newcruzer2 Posted March 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2018 My question is about a travel agent changing the price of a cruise without notifying me. I booked a price (printed it out) and I went in today to make a payment and I noticed they totally changed the price. making it higher ,not by much BUT that's not the point. The point is, what if they raise the price right before final payment I don't notice it in and then they said that I hadn't pay for the WHOLE cruise ?????

swoopy2110 Posted March 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You should be taking this up with the travel agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted March 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Royals systems have fairly often changed peoples prices higher for no reason. If your TA is linked to Royals site perhaps that is what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloworm2 Posted March 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Was the addition the gratuities? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsxgrl28 Posted March 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Ask why. This is one of the reasons we dumped our previous TA. We had others but after signing & deposit price change was the final deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmm79 Posted March 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2018 My ta adds insurance and I have to affirmatively write back we are not interested which adds some money to the final bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguy1016 Posted March 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have the same problem. Sort of. My TA occasionally changes the price if my cruises. She keeps lowering the price without my permission. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCruzzing Posted March 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I thought you had to call TA to make payments rather than pay Royal direct if you used a TA. Is that not the case, just booked through TA for first time and didn’t think I could pay the remaking fare direct to Royal???

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You are correct...you will need to make payments through your TA. Although, you will be able to make Cruise Planner purchases online or on the phone with Royal.

Sent from my iPad using Forums It was $5.09 pp , so clearly I'm not saying 10 bucks is a big deal ....just thought it was odd, because usually port fee changes are done once onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruzer2 Posted March 20, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Taxes don't change upwards after you have a deposit down Yes I'm sure you are right, but I asked thru CC because being on hold with my big box TA for 1/2 hour isn't worth it, just wonder if it had happened to others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
