johno1234 Posted February 23, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yep - price drops are to clear out unsold cabins. The last thing the company wants is empty cabins and they'll drop prices through the floor to ensure that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweets2323 Posted February 23, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is the category level considered the deck? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno1234 Posted February 23, 2017 #28 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I believe so. E.g. 8J is the same price whether deck 5 or 6. But extended balcony on deck 8 is 8K and priced a little higher etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citcatt1 Posted February 24, 2017 #29 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I got an email yesterday that said Carnival was having a summer sale. I'm cruising in August so I did a mock booking and it was $120.00 cheaper so I called my pvp and she took the 120.00 off! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolavix Posted February 24, 2017 #30 Share Posted February 24, 2017 When you do the mock booking, be sure to include your state of residence. We saved $700 (which was about 20% of the cruise cost) on our two cabins when there was a resident sale. You had to live in certain states, but if I had ignored that drop down menu when doing the price check, I would not have known. As it was, I still had to call since the automatic system rejected my price drop request, but when I called it was honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno1234 Posted February 24, 2017 #31 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Good tip! Sadly still no price drop for me - tried New Zealand, California (in state) and Delaware (tax dodger state) and it's all the same. They are only dropping the price on the GTY balconies.
