TVanTuyl Posted January 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am on a Princess cruise in April and am curious if prices ever drop in the period of time after the 90 days mark when payments have to be in by and prior to departure? I've seen other people posting about decreases and was just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Price drops after final payment are usually for new bookings only. However, it can't hurt to call your TA and ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Prices drop all the time after you make final payment. But most of the time that price drop is not for you. They are trying to fill a ship that you are already booked on. They are not going to give you a price reduction for something you already signed up for. They are trying to get more people to sign up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVanTuyl Posted January 22, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks folks, I was watching it before my final payment and it never changed so I wasn't sure if I should keep watching. I guess it never hurts to pay attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8tor Posted January 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If you do notice a price drop after final payment you might not be eligible for the lower price since you're already booked on the cruise. HOWEVER, you might be eligible to switch to a higher category for the price you've already paid or for the difference between the price you paid and the new lower prices of higher categories. It never hurts to ask!!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeyvanb Posted January 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Last July our Alaskan cruise dropped 2 weeks before sail and I called Princess and they were nice enough to refund my credit card. I had booked directly with Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
