WOW is right. Both of our March 2022 Caribbean cruise on the EOS have increased. 

Our B2B March 2022 on EOS has jumped substantially !!!!!

Actually some of our seven booked 2022 cruises have almost doubled

Many thank to the OP!  We've gotten $1852 in OBC on three cruises.  That's a WOW to me.

Thanks also to the OP for the suggestion to price check. We were able to get $450 in reductions spread across half of our future bookings

Received $251 and $75 onboard credit off My Anthem transatlantic next May 🥰

I'm contemplating cancelling my November cruise and rebooking for April on the same itinerary (with an extra day in Miami, but close enough) on the same ship!

This was my first time repricing a cruise and WOW it paid off ! $464 OBC on cruise in Oct to Alaska. 😄

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

[lovescats5]

Would love to get a price decrease but Star Class is booked totally on all our cruises.  Maybe one day.

 

[neverbeenhere]

That is a problem worth having.

 

btw: why do you love scats?

I just repriced my Dec 5th Sailing on the Allure ... the price of a solo boardwalk balcony is $753!!!! And I get quadruple points. It's a win-win.

Just saved a BUNCH on two cabins for our Holiday cruise (like $1000 on one room - a double and $2000 on the other room - a triple), plus got $100 OBC for each cabin.  Maybe I paid too much to start with, but the price adjustment now is exciting!  I say. . . just call and ask, the worse they can say is you already have the best price!

Can you reprice cruise,  using the BOGO60; if you booked into group with travel agent?

Yes   They have to do it for you

[dmwnc1959]

My single-occupancy dropped by almost $800. I’m in a balcony cabin with a bigger balcony, and also got $50 OBC. Paid off my balance a few weeks ahead of time, I was so happy! 

 

[Betatlake]

@Molly361  Can you get the crown and anchor discount with the BOGO60 repriced cruise?

[vegas7df]

Price reduction on 2 cruises in October 2022, $600.00 in total. Yeah!

I’m on hold with a rep.  My price hasn’t changed, but there is now onboard credit.  They are saying I am not eligible because I got a balcony discount for being Platinum.  This was my first booking as Platinum.  Do they always give a discount for balcony or only as a promotion with Platinum and up?

 

Also, my delightful (snark) rep started the discussion by saying I wasn’t eligible for the onboard credit on any of the 3 rooms I have booked for our Aug ‘22 Alaska cruise because it was not a new reservation.  After pulling up my reservation he said, rather obnoxiously, “And this isn’t a new reservation, is it?”  I asked for his name and his tone immediately changed.

I had 3 cruises repriced. I am not inside final payment so the difference was credited back to my card. These were not new bookings. I am D+. Your rep is mistaken.

You can't get BOTH the balcony discount and the OBC it's either one or the other.  TA's were told that they are working on making them combinable but who knows when that will happen

Think I misunderstood your question due to my experience with under-trained TA's who said I was not eligible for the WOW sale since this wasn't a new booking. When repriced there is a potential to lose previous OBC. If you are past final payment that is usually when the discount is applied as additional OBC. I always go with whatever gives the best overall cost.

 

@molly361 is correct. They are "working" on combining status balcony discounts with promotional discounts.

Add more info.

Just repriced a cruise with a balcony discount. No OBC abut the price that was discounted included the OBC value. It seems like you have to get the right rep.

[Heidi6819]

Thank you for the insight!

[Mapleleafforever]

Originally booked a connecting JS on Indy for Feb 2021 at just under $3200 total for 2 adults and 2 kids. L&S'd to Odyssey Feb 2022 and all suites currently sold out. Can get a balcony for around $4700 though.....prices have shot up that much?

I just tried booking a 7 night trip and it showed $100 obc for balcony but when I entered my C&A no. and residency the obc disappeared. Does the balcony discount negate the WOW obc?  

When I called I was told you cannot get OBC AND your earned balcony discount. Makes RC "perks" not so perky. They want loyal customers but refuse to honor perks you have earned by being loyal.  This is my opinion. I am fully aware it may not match others.
