takevtr1 Posted March 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Carnival has a new sale going on right now. Friends and family past guest sale. We are sailing on the Valor. 3 questions: 1 - we are currently book on the resident rate, which is no longer available. But switching to the new past guest one will save us about $50pp. Would it be worth our TA's time to re-book us under this new rate? Would you think there may be more price drops under this new rate? 2- we have 5 cabins booked, one cabin is a non-past guest. Do you think they would be able to take advantage of this sale as the rest of us are P.G. I think the new sale would put us on different decks. Right now we have 5 cabins on the Riviera deck, but the new rates I think would bump us up to the main deck. 3- the main deck is right under the lobby deck and the dining room and main showroom is righ above. Are we going to have approblem with noise from above. Thanks very much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also why we book Early Saver, and accept the restirctions of it. 2. Someone in the cabin has to be a past guest to get the rate, not just someone in the group. 3. Our preference is decks with cabins above and below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takevtr1 Posted March 19, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 19, 2013 ok thanks Deedle, that is kind of what I was thinking. Would you know if this "sale (friends and family)" has any price drop protection to it??? My resident had, and I got about 3 drops over the last several weeks, now that rate is no longer shoiwng as available, only the new "sale" rate of friends and family.

Midwestgal Posted March 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Why don't we ever qualify on all these sales? Is it because we have an OS? It's been the same price since we booked in January.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie05 Posted March 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2013 If you rebook - you could switch people around so past guest in all rooms then switch rooms once on board. People do this all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
