Carnival Offers Early-Booking Discounts of Up to $200

Carnival Cruise Lines is offering Early Saver rates providing savings of up to $200 per person on summer and fall cruises for those who book early. Early Saver rates are available up to three months prior to sailing date for cruises of five days or less and up to five months prior to sailing date for longer voyages.

The special fares include all stateroom types, including suites, and come with a rate protection feature if rates later drop below what the consumer originally paid. Early Saver rates are available on a wide variety of three- to 16-day cruises.

Early Saver rates start at $449 on seven-day Alaska cruises aboard the Carnival Spirit, $399 on seven-day Mexican Riviera voyages from Long Beach aboard the Carnival Splendor, $399 on seven-day Caribbean cruises aboard the Carnival Valor and Carnival Liberty, and $399 for five-day Atlantic Canada cruises from New York aboard the Carnival Triumph.

The Early Saver rate protection feature provides that if a lower Carnival advertised rate becomes available after the booking is made, a rate adjustment can be requested and the cruise line will issue the difference in the form of a non-refundable shipboard credit. Deposits on Early Saver bookings are non-refundable.
