skidawg79 Posted November 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If the cruise you book dropped in price, but no longer offering the OBC, do you get the adjustment to the lower price but still keep the OBC? Or would I lose the OBC if I request a price adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted November 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2018 You get whatever the current offer is when you re-price the cruise. If the OBC was part of a prior promotion, you lose it. If it was from booking on board, you keep it. If it was from a TA, it is the TA's call on whether it stays or goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidawg79 Posted November 1, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Ok thank you for the clarification. Cruise dropped $75 but I have $175 OBC (promotion from RCI) so not worth asking for the adjustment since I would lose The OBC. Thanks for the help!

slyster Posted November 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2018 correct. I just had this happen to me. I had a chance to save $292 on a cruise I booked. However I would receive $100 in OBC instead of $175 that I previously had. I still saved so I took this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnargnarz Posted November 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Is this true if you are upgrading? I have an OV Balcony booked w/ $250 OBC but am looking to upgrade to JS. There is no OBC offered w/ the JS currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaflamingo Posted November 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The best way to look at a price change before final payment is to consider you are effectively "cancelling" your cruise with no penalty and "rebooking." So you are subject to whatever the new pricing promotion is. So if the original price included discounted drink packages, you'd lose those, OBC, you'd lose that, etc. On the other hand, if the new pricing included drink packages, you'd get that. So there are times a price INCREASE may be a net reduction. I had 3 Crown Lofts reserved on a great rate for our family, 6 adults 5 children. We had reduced drink packages included. The a Kids Sail Free promotion came up and even though the price for each adult went up and the drink packages went away, my net savings was $2000! So... no brainer. Always.....ALWAYS run ALL the numbers and get the REAL bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did sail with RCCL before but I didn’t do the booking or look into any of this back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
