Dani41 Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm excited about the deals. There is a video on the website :D Mexico here I come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Well, I am trying to find the deals. :rolleyes: Since last night the price of one of our cruises went up $300 and another that I was looking to book went up $150. Another, no sale for Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Again, another no sale! Here's hoping when they don't get bookings they want they will have a REAL sale. Had thought about booking another, but no way right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted November 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's looking like, on many of the major cruise lines, prices are better the farther out you book. From my understanding, many early bookers were annoyed (and early bookings began dropping as a result) because those that booked late got wayyyy better deals. Prices are now controlled by a computer program that change prices based on bookings and inventory. It's programed to price what the market will bear. :eek: We booked early last spring for winter 2016. Also booked this fall for spring of 2016. Since then there have not been any price drops and both cruises are up at least $250 pp and way up on the Spa and Serenity decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwardcabin Posted November 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Early Saver is now just that--book very early before prices start climbing. We haven't been able to file for a price drop since 2012. ...and this cyber sale? Looks like it's just the off-peak rates already available on the off-peak cruises. Go configure!

Dani41 Posted November 27, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I must admit I'm disappointed too. On Monday I believe there will be reduced deposits on cruises...but don't quote me on that. Maybe Monday things will look a little bit brighter for us. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani41 Posted November 27, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I booked a super bowl cruise in late October and was able to get a better deal right after I booked it but I lost my onboard credit doing so. It was my first time cruising and booking a cruise so I felt good about it. I'm going to book my next cruise for next years super bowl next month, and hope I can get some type of savings within a years time. I'm just excited about cruising for a second time...and leaving out of Nola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeafl Posted November 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Was hoping for a price reduction, but my cruise is the exact same price it has been for the past 5 months. So much for their "sale". They just slap a new name on the same price every time there's a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani41 Posted November 27, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted November 27, 2015 @ Jill I saw the same thing. The cruise I was eyeballing has been the same price all month long. I was hoping to see a price reduction too, but I'm going to just bite the bullet and book it since I'm eager to go on this particular cruise.

flips7 Posted November 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I agree another bull crap sale. ?Trying to get the suckers who hear sale and run to buy. The cruise I have been watching went up for this so called sale. Really disappointed!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just excited about cruising for a second time...and leaving out of Nola. I saved over $800 last year during Cyber Monday. I am not expecting to save $800 again but I have not been able to find a single price drop. This is not a sale. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turning40withMickey Posted November 29, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2015 No sale. No perks. No better than it has been for weeks. No booking for me. Maybe Monday will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 29, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Well Sunday's special is a disappointment! I can pick Cyber Sunday Special and pay $300 more than to have a $75 obc. Really!:rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfrazee Posted November 29, 2015 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I have three cabins booked for January and the "sale" price is $200.00 higher on each room. Took my wife shopping this weekend as I do every weekend and noticed the shirts in Aeropostale that were on sale last week for $8.00 were now on sale for $10.00. This week with the big black Friday sale they were marked up to $19.95 but marked down 50%. So, their sale was $2 more than last weeks. Everyone does this so I guess cruiselines are not exempt. I guess we've all learned CCL plays dirty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galleon1234 Posted November 29, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Carnival what are you doing?? Hope Cyber Monday brings something good! Steady increase in prices out of Galveston. You might as well cruise on RCCL which we prefer, but were happy to cruise on Carnival when there was a big fare savings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galleon1234 Posted November 29, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Are they already posted? Anyone know how much you need to put done when making an onboard past guest booking for a future cruise? No sure if it is better to buy the Verizon or the Carnival cards??

If there is no deal on gift cards as the above poster stated, then your best bet is to get them through Verizon/AARP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnaker190 Posted November 29, 2015 #19 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The cyber sunday sales are up on the Carnival website, No sales for the sailings I have been watching in January and may but hopefully ya'lls will be on their tho. Saw some decent balcony sales in January (in the 1400$ range) for a 7 day. Let's hope cyber monday is a door crasher haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are charging you and extra $134 and from that giving you an on-board credit of $75...and then sending $59 to the bottom line ...clearly it works or they wouldn't keep doing it!

riffatsea Posted November 29, 2015 #23 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The only cruises on sale are up until May 2016. We are already booked on our spring cruise and would have liked to see some for fall or next winter or spring 2017 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepenfun Posted November 29, 2015 #24 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So my cruise in April on the Splendor they jacked up the price of balcony rooms by $67 PER PERSON from what they were yesterday. so for 2 people (me and my wife) were talking $134 price increase. then they make it sound more enticing with a $75 PER STATEROOM credit. So increase the cost of the cruise by $134 then give you back $75 stateroom credit, this doesn't say per person, its per stateroom. So $134 - $75 = $59 extra cost for this cyber weekend deal over what it was yesterday and the last 2 months? Like i said in another thread about black Friday and cyber deals from carnival I'll stick with the Verizon 10% off carnival gift cards. That's free money.

Dani41 Posted November 29, 2015 Author #25 Share Posted November 29, 2015 For the "big" savings. Maybe tomorrow. I was going to surprise my fiance with booking the cruise we wanted to go on for the super bowl but... So far no luck. Its been the same price since we first started looking last month.
