Question on Price Checking

[CruiseCrazy4U]

I am new to cruising... I originally booked a Balcony Guarantee but a few weeks ago was upgraded during the "sale" to 8I. Now when I call and check the pricing with Carnival, they are comparing what I paid vs. what the current rate is for 8I.

 

Is this correct? I would think that price reductions would be based on my original booking of Balcony Guarantee rather than current cabin assignment.

 

Please help...

Yes, that is correct. If you want a price reduction, you can go back to an 8A if you would like... otherwise, you are not in an 8A, so they won't base it on that... you are now in an 8I, and had you booked that, you would have paid more... if you are more concerned about the price reduction, just tell them you want to go back to a guarantee and get the reduced price instead.. they should have no problem with that.
