RMac713 Posted January 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2023 We have two sky suites in April on Beyond. They really dropped today! If I booked now I could get a Celebrity suite or aqua sky suite for less than our sky suites. Can I call and get a price adjustment, or upgrade? I do not have a TA.

Our April cruise is down by about $800 (Canadian) - I may call and see if we can get something..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare garyl62 Posted January 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Price adjustment or OBC IMO is not likely, upgrade to a Celebrity Suite or higher should be ok as long as you pay any increase between what you paid and the current price of something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMac713 Posted January 12, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) I'm on the phone right now She priced it all out and then was surprised I had made my final payment (which was due Jan. 2). The cost savings for the two cabins would be $4378! She is seeing if it can be done. She already made the change and I asked if he refund would be on our Credit Card and then she suddenly needed to check.

RMac713 Posted January 12, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Well, the answer was no. Price stays the same. And upgrade only if there is more revenue involved. I explained I couldn't have done this before the 2nd because of the pricing (I checked before I paid the final payment) and doesn't matter. Them's the breaks.

Can you add anything to the better suite to make cost a couple dollars more than what you paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cancelling and forfeiting the 25% cancellation penalty still save you some money if you rebooked at the current reduced rate? Might be worth looking into. If there's a cost savings, you could explain this to them and ask them for the refund in leu of having you jump through hoops to achieve the discount. Definitely get the cabin secured before cancelling. Edited January 12, 2023 by NorthStarStateCruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer - thought we had a chance when I read your first reponse. On the phone on hold right now - MAYBE her supervisor can give us the extra $50 OBC - better than nothing if we get that. The price you pay planning and booking ahead I guess ... sigh ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is worth it I might book a similar room on costco and then cancel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 13, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Generally after final payment there is no accommodation for price reduction after the end of Cruise with confidence. You could however upgrade to a higher class as long as the new room is at least $1 more than you paid. Having said that I once had the same situation. The agent said no but my agent called a high level contact at Celebrity and they upgraded us. This was almost 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfly Posted January 13, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I just booked a celebrity cruise and they highlighted their best price guarantee.

If it’s a difference of a few hundred $$, that would be worth it and you should see if they can upgrade to that since it costs more.
