SullytheBFG Posted July 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We booked 2 weeks on the Escape for January 2016 early this year. It was booked directly with NCL and is a UK booking. Prices have changed and have gone down, does anyone have experience of changing a cabin booking? The reason I ask is we have one balcony booked and one oceanview. The oceanview is for my Mum as single occupancy and she is right at the front of the ship a long distance from our balcony cabin. The balcony cabin is now less than an oceanview. We have only paid the £200 each deposit and have the UBP included which is still a current offer. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissLe Posted July 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have only successfully upgraded a UK booking, when I enquired about 'doing a US' and rebooking at lower price it would've meant forfeiting my deposit. Most times I book through the US or EU site now (make sure you bear in mind the currency conversion charge with your CC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullytheBFG Posted July 31, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks for your reply I am not really looking for a reduction in the price just being able to change the oceanview to a balcony and move Mum nearer us. Also she is miles away from the lifts and has some walking difficulties now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsty_r Posted July 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2015 ring or email - i rebooked under a different offer, forfeited deposit but the prices were lower so it worked out cheaper overall. This sounds like a upgrade - but also play on the poorer health card too. I find the cruise consulatants really helpful in the uk usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullytheBFG Posted July 31, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I called and they can only use the pricing at the time of booking, they wanted another £500 to change to a balcony which is too much. I did look at cancelling and rebooking but it didn't really work. Oh well, they were quite helpful though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsty_r Posted July 31, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2015 keep an eye on the offers and price drops, it may become economical soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
