foxyreg Posted October 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi, booked my cruise on Escape few months ago, final payment is done. I see last week price drop of 150$ p.p for same cabin i booked(balcony) its 300$ for 2 people. Anyone know if a possibility to get refundable the difference ?If not possible to get something extra to compense at least? I called the agent(smartcruiser) where i book the cruise and called also NCL and they said they can't. Not a good way to treat customers i think.

Two Wheels Only Posted October 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2017 When you booked, you were happy with that price. If NCL decides to later lower the price in hopes of filling a few remaining staterooms, that doesn't mean that NCL owes you some form of compensation. Enjoy your cruise. Some guests paid more than you did for their balcony. Some paid less than you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhall98092 Posted October 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2017 often times there are things that you got (onboard credit, free something) that aren't included in the new price. you can contact Norwegian and they will change the reservation sometimes, generally before you make final payment. It never hurts to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyreg Posted October 17, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted October 17, 2017 @two wheels only :D:D:D its a way to see it, but i still think i paid 300$ too much, Anyway i will enjoy the cruise when i'll be on ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't book when you did and waited, what if the price had gone up? If you didn't book when you did and waited, what if all balcony staterooms were sold out? If you didn't book when you did and waited, what if the remaining balconies were all in a bad lcation? Think back to the second after you booked and how happy/excited you were. Nothing (for you) has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyreg Posted October 17, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Maybe, still think they abuse because final payment is done, and still think lots of balcony are still available, its not just to please customers they drop price by the way ;););) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris J. Posted October 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I say "you dont get what you dont ask for". Call them. Talk to them. Drop subtle hints about being "extremely disappointed" that this sets a bad tone for what should be a nice vacation, and then about switching to a different line next time. tell them you would feel all better with a little On Board Credit or a free spa thing.

deliver42 Posted October 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If it's after final payment date, I don't care what cruise line you choose, the result will be the same. If you want to upgrade and pay the difference, they'll do that, but you may lose whatever perks you got, depending on what's available at the time of the upgrade. Other than that, there is no option. If you paid for your cruise and it's not final payment date yet, then they will adjust the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsail15 Posted October 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Last two cruises (Gem and Breakaway) we booked a balcony room and found a significant price drop about a month out. We inquired and while there was no price adjustment, both times we were offered a "free" upgrade to a mini suite. It's worth giving them a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyreg Posted October 21, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I called them and asked for something like an upgrade or onboards credits and they told me they can't. They told me if minisuite price drop to the same price i paid for my balcony they will upgrade me to a minisuite, i think they should give me at least an upgrade to minisuite right now. By the way mini suite is it much bigger and better than balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyreg Posted October 21, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted October 21, 2017 thank you for the information, in an other category of question, can we bring with us a bottle of alcool? i think we can bring a wine bottle in our past cruise but not sure, anyone can tell me? only wine or possible to bring an alcool bottle like gin?

Two Wheels Only Posted October 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wine bottles only ($15 corkage fee for each). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazV Posted October 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This type of thinking fascinates me... If they increased the price should you then pay the extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdsted Posted October 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I bought a car 2 months ago for $30,000 and now the dealer is selling exactly the same model for $5000 less. I called and asked for a $5000 refund today and they refused. What are my options. This is very unfair. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted October 21, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2017 What in the world makes you think you are entitled to a free upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenL Posted October 21, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This happened on our sailing. Right after final payment was made there was a price drop. They do not give refunds after final payment. They were willing to give us onboard credit or an upgrade. Onboard credit was a only a percentage of the price drop, it wasn't dollar for dollar. Call and ask.

I'm genuinely interested to know if the price went up do you think you should then pay the difference? I notice you failed to answer that question though.

I called the agent(smartcruiser) where i book the cruise and called also NCL and they said they can't. Not a good way to treat customers i think. It’s similar to plane fares and car rental fares and somewhat like car purchases. Supply and demand determines price at buy time. At least NCL doesn’t kick this in until 90 days prior. Fair? Maybe not, kind of agree with you, but it is what it is. If they didn’t do this, everyone would pay the same price and nobody gets a discount...but we will have fun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3o Posted October 23, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I expect nothing after final payment and get nothing from other lines but was surprised w NCL last year. Price dropped and I called about it and they looked for an upgrade first and when couldn’t move me to better cabin gave 25% of the price drop as obc. Better than nothing .

Bootman4U Posted October 24, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Has anyone wondered why when the price RISES after you have made a final payment that the cruise line doesn't charge you for the newest rate? And yes, you did like that policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
