    September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    So I was looking at the prices to see if they have dropped or not and they have.  So now I am waiting for Carnival to contact me to see if we get a free upgrade/on board credit.  I'll gladly take the free upgrade as high as we can go and just not worry about the on board credit.  Of course I will take whatever they give me.

    Has anyone ever submitted one of these forms?  If so, how long did it take back to hear from Carnival?

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    I booked our cruise with the early saver plan. I checked a month ago and found the price dropped $25 per person. I sent an e-mail to Carnival asking for a ship credit for the difference. About 2 or 3 days later I got an e-mail from them showing my final payment was reduced by $50. I was really please with this outcome. I know they will get the $50 back while we are on board but at least we can spend it being refreshed!

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    Well I just noticed the price drop and I have been checking.  There is also a 2 level upgrade which I would love to get even more then the on board credit.  I will let you know what they do in time; hopefully I hear something within the next day or two.

     I booked through travel agent, so would I need to contact her about on board credit or upgrade.  This is my first cruise so I have lots of questions when I see something I'm not sure of.

    Debbie, First become a VIP ( Only 10 cruises ), next get your own PVP from carnival direct, then shoot for unobstructed suites on the Verandah deck. Many prices are not even published, you will find out how suite ( sweet ) life is... enjoy.

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    Oh trust me I am shooting for my 10th!!  But I have to work too....LOL  I already have three booked for this year which will put me at 9 so I have one more to book and take and I hit my 10. 

    How do you get your own PVP with Carnival?  I usually use mine through AAA, but for this cruise I booked right through Carnival. 

    To the other poster...sorry didn't notice your name I would contact your PVP since that is who booked your cruise.

     Silly question, but my cruise is out of Mobile it leaves on the 29th.  That cruise as been removed from Carnival's main page.  How do I find out if there has been a price change?

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    Congratulations... You are almost a VIP, I think by 2010 you will be a full VIP. Now if you wish to talk to my PVP at Carnival I will be very happy to provide her info, just ask.

    This price game is very intricate and there are many prices for the same cruise. Carnival have a post booking suite sales group, I don't think they are even advertised. Usually you will hear from them closer to sail date offering highly discounted suite rates if available, in my opinion these are vest values not the most cheap.

    Here is a preview of Suite # 7270 in Triumph where I most recently stayed: Black marble entry way leading to a large mirrored bed room. Bathroom have Jacuzzi hot tub, a vanity area, large flat screen TV, and a private deck twice as large. Mood enhancing night light and private music channels. Much larger space. The difference is so great that it is very hard to get back to a balcony room. The best thing in Triumph is the seaside theatre. Hope this excite you to be a suite sailor and after that there is no going back. Best.

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    Nathan... my best guess is that the ship is sold out. There is no question of price change when a ship is sold out. Best

    Re: September 12 -- Price Drop!!

    Well I got my two level upgrade and OBC...the OBC isn't much but I'll take it. I'm going to keep watching too who knows.

    Yea I can't wait to go on the Triumph.  With going at Christmas prices aren't cheap so we booked inside.  Waiting to see if they go down or not so that we can move to the outside.

    If you booked through Carnival call and ask. It's an 800 number and you have 2 days left? My PVP gets a call from me every few days to check the military rate and/or to reduce my cruise again. It is great that this can be done.

    I love these boards...I have learned so much!!  It took two days for me to get a reply.  Once I got a email back from Carnival...I called them and got another cabin assignment and I will have a small OBC, but heck I will take it!  Now I'm watching it to see if it comes down anymore or if there is a chance to upgrade again.

    Enjoy!

    Debbie  I think you are going to like the Triumph.  We were on it for our 40th anniversary.  It is an older ship but well kept up.  It is going into drydock before it goes over to NO.  Don't know if you will be on before upgrades, but you will still enjoy the ship.
