teachtocruis Posted October 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am considering a cruise that is very close to final payment date. What I'm wondering is what happens if the price drops after the final payment date? Can I get the discount, or on board credit? Just curious. Thanks, Teachtocruis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2cruiseanywhere Posted October 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If the cruise is very close to Final Payment, why not wait a little longer until after Final Payment to book your cabin. Sometimes the price will drop after Final Payment, but it is only for new bookings (and you would be a new booking). Just a thought. I like the new website where you can actually see how many cabins in each category are still available. It gives you a better idea of how well the cruise is selling.

waltd Posted October 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Normally No....As stated any price drop after final payment would be for new bookings. I have read that some have asked and were successful in getting money back but that is not the norm for Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch1 Posted October 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2013 On our last 2cruises the price actually went UP after final payment date.....just worth considering I have experienced this a few times as well.

sharbin1 Posted October 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2013 We've cruised twice on Princess this year and both times the price dropped after our final payment. There were still cabins vacant in our category so I called Princess and they honored the lower price and credited our credit card. Some of the other lines won't do this but Princess often will ... never hurts to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted October 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2013 My PVP told me that if you have Princess Insurance they honour the lower rate. Otherwise it's up to the PVP. Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted October 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2013 My PVP told me that if you have Princess Insurance they honour the lower rate. Otherwise it's up to the PVP. Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Forums mobile app That sounds really strange since it has nothing to do with insurance! I have had a refund after final payment... Of you can also ask for an upgrade. Check with your TA or call Princess if booked directly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Forums mobile app Not sure that's correct since for the first price drop we got we didn't have Princess insurance though we did for the second.

bahama-mama_11 Posted October 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Call your TA, I don't have insurance but I called my TA and told her I need her to fight on my behalf, she called princess and am in $100 extra. Am still going to spend it on the ship so they'll get it back just extra petty cash. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
