Please refresh my memory. Price drop early saver and promo obc.

[missguy]

I have a cruise booked early saver with a 50$ OBC promo, Now I see the price drop of 20$ total. Will they add it to the 50$ that I have or just give me 20$ and forfeit the 50$? It is before final payment. Thank you.

Before final payment, they will reduce what you owe. But, if the new price that is $20 lower does not include OBC, you will forfeit the $50 you already have -- in essence, you'll be $30 poorer. If the new price still includes the OBC, then go for it.

Ok I get it. That is the case with the current Carnival sale, no obc just price drop. But I see on an another website that gives 50$ obc (which I already have) and shows the price drop. Should I submit the form or call my PVP to claim the 20$ difference?

Carnival will not price match to TA promotional OBC (since that comes out of the TA's commission). Also, don't forget that if you booked with a $50 deposit, you will be required to make the full deposit before any price matches.

I tried this with the last $50 deposit promotion CCL had going on. I was told that they won't match the price because its not a carnival advertised price.

"Early Saver fare is backed by a unique price protection policy (only available to bookings made in USD currency) that allows you to adjust your cruise fare to the best available fare for a like category stateroom (no downgrades allowed) advertised by Carnival and available to the general public."

Based on that paragraph, are vifp rates not eligible for price matching as they wouldn't be available to everyone, i.e. the general public?

In my experience, if you received a promotion in your vifp account, you can switch to that promotion as long as it doesn’t stipulate “new bookings only”
