Price drop, but not on Carnival's site

[CruisinCandy10]

This may be a dumb question. But, I was on a cruise vacation site and noticed that my Sept. 4th Celebration cruise is being advertised about $140.00pp cheaper than what we paid. I booked directly through CCL. Will I have a leg to stand on by calling CCL and asking for OBC? Or does the price drop have to be on Carnival's webiste.

Thanks, Candy

P.S. If you think I have a chance at OBC...any tips on how to go about asking.

First, did you make sure all fees are included in the other site? Sites are not allowed to advertise a lower price than Carnival, so I would make sure you are comparing apples to apples ;)

Good point, I have often found that unless you go through the entire process at these sites right up to actually booking, the rates may not reflect all of the fees and taxes.
