ryano Posted March 12, 2013 #103 Share Posted March 12, 2013 ...but it was nearly a $500 price difference which made me angry! Thats why I book at a price Im comfortable with and generally stay away from the pricing part of the website AFTER final payment unless Im looking for an upgrade :p.........Being that Im in a wheelchair and require an accessible cabin, upgrades that close to sail date are very few and far between. Enjoy your deck 8 Promenade cabin. I stayed in one on Freedom of the Seas and it was the perfect location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rated Posted March 12, 2013 Author #104 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm still not sure what price she gave me lol, all I know it's less than what I payed originally and got the room upgrade. Although it was $100 more than what the website says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted March 12, 2013 #106 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just be careful with a Promenade cabin that you close the drapes unless you want everyone across from you to get a show! On the other hand, if you are looking for a show, leave the drapes open because you never know if the people across from you remembered to close their drapes!:eek:;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted March 12, 2013 #107 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Did you get the PR room you want? There are a lot of cabins left on that deck so you can change it if you want to be in a certain area. (btw also a lot left on decks 6 & 7) The price you are paying is probably more than you see on the website because she is probably quoting you the last website price (I saw $629pp yesterday) that was not in the Tuesday sale ($569pp?) She is really not supposed to give you the Tuesday sale price as it is for new bookings only, but she upgraded you as a courtesy to save you the hassle of cancelling and rebooking. You can also call and ask them to send you a booking confirmation to your email address. I always do this to make sure all the details are correct.

travelplus Posted March 12, 2013 #113 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I experienced a price drop and called my Travel Agent who was able to give it to us. Soon after the prices for our cruise went up and haven't gone down since. I hope you do get your $200 refund and I look forward to hearing from you to see if RCCL gave you the difference in price.

Rare Familygoboston Posted March 12, 2013 #118 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Congratulations! Thanks to CC, you have already received info that saved you money (in the form of a better cabin than paid for):D Behold the power of CC! Btw, I use the technique of "a friend who has sailed RCL mentioned that I could..." To request stuff I heard about in CC. I just don't mention that my "friend" is really thousands of "friends" on CC!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted March 12, 2013 #123 Share Posted March 12, 2013 She explained how the pricing works and how when you pay in full you're locked in, which I agreed and then asked this.... Congrats on your upgrade! The lovely Avril was incorrect on this point, however - once you pay in full you can still get a full refund if you cancel before full payment is actually due (if you're from the U.S. or Canada; rules for other are different).

cruisnseas Posted March 12, 2013 #124 Share Posted March 12, 2013 For the record (and you should call back), Avril gave you some wrong information. You can take a lower price ON YOUR FINAL PAYMENT DUE DATE. I cannot stress that enough. The no refund/obc policy begins the day AFTER your final payment DUE DATE. Not the date you pay, the date it is due. Now, she may have said that was a non-convertible price code. In which case, that is a fancy term for "new bookings only" and it doesn't matter if you are pre or post final, you can't have it. (Think: Tuesday sale).

She gave him the previous price which was still less than what he paid (I am guessing this because he said the price he got was better but still $100 more than what was showing online, or the Tues sale price). He got the cabin he wanted and $16 back. Edited March 13, 2013 by marci22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
