Homestyle Posted May 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2022 We have an Alaskan cruise booked on the Eclipse for the 24th July. The price has dropped and I called to see it we could get a price reduction or OBC. The answer was a firm NO. It isn't paid in full, as we are still waiting on a FCC to be applied to the booking Disappointing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you booked through a US based TA, this is entirely normal for UK reservations. We do not get the benefit of any drops in price now the 'Price Promise' rules are back to normal.

Rare Host Anne Posted May 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I don't know about the UK but here in the USA, my travel agent can reprice the cruise and get the lower price prior to making a final payment. You should ask your travel agent about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fly and Sail Posted May 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2022 How much have you paid so far? Are you eligible for Cruise with Confidence? Probably better to cancel entirely, get another FCC for what you have paid so far and then make a new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdrinks Posted May 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Certainly in the UK if you booked prior to March 2021 you get the ‘Cruise With Confidence- Best Offer Guarantee’ if the price drops. Only this week I got £500 per person reduction off my account! A whopping £2k off for my family of 4! Edited May 29, 2022 by Bigdrinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk2cruise Posted May 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) OP If you booked prior to May 31 then your sailing should be eligible for Cruise with Confidence and you certainly should be eligible for the price drop. Did you specifically request the OBC using CwC? Since this program is not offered on new bookings now I wonder if the person you were dealing with even knew about the benefits your reservation was booked with. Maybe you need to educate them with this link https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruise-with-confidence Edited May 29, 2022 by wrk2cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
