Thanks for the response. My reservation was made in November 2022 and final payment is due tomorrow. I thought the within 48 hours was only if booking was made after the typical final payment date?
I copied the below language I found on Celebrity's website. Are OBCs/promotions considered part of the prevailing cruise fare? I would think Celebrity would specify that rather than just state Celebrity will reduce cruise fare to a available prevailing cruise fare. I would still be better off getting the price reduction (with a reduction in OBC) than keeping my current pricing, but I am not convinced they should be changing the original OBC based on the best price guarantee wording for price changes occurring before final payment date.
For a request submitted on or before the due date of final payment, the following applies:
Request for a Lower Cruise Fare:
Celebrity will reduce cruise fare to available prevailing cruise fare. If full payment has been made, a refund will be issued.
Request to Add or Change an Added Value Offer
Celebrity will 1) apply an Added Value Offer to booking and 2) go to prevailing eligible cruise fare
NOTE: If either the new cruise fare or Added Value Offer is not combinable with any promotion associated with the existing booking, or changes are being made outside of promotional booking window, the existing promotion will be removed from the booking. No refund or exchange will be given on a promotion offer (added value)
NOTE: an Added Value Offer refers to an amenity added to your booking, such as an onboard credit, specialty dining, shore excursion, etc.
For a request submitted after the due date of final payment AND the booking is within 48 hours from creation, the following applies:
