Clarea Posted August 6, 2018 #28 Share Posted August 6, 2018 OK, dumb question, but how does one check a booking price?? Get on Royal's website and do a mock booking of the same exact category you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambermark Posted August 6, 2018 #30 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I’m from the uk and when my price dropped I rang up and had it changed no problem, should they not have done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisocialworker Posted August 6, 2018 #34 Share Posted August 6, 2018 today might be a good day to check your cruise pricing....for our upcoming Harmony cruise, I just saved $552...wooohooo..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 6, 2018 Author #35 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Sometimes I question whether I should be checking the price of my bookings so often. Most days I look in the morning over a cup of hot coffee. I do it just about every day but it really just takes a couple of minutes. We have a booking for Ovation in September 2019, Vancouver to Hawaii. One of my favorites cruises. This is what has happened to our booking since May from me checking most mornings. We have a balcony on deck 7 towards the back of the hump. May 7th - $4,063.60 May 11th - $3,863.60 July 2nd - $3,551.60 July 7th - $3,321.60 July 20th - $3,122.60 August 2nd - $2,505.60 I don't think checking is a waste of my time, do you? :D This is crazy good, it dropped again today. We are now at $2,359.60:D Edit: Also our OBC went up from $76 to $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squadron Posted August 6, 2018 #36 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Get on Royal's website and do a mock booking of the same exact c ategory you already have.[/quot There seems is only one price per category now - is that the none or refundable rate? RCI must has adjusted the exchange rate for Cdn funds - prices seem really high now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TwoMisfits Posted August 6, 2018 #37 Share Posted August 6, 2018 My 2 inside Anthem cabins (3 people each) dropped from $2K/each to $1500/each about 3 weeks after I booked them last fall...now, 9 months later (and less than 3 months out), they are over $2600/each. I haven't bothered checking recently, since at one point, the category was sold out...and I'm thinking I got about as good as I was gonna get and am happy:)...

What do I do and how does this work? I don't think checking is a waste of my time, do you? If you find that the price has gone down you just need to call whomeber you booked your cruise with and request a price adjustment. Be careful that you compare not only the price but any incentives such as OBC that came with it, you do not get to get the new price and the old perks.

What do I do and how does this work? I don't think checking is a waste of my time, do you? If you find it has gone down, call Royal if you booked with them or call your travel agent if you book with one. Tell them you checked the price and it looks to have dropped. As Ourusualbeach just mentioned be sure you are not going to lose any perks that you may have such as OBC. Of course if the drop is bigger than the OBC, go for it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted August 6, 2018 #47 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I know. I have never seen that on the Hawaii cruises with a balcony. Since Radiance is the only comparable with much fewer balconies, it makes sense that Ovation would be less. It might be Hawaii but it's still a re-positioning cruise where sub $100 pppd is the norm (except maybe Serenade).

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted August 6, 2018 #48 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I find the website misleading because it only gives non refundable pricing... Great job though finding those price drops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvmypeke Posted August 7, 2018 #49 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It definitely pays to keep checking prices. We were able to upgrade to a nice suite due to a price drop for our sailing next month on Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
