Early Saver Question and On Board Credit

[kleibo]

I booked my Father (single) on the Ectasy in September for $618 for an Oceanview

 

Then in October (around 10/5 or 10/6) Carnival was having a sale for 50% reduced deposit and $50 on board credit – his fare went down a little as well. So after that sale he was at $598 with $50 on board credit. The price difference ($618 to $598) just lowered the cash due at Final Payment.

 

Now there is a sale where he can pay $558.00. Since he is an Early Saver, I know he will get the reduced rate, but will he be able to keep the $50 on-board credit from the October Sale or will he lose that. If he loses it, it would not be worth it correct, because he would only end up with a $40 onboard credit ($598-$558).

 

How do I know if he will lose the current ($50) On-Board credit or not?

 

Thanks All.

HE will lose the $50 OBC unless the new rate also includes a $50 credit

He would lose the OBC. And actually have a net loss of $10 if my math is correct.

 

Sometimes a price drop is not worth it, if it means losing an OBC when matching to a sale that doesn't offer one.

OK - just wanted to double check - not worth the switch - thanks much.
