled. $49 per person deposit is applicable to 2 -3 day sailings, $79 per person deposit is applicable to 4 – 5 day sailings, $99 per person deposit is applicable to 6 – 9 day and Vista Caribbean sailings, and $149 per person deposit is applicable to 10+ days, Alaska, Vista Europe sailings.

 

Definitely shouldn't be $800. Although it does say "capacity controlled". I remember someone on FB saying they were having this problem during the last reduced deposit, and, the answer they were given is that Carnival had already filled their availability for that sailing under the reduced deposits. I have no idea if that is actually the case or not, but, that's what they were told on the Carnival FB page.

same cruise?

I've heard of glitches but it's also a tiered system of 49 to 150 per person. Just put down $600 for 6 people on a 7 night cruise. Normal is $250 pp, so I was happy to put down $600 vs $1500

The deposit details say $49 and up.

There is also a breakdown of various deposits based on length of cruise, but when I did mock bookings, I too received deposit amounts in conflict with stated deposits.

Yes it was weird... I tried again and it gave the new deposit.

If that's the case then this particular cruise should not come up under that promotion as an option to book. Even throughout the 'pretend' booking it states "$49 reduced deposit" as one of the booking category perks.

Call them to get it.

I agree. Their site has been so screwed up lately so it's probably just a glitch.

I don't think I have ever booked online. I like to use my PVP so I can pick the cabin and deck I want. Never had a problem with the special pricing that way. If it did show another price, the pvp took care of it.

I was wondering why my mock booking for a 4-day said $158. Makes sense now...
