866-227-1888 helped me grab my first-ever Black Friday cruise deal. Carnival typically kicks off their sale a few days before Thanksgiving, but the best offers (at least from my experience) show up on the actual Black Friday through Cyber Monday stretch. I remember scrolling at midnight, seeing a crazy low fare, and calling right away to lock it in before it disappeared. The rep confirmed that cabins were going fast and helped me grab the exact stateroom I wanted. If you’re planning ahead, keep an eye on their early teasers — some of those “pre-Black-Friday” deals can be just as good.
