Price reduction

[hammo]

We have booked a couple of short cruises - just 5 days Quantum and 3 days Oasis to finally get back at sea . Booked direct last December for sails Jan 2022 and just convinced friends to get onboard also . Sadly for us - lucky for them - they booked  the cabin just across from us and paid $300 less. Seems booking early doesnt pay off - I assume we have no chance of getting a reduction .

You have every chance. If you see your class of room for that cruise with a cheaper price, call up RC/or your TA and get the cheaper price.

Yes just call and ask for a price adjustment under the guarantee:

You’ll receive the difference as a non-refundable onboard credit inside final payment or rate adjustment outside final payment.

Thankyou all for the info - I did locate the Cruise with Confidence article - I should have been so much better at this - so out of practice for an experienced cruiser . Hope we can get back to semi - normal - covid normal cruising  - we have missed 3 cruises last year and there is an expectation we can  get back to cruising albiet with a safe happiness . Thanks again - the fare difference will be spent onboard anyway !

Is it possible that their room being "just across from us" is a different category room?

Why wouldn't there be? CWC applies globally and besides they came back in post 3 and it sounds like they had it applied as he referenced spending it on board.
