You have to call Carnival (or your TA) direct to book this, we sail April 2 and I know I just started seeing rates available via sites like Kayak a few weeks ago from my location. People in bigger cities like Boston and NY apparently were able to actually book a few months ago! It depends on your airport code. I would call Carnival and ask them directly, they will give you rates and you could always price compare with another week tp get an idea of how good they are.

Thanks for the response. I had no luck when calling them even though I am in a major city in Canada. They said possibly in 1 more week. It appears you might have to wait 365 days or less from the cruise date to get prices through them. I'll try back at the end of this week. I am hoping their prices are better then what I am seeing. Right now Direct for me is $2600Cad or $1935USD for 2 people.

I booked our flights today to Barcelona. I choose the airlines I wanted to use (Delta/Air France) and the days and times I wanted- we arrive 3 days before our sailing and depart the day we return.

 

Carnival's price? $725 per person. The EXACT SAME FLIGHTS through Delta? $1395!!

 

I ran the same flights through some aggregators like Kayak, all of them were $1390 or more. I'm impressed!

 

Best part? These are flexible, and can be changed up to time of final payment if we find less expensive or more convenient flights without penalty.

 

Not sure if their domestic flights offer as great of deals but thought I'd post and share it's worth calling and asking about.

Do you mind confirming which dates you were looking at? I am on the April 29th, 2018 and can't even search that far out on some of the airline websites for flights to Barcelona. The idea that the price is great and the payment is not due and can be changed is making this sound quite attractive.
