Около года назад мы забронировали круиз с компанией Карнивал (через онлайн агенство, но это не важно), по программе Early Saver.
Я не особенно обратила внимание на то, что из себя представляет программа, кроме того, что в случае отмены круиза даже за > 70 дней мы потеряем депозит, зато они гарантируют понижение стоимости Вашего круиза вплоть до 48 часов до отплытия если цена на криуиз опустится.

В некотором смысле рулетка, конечно, но может быть кого-то и заинтересует, а может быть уже есть бронь по этой программе, но правила не читал, как я.
