There's another post that mentions Carnival's Friends and Family sale. I agree that the prices are lower than I have seen in quite a while with this promotion.
If anyone out there has a Carnival booking made under the Early Saver promotiotion with the best fare protection you need to check your rates. Chances are the price on your booking has dropped and sometimes substantially! If that is the case you have until Friday to submit your claim to Canival to get them to adjust your rate. If your rate has dropped before final payment they will adjust the rate. If your rate has dropped after final payment you will be reimbursed with on board credit in the amount of the difference or an upgrade but most people go for the OBC.
If you booked through a travel agent call them and have them check. If you booked through a Carnival PVP you can bet they are not going to jump on the phone and tell you so either call them or price it yourself on the Carnival web site. You can submit an Early Saver price protection form yourself on the Carnival web site. Do NOT bother calling Carnival's reservations number unless you have a lot of time on your hands. Their hold times this week are up to 90 minutes and the recording says that "if your issue is not time sensitive, call next week". Really? Call next week?? Are you kidding me??? So much for customer service. :smack:
We T/A's get the same recording by the way. Besides, if you call next week, the low prices will be gone because the sale ends Friday so check your bookings as soon as you can!!
Good Luck!!!
