Island_Chica Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I checked fares this AM for giggles, and noticed our price had gone down over $1000. Final payment not due until Monday and NCL is closed for the holiday. Should I book another cabin today and cancel our other one tomorrow? Will it let me book another cabin for the same passengers?

hawkeyetlse Posted November 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Should I book another cabin today and cancel our other one tomorrow? Will it let me book another cabin for the same passengers?I would go on-line and put a courtesy hold on a second cabin in the same category. I don't know if it will accept the same names, if not just put in your dog and cat's names (but not their birthdates) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends upon how the promos stack up for when you originally booked and what is being offered now. If they are comparable, make a new reservation at the lower price and just cancel the other (yes you will be able to do). If you got a much better promo deal, than try and make the phone call tomorrow and see what you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmess Posted November 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'd try to book another cabin, Hold if possible, if not then book it. Also maybe screen shot everything and contact NCL as soon as they open. If you have a PCC, maybe call and leave a message and also send and email. I'd cover as many bases as possible to save $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted November 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Congrats on the savings, I am glad everything worked out for you. Have a wonderful cruise. Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobstad Posted November 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I thought a TA could never offer a price lower than the cruise line????? A TA can offer perks but not lower price. Good for you! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted November 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I thought a TA could never offer a price lower than the cruise line????? A TA can offer perks but not lower price. Sure they can, however there are restrictions about how they can advertise the lower prices. My TA has always given us about 10% of the total price as OBC and/or discount (usually a mix of both).

Josher61 Posted November 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I must have missed the post where Island _Chica said everything worked out. ?? LOL you're right, it's gone! Well, she said she got it all worked out and will cancel her other booking tomorrow if I recall correctly. Oh, I get it now, the OP mentioned a TA, I guess that's why it disappeared. Anyway, yes, she's happy it worked out exactly as she wanted. This thread does seem strange now though, doesn't it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it looks like her post may have been removed. She did mention a travel agency. Got a deal for close to $1000 less than her original booking. so rebooked with said agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Chica Posted November 26, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Oh gosh I did not realize I could not mention large agencies. Yes I did book another cabin. Turns out the agency had a better rate than NCL direct, more onboard credit and two offers instead of one. We will cancel with ncl tomorrow. Saved us about $1200 when you factor in rate savings, OBC and dining package. It was a real no brainer.
