cruise price reduction

[cas1000]

Having just finally booked our cruise with Royal caribbean at the end of November when I thought we were getting a good deal due to the early booking discount/ onboard credit deal running until the end of November and so mad today that RC are advertising 20% of prices and our cruise price has gone down £1400 which is a load of money. Am so annoyed - is there anything I can do about this - it just ethically seems wrong to encourage early booking before the end of Nov supposedly offering price incentives and then reduce the price by £1400 13 days later. We booked with an agent who said that the price is the price we booked and RC bookings basically said 'tough'. Is there anything I can do - this is our first cruise and I feel so mad has spoilt it already and feel totally taken advantage of as a RC customer

If you booked in the U.K., you MAY be able to cancel your current booking and rebook at the new price. You'll lose your deposit though. :o

Not sure how it works in the UK, but in the USA I just had similar happen to me. Booked and paid my cruise and 5 days later, the price dropped. I called Royal Caribbean, and the representative I spoke with upgraded my stateroom to the one at the current lower price. I went from an inside to an oceanview without paying anything additional.
