NEXT CRUISE PRICING

[tottenhamfc]

Today I checked a price online for a cruise and thought great I can swap out from an oceanview to a Balcony at basically the same price. It also states that for a balcony that the OBC would be 200 instead of 100. The trouble is that the price for repricing Next cruise is 1000 more expensive than a conventional booking. So, I would have to cancel my booking and lose my deposit plus relinquish OBC in order to facilitate the change. From a price perspective it works, but, it is not how this was sold at the Next Cruise desk onboard. I really do not understand how this was originally booked at conventional prices, but with repricing they have a myriad of different possibilities. Please guide me or tell me what I am missing.

Talk to someone else - how you booked should not matter when it comes to an upgrade.

I agree but they spoke with a supervisor and basically said I would have to cancel and rebook which would compromise the deposit and OBC. I have been on 20 RCL cruises and never have booked onboard. This is new to me.

Again, unless the price you are looking at has some restrictions (like it's on the GGG flier which is usually only for new bookings) how you booked doesn't matter for upgrades - call back.

If you have been on 20 cruises you are likely D or D+.  Call the Crown and Anchor numb er and ask your question again.

 

I did a paid upgrade on my last cruise [July].  the amount I paid was just less than the minimum Royal Up bids.  It was a no brainer to go that way.

I was going to but the last time I called them they said that I had to talk to the vacation planner. I will give it another shot. Thanks for the input.
