BIG surprise

[EmergencyPA]

Made final payment a couple of weeks ago for June cruise on Gem. Just before making payment called PCC and got a nice drop in price(in a suite). Made new final payment and did not check prices for cabin since, figure past final payment, happy with what I paid so now time to get ready to cruise. Yesterday out of the blue PCC calls and informs me of another price drop and adjusts cost of cruise and will be sending a refund check(tried to just make it OBC but said he couldn't ). This drop was twice as much as the first!! Still 90 days out, wonder what else might happen

That's great! Your PCC must be one of the good ones :)

 

It also contradicts just about every other story of price drops where PCCs weren't allowed to "refund" money after final payment and would ONLY offer OBC equivalent to 25% of the price difference.

 

Perhaps it has something to do with the suite, or with your status at NCL.

 

Either way, it's still great to hear!

OP stated they were still 90 days out. That's why the refund. OP made finial payment before final payment was due.

OK.. I thought final payment for suites was different than for regular cabins :)

Final payment is not until 75 days out so keep checking! I got price drops on my final payment day (also suite) - they also would not put as OBC but refunded.

 

Just an FYI - the refund was credited to the credit card we used for our initial booking deposit. That was the only payment made on that card. We used two different cards to make interim payments and then another card for the final payment (different people - different cards).

Your PCC is a GEM!

Good for you! Nice :)

 

Have you been on the Gem before?

I'm on Breakaway this summer, but I sooooo want to try a trip on Gem!

 

Happy Cruising!

Final payments on cruises are the same but the day to cancel for full refund on a suite is 120 days out.

Duh I'm reading this completely wrong - you are correct!

Ahh... thanks for that info :)

[hominid]

You're welcome! I only knew this because I just booked a suite this week and my TA verified that when she read off the terms and conditions. Good thing I was actually listening to that long, rattling of words:D

[didugger]

I have to ask...... did you lose any perks when you got your price adjustment? We got in on the UDP and UBP with our booking. I didn't know if I would have to give that up if I asked to have a price adjustment. Congrats on your good luck!

A sweet deal for booking a Suite. Nice

I'm wondering the same. I also wondered about latitudes points. You get extra for booking more than 9 months before cruise. Do you keep those?

[jimsig]

Good deal!

[perkydebrajean]

We're booked in a haven suite for December 11 and our final payment due date is September 11th. So our final payment is due 90 days before the cruise.

[Bars7816]

My first question to a TA/or PCC next time we book will be: What's your plan if the price takes a serious drop after final payment date? Last cruise, we did get an extra $75 OBC, but had to beg.

[Cubechick]

Thanks for posting. You reminded me to check the price on our upcoming trip and found our suite had come down another $300. We're before final too so cha-ching! :D

 

Congrats to us both. :D
