what is the uk policy on price drops??

[olibubble]

I booked a med cruise in the uk on the phone line.

when i booked we paid £551 per person for an inside guarantee.

just went on now, and the prices are:

inside £449
outside £499
balcony £699.

does this mean we can upgrade to a balcony for £148 pp?

or to an inside and get OBC?

not sure on the uk system!

Hi

I do not think anyone including RCI UK is 100% sure what the policy is in the UK now

The best thing to do is to phone RCI UK and hope for the best but expect the worst :mad:
try phoning at 2 different times as you usual get 2 different answers

I would guess you will be told that the prices you see are for "new bookings only" or "you are on a different code"
But it only takes a phone call to find out

we were on Adventure last October, we booked the cruise on the January (a GS) and 2 weeks before we were due to cruise the price dropped significantly, i phoned the TA and £775 was deposited in our bank 2 days later., we are going again on 15th September on Adventure same cabin and i keep checking but to date no price drops. all you can do is phone and ask xxx

Very nice that's a fair drop in price :)

I am not sure you will be so lucky this year as a HOST on here posted that
in May they changed the rules in regards to price drops in the UK

I hope the Host and I are wrong and you manage to get another good price drop :)

Many posts on UK price drops. The usual line is that it is for new bookings only. You can of coarse rebook and loose your deposit and perhaps your selected cabin. Been there done it and got the t-shirt
