always ask...

[creef1014]

My next trip sails in ~25 days and Carnival just dropped the price. We are well past the final payment date and price adjustments are not allowed by policy. I still called and asked for the new price; they gave me the "policy" line once, I gave them the "nothing you can do?" line once and then almost immediately they matched not just the lower rate but also the new increased OBC offer. Whole call lasted maybe 10 minutes total and it was not even a little bit confrontational. I am now going on this cruise ~$300 richer

 

Lesson learned: it's always good to ask, even when you know the policy is against you, or in the words of Michael Jordan "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
