Dealers Choice Rates

[Gma&Gpa]

I am now receiving the offer for Dealers Choice Rates.  The rates themselves are better than what we usually pay on Early Saver.  Are there any other benefits to booking under this rate?

I like that they generally also include Drinks on us(while playing in the casino) and also some free casino play.

Keep in mind that all casino rates carry a non refundable deposit. It's not like Early Saver where you only lose $50 as penalty and the rest deposit becomes FCC. You lose it all.

good point on the non refundable deposit.   I'll have to take a close look at it to see if it's worth it. Thanks for that input

Most of the casino rates I see require a $200. deposit, per cabin, but is returned as OBC. I  the need to cancel once due to my production schedule change. I called Carnival direct to cancel and rebook. The agent told me the $200. would be forfeited, but because I was rebooking they would only take $50. The taxes were returned in full. I was very happy. A few days later I received an Email that the $50. would also be returned because they canceled the cruise for everyone. I was delighted. I booked four more cruises, but they were all canceled. I am thinking I should paint "Panorama" on the bow of my kayak and paddle down the channel past the cruise port to get some "sea" time.

In my case, we have a cruise set for October of this year, (under Early Saver) - but I'm feeling there is a good chance it will be cancelled.  The same cruise goes out next March, so I'm hoping that if it IS cancelled, I can just book the new one.  I should have the money that I've already paid  (which is nearly paid off) to transfer to the new one.  But was wondering if we could get the Dealers Choice rate, which is actually showing as a little LESS than we paid

You can always book with the Dealers Choice rate as long as you still have it. It should tell you when you have to book by.
