teaach Posted August 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I booked a casino rate aft balcony for September 2012 on the Glory out of NYC. The regular balcony rate has dropped for past guests and there are no balcony afts available at this late date. Can I get a reduction in the form of OBC?

Alliezona09 Posted August 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not if you booked the casino rate~ the *only* rate that gets OBC for price reductions is early saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annf Posted August 30, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2012 They will upgrade your rooom but not give you the OBC with the casino rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FnyFACEnAL Posted August 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Casino Rate is a mailing from CCL directed to folks who spent a good deal of time in their casino on a past cruise. Early Saver Rates are often lower as the cruise nears as is the case of our upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates are plummenting now due to Issac, and there are just some super deals out there right now. Upgrade now if you can before people forget this hurricane and start booking again. A hurricane always scares the heck out of people who might have been ready to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didnt have 2 weeks already booked this month ... I would so be jumping on these rates.. senior and others are just as low.. they are obviously getting lots of cancellations.

jen&samcantwait Posted August 30, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2012 In my case, everytime ES goes down, Casino rate does too. I'm before final payment, so getting price drops, but my PVP explained to me, even after final payment at the casino rate, I would get the OBC. He has never steered me wrong, so OP, if I were you, I would look into it!!! I have reduced $45 pp so far, and waiting for him to call me back now for another $30 each. And this is all at the casino rate. We don't have anything left in our cat either, didn't last time, he cancelled & immediately rebooked us in same room at the cheaper rate, granted risky if someone else is looking for that cat at the same time..... it's all fun & games till you lose your aft. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen&samcantwait Posted August 30, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What is casino rate and where do you see it? In our case, we didn't get the mailing, our PVP called us with it, and can also see it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
