jimbo1683 Posted June 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have a cruise booked this time next year for two people. I booked about 9 months ago for a club class mini suite with princess plus. Earlier this year the cruise reduced significantly in price and extras such as onboard credit and port parking became available. For £50 ($60) pp i switched to the new fare saving us about £700 ($860) total. Now the fare has reduced again, albeit not by as much (£370 total). The new fare also doesnt include parking but it does include the same OBC. Parking will cost me £95 so the difference reduces to £275 total. I then need to pay the £100 admin fee to switch fares so I'm down to a total saving of £175 which - because I have a cabin I want - leaves me feeling it's probably not worth switching at the moment. How likely is it that the fare will drop further? If it dropped further I would probably switch, but obviously the more times I need to pay an admin fee the less benefit I'm getting.

Rare PacnGoNow Posted June 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2022 If it’s a year away it could definitely go down. If I had the cabin I wanted and that little difference, I’d probably wait and hold onto what I have. But, only you can decide that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina del Mar Posted June 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Sorry to say but I am under the impression that in UK , we are only allowed to make one change to bookings, even with the £100 admin fee. Good luck with whatever you decide. Would be interested to know if you are able to make additional changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt realise it was one-time only but i've just read the Passage Contract and I think you're righg. However what I'm not sure about is whether I have already made an 'amendmemt to contract' or if i have cancelled and booked under a new contract - i was given a new booking reference and my shore excursions were cancelled and refunded. I'll have to call. Edited June 11, 2022 by jimbo1683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tak8 Posted June 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2022 With the way ships are full at the moment, I'm not sure you will see further drops. Situation could change, but demand seems high right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
