cruisin fannins Posted May 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi, I am booked on the Imagination May 18 and the price has dropped by $69 per person on Carnival's website. What are my options on requesting OBC for the refund amount or will they do this? Even though it is probably because of the flu, I hope they would still uphold a policy on this matter. Thanks!

poobears Posted May 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Are you booked early saver? If not you might get an upgrade but no OBC this late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted May 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I hope they would still uphold a policy on this matter The policy is, no OBC for any price drops after final payment date, unless you are booked under Early Saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The policy is, no OBC for any price drops after final payment date, unless you are booked under Early Saver. the "new" policy of no OBC for price drops (except early saver) started 12/1/08. If you cant get OBC, if there is a higher priced cabin that now matches what you paid, they will allow you to upgrade to that cabin. You may have to call in twice, but they should give it to you, if there is such a cabin and its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken076 Posted May 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2009 the WHY doesn't matter. If you're booked Early Saver you should submit the Price Adjustment Request form (if you booked with Carnival) or have your TA do so if you booked via TA. If you're not booked Early Saver then you cannot get a price adjustment as your after the Final Payment Deadline, but you can call to see if they'll give you an upgrade. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsenbiz Posted May 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2009 We could not get the OBC either for the fare decrease. We did get an upgrade, though. It's too bad, because Carnival is offering $50 OBC with a promo now, and I can't access that either. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their policy changed as of 12/01/08. Unless you have booked the Early Saver rate, you won't get the reduced rate. They stopped doing OBC and reductions after final payment. With Early Saver, you can get reduction credit up to 2 days prior to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you before final payment?? Thats the only reason I can think of they would issue the refund like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaKrznNubie Posted May 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Are you before final payment?? Thats the only reason I can think of they would issue the refund like that. According to the posters signature, their cruise isn't until late July, so they should be just before final payment due date, must have already paid it off however.
