Your TA should call for you and get the price adjustment, although some are reluctant to do that b/c it cuts into their commission, so be prepared to firmly insist on it.

lvtotrvl1 Posted June 21, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Your TA should call for you and get the price adjustment, although some are reluctant to do that b/c it cuts into their commission, so be prepared to firmly insist on it. Most TA's will be happy to check prices and adjust them if necessary. The commission lost is very small on a price drop. If the client does not come back to book again, you stand to lose much more. I read these boards regularly and frosm what I can see, if you have booked through a deep discount agency, there is a chance that it will be more difficult to receive a price drop. They already lost most of their commission when discounting your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almitra Posted June 21, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2007 In checking for price drops, do I check with the site of the online agency I booked with or RCCL's site? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geniseg_2000 Posted June 21, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Is there another way to check for a price drop if my category is sold out? I'm in a Cat N (basically sleeping with the crew) and they have N/A listed for the last couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarNSpice8104 Posted June 21, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2007 If your cat is sold out then you won't get a price drop. They drop prices to sell the rooms or cat that are not filled yet. Since your cat is sold out they do not need to drop the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted June 21, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yup,just last night, I saved $100 on our cabin and $80 on my inlaws cabin for our Aug 23rd Enchantment 4 nt cruise....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruz Posted June 21, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Wow...I just checked ours Mariner sept 16th and the price has gone up $900 per person since I booked 3 months ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amybear912 Posted June 21, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 21, 2007 If your cat is sold out then you won't get a price drop. They drop prices to sell the rooms or cat that are not filled yet. Since your cat is sold out they do not need to drop the price. However, what you may find is a higher category room for about what you paid... in which case, you may be able to upgrade to the better room.

EggDropErin Posted June 21, 2007 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Prices have not yet dropped for my cabin categories on any of the 4 upcoming cruises. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t&kluvcruising Posted June 21, 2007 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2007 We are booked on AOS in October and I keep checking and am finding higher room rates but our airfare is around $300 cheaper right now than when we booked. Does anyone know if they adjust airfare later? We have not made final payment yet...probably will next month. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGirl55 Posted June 21, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks for sharing your news! I just called rccl to check on my upcoming cruise on the Sovereign in September, and we got a hundred bucks off. :D Split that with my sister and my aunt, and we saved another 33 dollars each. Never a day goes by that I don't find out something new and usefull on these boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you booked air on your own, some airlines will give credit for a price drop, but not all. It can't hurt to call and ask though. I got credit vouchers for a future flight on Delta when I saw a price drop. Spirit said no way, no how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almitra Posted June 21, 2007 #19 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hmmmm...better ask again cuz I think I got overlooked ((sigh)). Do I check the site I booked with or do I have to go by RCCL's site exclusively for price drops? Again, thanks in advance, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since your cat is sold out they do not need to drop the price. this might not be absolutely true. Last April we were on Explorer. We had a Senior rate and the rates dropped for the category above and below us. When my TA called RCI about it, we were given the lower rate even though our Category was showing no availability. It does not hurt to call and ask anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribTrvln Posted June 21, 2007 #21 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I have a question for all the experienced cruisers out there......We are booked on the Enchantment in a D1 Balcony cabin for a 5 night Aug. 13, 2007. I paid $799.00 pp. Since then it's gone up to $1119.00 and stayed there. Does anyone really think I will get a better deal than what I paid (which I DO think it was a great price but 1st cruise so what do I know <chuckle>) or should I stop looking at rccl's website everyday price checking? Thanks for any info/advice! :) Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually book with a TA but keep checking RCCL website to see if there is a price drop. If so, I call my TA and she gets it for me. Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted June 21, 2007 #23 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Your cruise price has already increased $320/pp. It's extrememly unlikely that it will drop below your original cost BUT it doesn't hurt to check. You never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
