Default Booking Early Saver and future price reductions

HI, I am curious, if you book ES willl you be able to get future price reductions in on board credits. If NCL has a sale will I be able to get involved in the sale if I am booked ES? Please tell me how you can get future price drops and how to book. Thanks and I hope it makes sense!!!!!

Early Saver is a Carnival promotion, not NCL.

You can get any CARNIVAL price. If you booked thru a TA you contact them, if booked thru Carnival, you submit the form yourself.

I read on another post if you book a "fun fair" you will not receive any price reductions should they happen after you book. That is why I am wondering which way to book. Does every way you book allow you to get the fair reduction?????

No, if you book under any other rate, Carnival will not honor price reductions after the final payment deadline.

If you book Early Saver with Carnival, and anytime up to two days before sailing, a lower price is available (for which you are eligible) for the same cabin category, same number of people, same sailing, you fill out the form on the site and they will match the price.

If it is before final payment, you will most likely get a reduction. If it is after final payment, you will get the difference in the form of OBC.

Keep in mind that the ES rate deposit is non-refundable, and name changes are not allowed. If for some reason you need to cancel or change date/ship, etc- you will lose $50 and the remainder of your deposit will be held to be applied to another booking.

Thank you, that is what I was looking for!
