price drop, what do you do?

[dazadelaide]

Hi all,

has anyone experienced a price drop after you have booked and paid a deposit for a cruise?

We have paid a $800 deposit for a cruise in March 2023 and this week P&O have reduced the price of the the cruise in the same cabin by $400.

We contacted our travel agent to see if we could at least get an on board credit but we were told bad luck nothing can be done.

Has anyone here ever been able to get anything changed or a credit on anything.

Thanks

Daz

I know Princess can refare if it's the exact same cabin category (has to be the category, not just Balcony or Oceanview for example). Not sure about P&O tho.

Depending on your Deposit Terms, you might be able to cancel your booking, get a refund of deposit and then re-book on the cheaper fare - providing that fare is still available!.

have contacted P&O and their reply is they won't do anything.

We would loose our deposit if we cancel.

It's the first time we paid a big deposit up front we usually book when P&O have a sale so I think we will go back to that plan again in the future.

You live and learn!

P&O Australia are known not to bother with customer loyalty either. Quite sad, we will put our money towards cruise lines that do have these programs and will match any price drop. RCL is one of those lines who will drop the price if same cabin class becomes cheaper. Hence why we most likely never to sail with P&O Australia again.
