We are actually booked on the following cruise as well. When we were on the Ruby recently we saw this cruise was on special and it worked out cheaper to cruise the 19 nights instead of flying to Singapore and staying in a hotel for a couple of days.....it was a no-brainer so we booked it when we were onboard.....we will be onboard to Tokyo.....33 nights.

Yes, lucky you can utilise those options.:D

Yes. Just got to convince the boss that I can have time off. :D

Thanks for including the Balcony price, that's tempting, even though I'm not a great Carnival fan.

Maybe they got lots of rooms left that can only accommodate 2 and a few that can hold 4.

Most likely, this way people (with 4 in their group) are more likely to get two cabins and fill the ship.:D

It's very tempting but have already been to New Caledonia this year. Super specials.

Yeah but now I'm cranky with you rkmw cause I've got to rearrange a couple of things by Friday night so I can book it, they are also a bit less if you book through Cruise Critic, looks like we'll save about $50.00

I guess Carnival feel that bums on seats is the way to go rather than hanging out for higher cabin price.

[Esilef]

It's a win for anyone whom can grab these bargains.

 

Shame about having to work & school commitments.

Normally it's because twin has been reduced. Quad hasn't.
