price reduction and promos???

[outtabux]

I booked back in June and got 3rd and 4th guest, UBP and the photo package and arcade credit. Now my cruise fare has dropped $400 and they say I will lose my arcade credit and photo package if I want to take the price drop. Is this what everyone else has experienced? Is there a way to just do a price reduction without cancelling and rebooking and losing my promos?

if you cancel and rebook at a lower rate, then you have to take the current promos with the current rate.

so yes, will lose any promos that are not still applicable.

however, one way around it is to just upgrade into a higher category instead of taking the $ back. then you can keep your promos as booked and still benefit from a lowered fare.

Yes, but you'll get the current promos (unless you're after final payment) - which I assume you would choose 3rd & 4th free & free UBP. Given that its $400 cheaper, you'll still come out slightly ahead than keeping your current price w/ the arcade & photo promos.

Does anyone know where this is in their terms?

 

Thinking of booking an inside now on any cruise to lock in the service charge promo, then upgrading to a balcony later on whatever cruise I decide to go on.

 

Guessing that won't work because the upgrade would have to be on the same cruise.
