Have You Seen This When Looking to Book

I know there are a ton of different prices for each cabin! I know the prices are specifically for me when I type in my VIFP number. Today was the first time that I saw that when I searched for cabins on Carnival’s site not all of the available cabins showed up. Yesterday I checked a booking site and they had more cabins available than what I saw on Carnival. I emptied my cache on my computer and then returned to Carnival’s website and I did not put in my VIFP number this time - lo and behold all of the cabins available matched the booking site. So of course I tried again for different cruise dates and the same thing happened. Has anyone seen this? It is really strange. Here is an example category 9B was not available when I type in my VIFP number - when I leave the VIFP section blank it is available. I didn’t mix up different cruise dates. I stayed focused on the one cruise at a time.

If it was a third party site, they've likely booked a block of rooms as an agency.  VIFP rates do not generally apply in this case.

A lot ofttimes, certain types of promotions don’t show all the available cabins either. That’s why I like to talk to my PVP,  she can tell me all the available cabins that I can’t see.

I understand that. I was trying to explain how I found the difference initially. The discrepancy in available cabins was on Carnival’s website depending if I put in my number or not. That was what I found weird.

We must have been responding at the same time. I did not know a PVP could do that. I know that can’t bring up an expired discount code. Thanks.

Lol I just book whatever is the best I see. I guess I'm not picky. I kinda wanted to price out spa cabins when there was that special last week, but there were none. This week there are but the price is gone. I took a nicely located port hole cabin on dream. I was wondering why only 2 port holes left for way out jan 2024 but I guess some got my offer and others got casino offers. We have a growing roll call.
