loveysbydesign Posted March 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just saw this new sale posted and was wondering how I find out which cruises this applies to and also if it works for families of 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasey Posted March 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just saw this new sale posted and was wondering how I find out which cruises this applies to and also if it works for families of 5? Sometimes it's just easier to click on the Carnival promotion and do a mock booking. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted March 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2012 And as a general rule Carnival sales are anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenanny Posted March 7, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2012 And as a general rule Carnival sales are anything but. I absolutely agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted March 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Carnival is always having a "SALE" :rolleyes: but it seems like the Early-Saver Promotion Rate is always a better price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted March 7, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2012 And as a general rule Carnival sales are anything but. Unless you are a person who does not book early saver (too restrictive) and past guest rates aren't available, and you don't qualify for any other special rates (military, senior, resident rates, etc). For a first time booker (is that even the right word :confused:), the sales can sometimes be a good deal. With any large purchase, comparison is key and all viable options should be evaluated.

Carnival_Brides Posted March 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The "sale" is only good for cruises in April and May 2012--it's in the terms and conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clancy123 Posted March 7, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well, I saved a total of $150 going from military rate to the current sale. I did not book early saver rate and did not think I could get a rate reduction because we sail on Memorial Day, the "offical" start of summer.

westcruzer Posted March 8, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2012 And as a general rule Carnival sales are anything but. Most of the time the early saver beats all sales. Now if you are not a past guest and don't have early saver option THEN the sale might help you. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlisa Posted March 8, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You never know with these rates. I called carnival to see about upgrading to a balcony for my April sailing and was looking at a resident rate. The representative I was talking to found the more the merrier rate and it was cheaper than the resident rate. I know the rate I am now booked at was cheaper than the ES rate ever was because I booked early saver originally and have been price watching dilligently to see if I could upgrade. I couldn't view this particular rate online though, I had to call the 1800#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrpai Posted March 11, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Can someone even explain this "merrier" promotion to me? Maybe I'm dense because frankly I don't get it. What's new about the concept of booking 4 people in 1 room instead of 2 in one and 2 in the other. How is this a "limited" time only? Confused..

Familyfuncruise ! Posted March 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The rates havent really changed. I am already booked with 4 and the price is the exact same as it has been since the "leap year sale" I have been keeping an eye on the rates so I check it daily and the price is the exact same as it has been for the last two weeks, I really wouldnt call it a sale.

You're not confused...you're just smarter than Carnival ;). You ALWAYS get a break for the 3rd and 4th guests in a stateroom and based on the searches I have done, there is NO additional savings.

chrpai Posted March 12, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2012 A really cool sale would be 4 people in 2 cabins for the ES price of 4 people in 1 cabin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted March 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've seen "More the Merrier" referring to bookings where all the beds are full (i.e. cabin for 4/4 passengers). any empty beds (4 beds/3 passengers) would not qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jks336 Posted March 12, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 12, 2012 And as a general rule Carnival sales are anything but. In this case it is cheaper at least for my cruise coming up as i DO check daily lol hopeing for that obc. just before this was higher, around 100 if i remember right. we have 3 in our balcony. it's still 10.00 more than what we paid so no obc for us lol.

Maticus22 Posted March 12, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I will be booking the May 6th Magic Cruise next week, and the More the Merrier sale puts a Balcony for 4 people (me, DW,DS, DSF) cheaper than a oceanview :) and is still cheaper than the original price for us to go inside the following week to Bahamams.
