I only checked the cruise I'm on and all the upgrades are gone.The Promo Code is PFF.I'll just wait and keep checking to see if the price goes down before we sail.

I just checked my e-mail and it told me the code was DP3!? Which is correct?

That's the past guest code..PFF is just a current promotion.

I recieved an e-mail this morning from my PVP. He said use DP3 for the current promotion.

E-mail Sanitized below:

"Introducing our FUN4ALL.(SM) So what's a FUN4ALL, anyway? you ask. It's your chance to save big time; and ours, to see you on one of our ships again soon. To get in on great freebies, just book your Carnival Cruise by January 23, and you'll get a Past Guest Discount PLUS a FREE^* Upgrade. Use Fare Code DP3. Call --------, your Personal Vacation Planner, at ------------- ext.----- to get started."

OK, so maybe I'm wrong. I just opened the email, skimmed it, and then deleted it. I know it said DP3, but maybe I'm not thinkin of the right promotion. What I'm thinkin of is the "past guest plus upgrade" promo..is this what the op is referring to?

That's the one I got, too. I knew I wasn't crazy...:p

[SouthernCaribbean]

That's not what it says on their website..maybe the pricing/upgrades/perks are the same

Rates for my Victory cruise are back down a little, using DP3. But I booked using P1S when it was out there and got a 4A upgrade to 4G at $549 and also got a $200 per person decrease on Miracle! :D

 

That sale code was the ONLY one that has EVER given me a lower rate PLUS several category upgrade.

 

Looking at PFF, all within a given category are the same price (so, technically, it's like getting an upgrade IF you want the higher level).

 

Using PFF - all Cat 4s are $719

Using DP3 - Cat 4 has 2 level upgrade, so to get the "top" Cat 4 cabin, you would have to book a 4E and be upgraded to 4G - at $689 pp.

Using B(est) - 4A starts at $719

 

So, for people who are NOT past guests, it looks pretty good. Of course, the vast majority of us ARE past guests, so most of these sales don't do much for us. I don't know why everyone gets so bent out of shape when they don't give them a huge discount by using the sale codes. The sale codes are meant to entice first-time cruisers. We're already getting good rates and upgrades!
