took your advice and called about obc for price reduction

[pocoehonda]

Just called my TA and asked if the price of the cruise had gone down since I booked. He said it had. 69.00 per person credit. He said that they usually put it back on credit card.? Is this normal? I don't care personally. However, I prefer that it was an OBC so I wont spend it before Nov. HAHA

My PVP told me that up to final payment date (75 days out) it would be a credit on my credit card and after that it is OBC.

$69 per person is well worth a phone call.

[pocoehonda]

I am paid in full. Leave Nov 6th. I was shocked when he said 69.00 per person. I had never called before. I have been booked since begining of July. Thank you for your replies. I have really learned alot on this forum.:)

Good for you...enjoy using every penny!:)

 

Yes, if you find a lower price before final payment, they will deduct that amount from your final payment.

 

If you see the lower price after final payment, it should result in an OBC.

I was surprised that Carnival re-fared my booking. I got a credit on my cc instead of an OBC.

My cruise was 40 days out and i used an online TA. Price reduction of $42.

I also booked Nov 6 My ta said i would lose my room r 68 on Ecstasy. He said i would get my room at ship on that day and no telling were they would put me.So i just keep the room and not the 69.00 and thats for the both of us. cindy

they usually only put it back on the credit card if you havent made final payment yet. All other times i've gotten it in OBC.

Dh and I cruised in September.

just through watching prices fall, we got upgraded from inside cabin to balcony on the Lido deck.... and over $120 OBC.

It was a great result, and Carnival always honored price drops happily.

CARNIVAL ROCKS!!!:)

I think when you book a "guarantee catagory" that is what happens. If you didn't book a guarantee room, and had a room assignment from the date of booking, then your TA is wrong.

We were offered an upgrade from 4c to a 5a ( obstructed view looking at life boats ), plus the OBC. Well I took the OBC but just kept the same 4c but changed cabins from 6110 to 6271. The OBC wasnt alot but hey $20pp is still 20pp. That pays for one of us at the Supper Club one night.

The only people they do not give OBC when the price falls is to people who are crusing as a group, which I don't think is fair, but they have their rules.
