Carnival Legend cabin upgrades -- do the prices drop if you want until later?

Hello,

I have booked a basic cabin for a trip at the end of October on the
Carnival Legend. I'd really like a nice cabin with a balcony but am
wondering if they will drop the prices as the cruise approaches.
Should I wait and check on the upgrade price a week or two before
sailing? Should I wait until the sailing date? Or are the prices
basically set?

BTW: I do realize that waiting adds a risk I won't get the upgrade but
I'm just hemming over the price right now so want to know if there is a
chance it could be less than the current quote.

Thanks!

Prices may drop, but they will certainly rise (if that makes any
sense). There may be a drop after the penalty period kicks in,
depending on how many cancellations they get. But I wouldn't count on
it. And balconies are the least likely to cancel.

Maybe, but if you REALLLY want that balcony, you might want to book
it.

On our March 2006 cruise on the Splendour of the Seas, all they had
left were balconies, suites and a few interiors. That was 6 weeks
ago.


Thanks!
