Getting a Discount if Prices Drop

[bundle]

Apologize if this has been covered before, But I wanted to find out the best way to research new price discounts that may apply to an existing reservation (whats the best way to do the research and then compare?)

 

Example - I made reservations 6 months ahead of time - and now am approaching 3 months until the cruise. Should I look at my "Countdown to Cruise" "Vacation Balance" "Cabin Fare" summary -- and compare it to todays web prices?

I always just compare price per person, that I'm paying (2 of us), to the prices being offered now.

Do a dummy booking on rci. Checking very often as in several times a week is helpful.

I usually do a false booking. Pretend you are booking this cruise and pick the cabin category which takes you to the page to enter you information - # of people including children in the cabin and answer the questions about any discounts you qualify for. ex Senior, military etc. This will bring up the pp price and compare with your current price. For example I've been checking a 11/14 cruise as a solo senior cruiser. The per person price has not dropped but the solo rate did and there was a new senior discount for this cruise. I wouldn't have known if I didn't do false booking. BTW save $200.

Does this only apply to US bookings as I was told they do not adjust prices after booking. We r traveling from UK.

Keep in mind that if you have made your final payment, you can't get a discount. After the final payment deadline, your only choice is to pay for an upgrade.

Can anyone confirm if they will price match in the UK having a bit of an argument with them at the moment as they will not match a drop in price of balconies on my cruise. Stating their system holds different prices?

Not a wow sale
