tommy47 Posted April 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2016 if you use a travel agent when booking a princess cruise like 9 months early and the price goes down in your class of balcony you choose can you get money back? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphey Posted April 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Very likely yes. However, if you booked under a promotion you will likely lose that. But you can always pick up a new promo if there is one now. Good luck! (Also, you have to be before final payment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted April 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Also, make sure that you don't have a non-refundable deposit if your first booking was made during a special promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietemann Posted April 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Also, be aware that some travel agents will charge a fee for any changes. I only use an agent who will not charge me for rate adjustments or cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Many people have booked at lower prices later. We took a 4 day coastal a few years back (all we could fit into our work schedules) and the price dropped later on (but before final payment). We saved a total of $660 by contacting our TA and having him re-book our cruise at the lower rate. It is well worth the effort to contact your TA and ask if changing your booking makes sense for your situation. Note: I always check regularly for price drops. I didn't used to be so good about checking but I would have missed the price drop on this cruise if someone hadn't posted it here on CC in our roll call thread.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Adjustments can be made up to final payment. After that, you are locked in. Know your contract: refundable/non-refundable deposit promotions "new bookings" only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted April 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Money back is not the same as paying a lower price at final payment date if the price goes down. Don't make final payment until close to the final payment date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbfluffy Posted April 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2016 My rate went down after final payment. I was able to get an on board credit. I had to be persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted April 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2016 if you use a travel agent when booking a princess cruise like 9 months early and the price goes down in your class of balcony you choose can you get money back? thank you Yes, you can cancel and re-book any cat. cabin under the new promo terms and conditions up until final payment is due. Watch out for, non-refundable deposits and T.A. fees for changes. Our T.A. never charges us a fee. I assume by the phrase "can you get money back" you are referring to your deposit, because for most cruises payment is not due until 75 days before sailing. Most people just have the deposits applied to the new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted April 16, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) My rate went down after final payment. I was able to get an on board credit. I had to be persistent. When they recently(last 3 months) did an adjustment for me after final payment they did state, they look at each case individually so there are always exceptions, that time I booked with P, the next time I booked with a the TA the TA was told no.

RocketMan275 Posted April 16, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2016 if you use a travel agent when booking a princess cruise like 9 months early and the price goes down in your class of balcony you choose can you get money back? thank you Yes, you certainly can. I booked an aft balcony on Caribbean Princess at $1350. I heard of a priced drop here on CC. Called my PCC and the price was reduced to $1050. The price subsequently rose back to $1350. A few weeks later, there was a promo which reduced the price to $850. Called the PCC and got the price drop. The price went back up to $1350. This promo had a non-refundable deposit but I figured it was still a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
