&lt;p&gt;Has any one noticed how Carnival deeply discounts the cabins the closer it gets to sail date?&amp;nbsp; I booked my reservation over a year ago thinking that I was going to get a great deal!&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;WRONG&lt;/strong&gt;!!!!!!!!!&amp;nbsp; The rates are $250 less now than what I paid.&amp;nbsp; When I called Carnival to inquire...they offered me an upgrade.&amp;nbsp; The upgrade is three decks higher than what I requested but it is just a higher view of the water.&amp;nbsp; The cabins are the same size...no extra amenities no balcony...nothing worth $250 and the current rate for that cabin is still less than what I paid a year ago!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a regional revenue manager in the hotel industry.&amp;nbsp; I certainly know that desperate times call for desperate measures. But I would never treat a guest in one of my hotels the way I have been treated by Carnival Cruise Lines.&amp;nbsp;I would certainly honor the&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;published rate&amp;quot; if they&amp;nbsp;brought it to my attention! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I will never use Carnival again in planning my vacation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fascination vs. Fantasy</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/384638.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:37:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:384638</guid><dc:creator>TopKat</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/384638.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=16133&amp;PostID=384638</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;We took our first cruise this year out of Jacksonville on the Fascination and had the time of our lives!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We live in Alabama and I&amp;#39;m trying to plan our next trip for next April (wedding anniversary);&amp;nbsp;looking at the Fantasy, which will be departing from Mobile.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anyone has been on both of these&amp;nbsp;ships, I&amp;#39;m wondering if they are similar and/or if we&amp;nbsp;will enjoy the Fantasy as much as we enjoyed our first trip on the Fascination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any opinions here?&amp;nbsp; Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
