SandiLynn Posted February 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The price of my cruise just went down $100ish but it's after final payment. We normally cruise with Carnival and they will give you onboard credit for the difference If you call and ask for it. I have done this on two of six cruises, both after final payment. Does Royal? We are on Majesty 4/11. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awestover89 Posted February 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Nothing after final payment, but you can upgrade if the price of a higher tier cabin goes down (still no refund or OBC) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted February 7, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It depends. We once had a cruise where the price went down the next day after final payment and we called and they gave us some OBC (not the difference, but it was nice). It never hurts to ask, but I wouldn't have high expectations if it's been some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted February 7, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Years ago possible, or OBC, now...Nope! As said if higher Cat cabin is lower then what you paid. But remember Many sales including GGG are for new bookings only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsme1 Posted February 7, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Received a $272 refund and $100 OBC yesterday, a week after our final payment for a May 2020 cruise. We were surprised. Give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianogrl44 Posted February 7, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It’s definitely worth a try but not guaranteed. We upgraded to a better room that dropped in price after final payment last fall and still got a credit card refund for the difference in price. I was shocked!

If you make your final payment before the due date then you'll get a refund for the difference. If you are past the final payment due date then there is no compensation.

We did get a 1K discount a few days ago on a suite. It was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made the final payment on the day it was due, not before. I didn’t think we could get any refunds, let alone OBC after that date, but we did.

You were not at the final payment due date yet Then I wonder why out TA said they were taking the final payment on 1/28 of the payment wasn’t due? Yes, tomorrow it will be 90 days. Either way I’m glad we made out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA's can ask for final payment any time they feel like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you made the final payment the day the TA said it was due which is usually a week or more prior to Royals final payment date. Your sailing on Ovation May 7 would not have final payment due to Royal until tomorrow, 90 days prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
