shoegal24 Posted April 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The fare of our cruise went down $300 PP today. I called my TA and Princess said they would give us a $600 credit if we got rid of our upgraded room (which was on Caribe) and went back to a BG - a balcony on Riviera. $600 savings is huge IMO and worth the risk of having a balcony under some pool chairs. We'll just bring ear plugs :) WDYT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted April 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Agreed! That's a lot of $$$ difference. Tom The fare of our cruise went down $300 PP today.

MCC retired Posted April 30, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If OP did indeed go to a BG Guarantee , still could end up with a decent cabin upgrade . Good move , $600 saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tralynn Posted April 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I would have happily taken the $600 and another cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted April 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yep -agree. I hope your reservation was in a BG Guarantee. That way, you could still end up with a higher category. Make sure your reservation isn't marked "won't accept a compl. upgrade". Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matcodixon Posted May 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I did something similar on our Med Cruise this August . We started with a BG guarantee and the upgrade fairy moved us to a BA on the Lido deck I decided to downgrade to a BD on the Baja deck and got a similar price reduction of almost $700. The most interesting part is with the new rating system going into effect next year our BD cabin will be a BB rated one and the BA on the Lido will be a BF. Go figure.. I like the cabin we now have better which is the reason I switched. I guess Princess agrees which is why the new ratings have changed. The price reduction was a bonus. Also had two more price drops since then and now our final payment has been reduced by about $1300! We could not be happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
