Cinders411 Posted February 19 #1 Share Posted February 19 The price of our cabin is now half of what we paid. Does RCI even still do price drop to onboard credit these days? It's been a while since we cruise on RCI. I wonder if anyone has called and gotten a cabin upgrade due to price drops? Just wondering. Thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted February 19 #2 Share Posted February 19 Call Royal or your TA ASAP and inquire. The price can fluctuate at any moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll keep the same booking number and they'll email you a new updated confirmation for your new final payment balance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinders411 Posted February 19 Author #7 Share Posted February 19 Okay I completed the price drop form and tried to submit. It would not take as it now has to be within 48 hours of the original booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A regular reprice simply resets your balance due. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Engineroom Snipe Posted February 19 #9 Share Posted February 19 (edited) The reasoning behind calling is this: You are entitled to a full refund before your final payment date unless you used some non-refundable deposit discount. Even then you would lose your deposit and book again with a savings. This is a worst case scenario if you are talking about a 50% price difference. Otherwise, you can threaten to cancel, get a full refund and book at the new 50% less price. Any travel agency or even Royal can see the logic in this and in most cases will adjust your price on the same contract. If your price dropped by 50%, they would be foolish to lose a booked cabin over this situation. The price drop is normally associated with cruises which are not meeting time requirements against cabins sold.

Mum2Mercury Posted February 20 #10 Share Posted February 20 Yes, you can get a price match -- but you must call (or, if you booked with a TA, call that person). Not long ago I had a $200+ price drop, and all it took was a 5 or 10 minute phone call. People are always saying it's hard to get RC customer service on the phone: call early or late (they're open until something like 11:00 pm), and you'll get through quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardener5b Posted February 20 #13 Share Posted February 20 We got another price drop today on our November TA. Took all of 5 minutes to save $900. Definitely worth the call. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another great reason to use a TA, especially those who don't charge you for their services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
