newmexicoNita Posted March 31, 2017 #76 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You must be a top tier customer because even D+ customers can't get price reductions after final payment date. Bill Bill, you are right; as a retired travel agent and not that many years ago as well as having a family member who owns a large agency now I can assure others it twould be the exception for them to honor a price drop.

newmexicoNita Posted March 31, 2017 #77 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nope...I just called when the price went down...They cancelled my cruise and rebooked it at the new price Only rule is it has to happen before final payment 😀 Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk It appears you haven't tead the thread or the OPs original post: he was trying to get the better rate way after final payment. Of cource all lines honor rate changes prior to final payment; the problem in that case could be the loss of promo plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted March 31, 2017 #78 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've been cruising since 1978, and have only had a price reduction once before final payment. I usually book about one year in advance, with a couple of exceptions which were 2 years.After final payment, I don't even look at prices, because I figure they are going down, and I can't do anything about it anyway, so why get upset.

Their secret is that they are talking about changes before final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasi11 Posted March 31, 2017 #81 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have gotten upgrades after final payment on price drops. Sometimes I paid $20 a person or a little more. Always felt like I was accommodated. If the ship is empty, it has to be filled. If when the last day for final payment comes up and the prices are the same as what you are priced at, and the ship seems empty. Cancel. Watch for a steeper drop, especially 6 weeks out. If the ship is very full on that last day of payment, pay it. Then just keep an eye out for upgrades based on the price you paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
