Located above the graphic toward &amp;nbsp;the right is a small box &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Check Specials&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; - check this box and check the box for &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Past Guest&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; in the dropdown menu.&amp;nbsp; Continue to Search for the cruise you booked - when it comes up, you should see &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Past Guest&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; rates line below the other two rates lines SUPER SAVER and LET CARNIVAL CHOOSE.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If no Past Guest rates are shown then there aren&amp;#39;t any being offered for that cruise (yet) - &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be unusual to see any promo rates for a cruise out as far as 2010 yet. The Past guest discount (and 55+ and residene and military rates) aren&amp;#39;t offered all the time for all cruises - they&amp;#39;re offered when sales are lagging to encourage booking. They may come and go. I wouldn&amp;#39;t expect Past Guest rates til maybe 9 or 10 months from sailing. When you find a good rate you can ask your TA to switch you over to it - some TA&amp;#39;s will do this others won&amp;#39;t or will charge you. ken&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Past Guest Discount Question</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/128815.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:08:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:128815</guid><dc:creator>VA_Cruiser</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/128815.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13065&amp;PostID=128815</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;not all cruises offer the past guest discount.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; so you just have to keep checking the prices and see if or when a past guest discount is offered so you can call and see if applies to your cabin and would save you money.&amp;nbsp; (prices for cruises go up and down all the time.)&amp;nbsp; a lot of the time... the past guest offer is an upgrade in the cabin... &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Past Guest Discount Question</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/128804.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:59:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:128804</guid><dc:creator>calscotsgran@hotmail.com</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/128804.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13065&amp;PostID=128804</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi - I&amp;#39;m booked for my second Carnival cruise on the Dream in April 2010.&amp;nbsp; I am reading over on the &amp;#39;Dream&amp;#39; section that the past guest and mililtary discounts haven&amp;#39;t been given yet.&amp;nbsp; Does anyone know for a fact that we aren&amp;#39;t getting the past guest discounts when we have already booked through a travel agent in July?&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m not sure where to look for this answer so I&amp;#39;m hoping Carnival staff (Stephanie?) will see this and respond.&amp;nbsp; This isn&amp;#39;t for military discounts - only past guest discounts.&amp;nbsp; Thanks. &lt;img src="http://www.carnivalconnections.com/emoticons/emotion-7.gif" alt="Tongue Tied" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
