Two Carnival lines introduce new price promise in the UK
Skift Take
Since the specifics of packages can vary so widely, pricing promises in the travel are always hard to keep. Carnival needs to make sure its new "Vantage" fares fulfill the promise of simple pricing rather than complicate matters with another price tier.
P&O Cruises and Cunard have introduced a new pricing structure which includes a “price promise” guarantee on all cruises.
Complete Cruise Solution, the sales arm of Carnival UK, believes the move will encourage early booking and allow agents to guarantee that like-for-like prices will not be undercut at a later date.
