EmergencyPA Posted March 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Made final payment a couple of weeks ago for June cruise on Gem. Just before making payment called PCC and got a nice drop in price(in a suite). Made new final payment and did not check prices for cabin since, figure past final payment, happy with what I paid so now time to get ready to cruise. Yesterday out of the blue PCC calls and informs me of another price drop and adjusts cost of cruise and will be sending a refund check(tried to just make it OBC but said he couldn't ). This drop was twice as much as the first!! Still 90 days out, wonder what else might happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your PCC must be one of the good ones :) It also contradicts just about every other story of price drops where PCCs weren't allowed to "refund" money after final payment and would ONLY offer OBC equivalent to 25% of the price difference. Perhaps it has something to do with the suite, or with your status at NCL. Either way, it's still great to hear!

carribeansol Posted March 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2014 This drop was twice as much as the first!! Still 90 days out, wonder what else might happen OP stated they were still 90 days out. That's why the refund. OP made finial payment before final payment was due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought final payment for suites was different than for regular cabins :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaide612 Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Final payment is not until 75 days out so keep checking! I got price drops on my final payment day (also suite) - they also would not put as OBC but refunded. Just an FYI - the refund was credited to the credit card we used for our initial booking deposit. That was the only payment made on that card. We used two different cards to make interim payments and then another card for the final payment (different people - different cards).

hominid Posted March 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 15, 2014 You're welcome! I only knew this because I just booked a suite this week and my TA verified that when she read off the terms and conditions. Good thing I was actually listening to that long, rattling of words:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didugger Posted March 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have to ask...... did you lose any perks when you got your price adjustment? We got in on the UDP and UBP with our booking. I didn't know if I would have to give that up if I asked to have a price adjustment. Congrats on your good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted March 15, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 15, 2014 A sweet deal for booking a Suite. Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get extra for booking more than 9 months before cruise. Do you keep those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perkydebrajean Posted March 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We're booked in a haven suite for December 11 and our final payment due date is September 11th. So our final payment is due 90 days before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars7816 Posted March 15, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 15, 2014 My first question to a TA/or PCC next time we book will be: What's your plan if the price takes a serious drop after final payment date? Last cruise, we did get an extra $75 OBC, but had to beg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted March 15, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks for posting. You reminded me to check the price on our upcoming trip and found our suite had come down another $300. We're before final too so cha-ching! :D Congrats to us both. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
