Ken at the beach Posted July 23, 2017 #151 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Are they giving substantial OBC? Or is it just the usual $50-$100?

deliver42 Posted July 23, 2017 #152 Share Posted July 23, 2017 To me, on my cruise, it wasn't smoke and mirrors, unless you think a $400.00 saving plus $100.00 OBC is smoke and mirrors. This isn't against any new price increase for refundable. I actually changed the cruise from a refundable to a NR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpluvsdolphins Posted July 23, 2017 #153 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you switch from RD to NFD before final payment, do you get the OBC? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted July 23, 2017 #154 Share Posted July 23, 2017 In many cases the old refundable rate was similar to the new NDR rate, so in reality it is the new refundable rate that is that much more expensive. I think that's the way it will be when the new releases come out next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 23, 2017 #155 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you switch from RD to NFD before final payment, do you get the OBC? Yes, if the OBC promo is still in effect at that time - the OBC offer could be pulled at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 23, 2017 #156 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you switch from RD to NFD before final payment, do you get the OBC? Sent from my iPhone using Forums The OBC associated with the NRD is only for bookings made or transferred 6 months or more prior to sail date. Within 6 months of sail date there is no OBC for the NRD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 23, 2017 #157 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think that's the way it will be when the new releases come out next year. I agre. Also I did notice a significant drop in the fare for my cruise at the 6 month mark when the OBC for the NRD was no longer applicable. Could just be coincidence.

Daghis Posted July 23, 2017 #161 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Since the Vietnamese post includes a link, it looks like they're simply trying to play games with search engines' algorithms by scattering links to a particular site in order to improve the "quality" of that site in the eyes of the search engines (sometimes as a way to make malware sites more readily visible to unsuspecting users). I bet that link can be found in many low-quality posts at various other forums on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted July 23, 2017 #166 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you change to another ship/sailing at the refundable rate, then you don't have to add to the deposit. If you switch to a non-refundable rate, then you have to pay full deposit.I just switched a cruise (changed ship and sailing date). I booked it before July 1. The only choice I had was refundable but I was able to keep my $100 deposit and my OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't against any new price increase for refundable. I actually changed the cruise from a refundable to a NR. I am glad you were able to save some money.:) I can only speak of my cruise I have booked where the non refundable fare is still the same as the fare was before this went into affect. The refundable fare is now more money. Just a way to raise prices if you don't want to jeopardize your deposit. Of course all cruises aren't going to work out the same.Again just basing it on the cruise I have booked. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had before. I'm not 100% sure the C&A booking agent was right. This just applied for cruises booked before July 1, 2017 when the non-refundable fares went into effect.
