WOW! I am shocked! I called buycruises.com today and they quoted me a price for Conquest Oct 12 of $630 per person which is more than they have it for on their website??

Crucon.com quoted $651 again more than stated on their website.

Carnival quoted $682 and I reminded her that I could get him as a past cruiser for $549??

icruise.com on the phone quoted me $760 at first until I reminded her of the pay for an inside and get an outside if booked by the end of this month. She didn't seen to know much about that but checked with some one and came back and gave me a price of $631.I told her I could get it online for $575 including all taxes. Whoops, she was NOT a happy camper and suggested that I should book it online then.(she was nice about it though)

What really surprised me was not one of these agents mentioned the Carnival buy an inside and get FREE upgrade to outside,outside to balcony.etc???I would think this would be a MAJOR thing and that all agents would be well acquainted with it and push it to the limit??

HIGH hotel prices in New Orleans also during Oct. I gather that must be a BIG convention month?? I may have to rethink this Sept thing?
