siestakeys04 Posted September 24, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Where do you find all of these webpages with the price drops?? I do a mock booking of the same category I'm in and compare prices of my cruise to the mock one. If its cheaper I call and get the price drop.

tobancruiser Posted September 24, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Oops sent to quick and can't delete. Anyway if I raise my rate but get the $50obc which overall would save us $40, if we get another drop later we lose the obc, is that right? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk To my knowledge, you keep the obc....we have in the past when we have been lucky enough to score some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinboro cruiser Posted September 25, 2014 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Friends of mine called today and we're told from now on they gave to do the on line form like everybody else has to do starting in Oct. I emailed my PVP and asked her about people who use vacation planners. She just responded we have to do the form now. Are they phasing out planners? If they can't do anything for you why use one?

momof3cruisers Posted September 26, 2014 #30 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Booked in January on the breeze under ES and came across a promotion today!!! Thought it wouldn't hurt to call my PVP and I lucked out .... Everything in my booking stayed the same but saved 400.00 on my fare and scored a 50 OBC yea!!! Sent from my iPad using Forums That is huge! How exciting! I love price drops and was excited about just the $50 I got recently. There is currently a sale through Oct 5th that has some really good rates, so check your sailings, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Don't know, but mine still says to call her. She doesn't like the online form because sometimes it approves your price drop, but then still doesn't give you the rate you were matching. She just took care of one for me last week in literally three minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorchinsky Posted September 26, 2014 #35 Share Posted September 26, 2014 We've taken advantage of quite a few price drops for our Thanksgiving cruise. I got one last night with the Cruise n Choose promo (which ended yesterday) and this morning got another price drop with the Sail from Florida and Save again. I'm loving all these price drops. I never thought we would have any. Hopefully they will keep coming. Also, I have just filled out the form and had the approval within an hour.

wrcjr98 Posted September 26, 2014 #38 Share Posted September 26, 2014 still new to this site what does es stand for and pvp stand for I booked my cruise directly through carnival and see theree is a price drop on it now how do I see about capitalizing on it Hi! Welcome! I'm married to an Air Force guy, and all he does is talk in abbreviations that I don't understand, then, I come on here, and there's even more abbreviations that I don't understand! Thankfully, there is a chart here to help people like me out! I found it by searching the site - http://boards.cruisecritic.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_reading_posting#faq_acronyms Unfortunately, it doesn't have ES or PVP so I really didn't answer your question did I? Sorry! Hope the chart helps though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ncovert Posted September 26, 2014 #39 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) still new to this site what does es stand for and pvp stand for I booked my cruise directly through carnival and see theree is a price drop on it now how do I see about capitalizing on it ES = Early Saver PVP = Personal Vacation Planner (Carnival sales people) Have you made final payment? I assume you are asking for the Miracle? So you would have needed to book Early Saver? Which promotion did you book under?

unleashed180 Posted September 26, 2014 #41 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I booked way back in january for october 4 and they had a $5o dollar deposit per person running other than that I cant remember if there was any other promotion running and it has been paid in full since july Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booking in January I would think you most likely did. If you did they will most likely ask you to fill out a price reduction form from their website. If it were me I would keep them on the phone and try to see if they could do it for me right then because I have read about lots of people who submit and are denied and then call and get approved and this would skip the denied and call back time.

TakeMeAway1001 Posted September 28, 2014 #46 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's definitely worth the few minutes it takes to double check, I check rates once a day and so far have over $500 in OBC due to price drops :) I am pretty excited since this is by far the most I have ever received.
