SuzanneH Posted September 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Looking at the Freedom Jan 7, '17 sailing, balcony cabin rates. What is the difference in rules between the Fun Select rate and the Fall into Savings rate? I can't see much difference in the fine print other than the book by restriction on the Fall rate. What am I missing? I actually work for an airline and can decipher those fare rules with the best of them but this has me stumped :confused: . Maybe I'm looking for a difference that isn't there? Thanks!! :) :D :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the least expensive rates Carnival offers and will save you money over the two rate codes you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzanneH Posted September 11, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thank you Ray98. i appreciate it!! Bev- this question was actually for Someone else that had asked me to check out the rules for them. Thank you, though, because I'm amazed at how many co-workers don't know interline rates exist, so I appreciate you bringing it up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The only difference I see is that the Fall into Savings rate is only for new bookings. That won't matter to you but it may matter to folks who are already booked and who want to use it for a price drop rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
