cruisin from florida Posted July 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I found a small price drop on an upcoming cruise. We are past final payment, but I called C&A expecting to get an OBC for the amount of the price drop, as we have done in the past. I was told that since this cruise wasn't booked while "cruise with confidence" was still in effect, there is no adjustment or OBC if there's a price drop after final payment. Is the new and I missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the BPG still exists but I can't swear to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babr Posted July 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Best Price was part of the Cruise With Confidence program. Both are gone now. They applied to cruises booked in March that sail by Sept. 30, 2022. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If booked after March 31'st they won't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing price adjustments if you are before final payment as they have always done. Just not after final payment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If booked after March 31'st they won't The Cruise with Confidence Best Price Guarantee program allows guests to take advantage of better rates up to 48 hours prior to sail date! Guests must have booked on or before March 31, 2022, for sailings that depart before September 30, 2022 and they can request the difference of their booked rates versus any rate reduction. The difference in pricing will be added to the booking as an onboard credit, inside final payment, and it’ll be applied within 14 business days, and a new confirmation will be generated with the Onboard Credit value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got to take advantage of it once, but it was several hundred bucks worth of spa time. 😄 Oh well, at least now I won't be obsessively checking prices once we've made final payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miyanc Posted July 22, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2022 the only good part for me so far, is that since booking in june for my upcoming 10-1 cruise I was able to get a small reduction and cheap upgrade from inside gty to neighbrhood xn. since that the prices have gone up a little.

allesonwonderland Posted October 31, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I got a little obc for a small price drop last week, but there was a bigger drop today! Dang it--should've waited. I didn't realize they had done away with it altogether. I guess I now need to treat cruises like I do airline tickets--once you buy, never check the price again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you got OBC, but there's no limit to how often you can reprice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWP-001 Posted November 1, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It looked like there was a price drop from my November 2022 cruise and I was interested in buying up to a better cabin. When he saw the $4 price drop to my cabin, perhaps he misspoke when he started to offer the $4 refund. Don't know because I opted for a small additional payment to upgrade to a better cabin.

Well, that's incorrect. If it's before final payment, you should keep checking prices since you can take advantage of them. If it's after final payment, only look IF you are interested in moving up in category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
