Early Saver Rates - too risky?

[sailgurl]

Has anyone else heard about those new Early Saver rates Carnival is advertising? They're giving "up to 30% off" if you put a deposit down X amount of time before the cruise. The bad part is that the deposit is non-refundable. Anyone out there do this yet? I guess it's not a big deal as long as you are definitely going...but I like to book cruises a year out and "see what happens" sometimes - know what I mean?

I guess that started after we paid our down payment, as we were 430 some odd days before cruise. And our 34 other friends. No 30% savings tho

I think that this is a great idea on Carnival's part. They're basically rewarding those that know they want to book a Carnival cruise and actually end up going. Also, it's going to reduce the number of people that just book cruises on speculation, holding up the cruise line's space.

I think that the Early Saver rates are really great. You save a nice amont f money by booking them. But use caution when booking because Carnival doesn't refund any deposits on cancellations of such reservations, plus A $50 service fee may be charged per person for ship and/or sail date changes made prior to the final payment due date (besides any normal fees that are charged otherwise.

Sounds fair to me: pay a lower price when you commit to the cruise more than just putting a refundable deposit.

I've booked an earlysaver rate for my cruise in Feb. I'm only a 5 hour drive to port, and I will be there a day early. I like the savings. I'd have to be dead to miss a cruise, and then I won't care.. lol
I always book way,way out so I can pay on the cruise in bits every payday. One thing I don't like is not being able to put some funds on my shipboard acct before I go. I've always done this with RCCL, but this is my first Carnival, and we picked this so we won't have to drive to Fla.
We will see...
