UK price drop before final payment

[6LUCKY]

Hi.

 

I apologise if I am late to the party and this is common knowledge but I've just rang to pay my final payment (not actually due until 14.9.16) and mentioned that there had been a price drop. I'm in the UK and booked direct with RCCL.

 

I didn't really expect anything and was willing to pay the price I agreed when I booked. They just said OK no problem and price dropped by £152, still the same booking and no alterations.

 

I'm so happy. RCCL are getting the money back as I've now booked a ship excursion. :D

You've done very well there, never had a price reduction for a booking that has reduced in price via RCI UK only an option to upgrade.

Excellent!

 

So did they give you the full amount of the published price drop?

[6LUCKY]

Not quite the full amount but close enough. I didn't want to argue in case they changed their mind.

 

I said I'd noticed a price drop and wondered if there was anything they could do. They came up with the figure.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully this is a change of policy for UK bookings.

I doubt it - the OP got lucky and got a generous CSR.

It is very unusual to get a price drop in the UK. So congratulations on getting one.

Never had a problem over the years getting price drops from the UK when booked direct with RCI.

You must have been lucky every time since the official policy on UK bookings is that you don't get price drops. Sometimes, if one has a promo low deposit and the drop is big enough, it's worth forfeiting the deposit, cancel and rebook, but that's not the same as a price drop.
