Lose all Next Cruise OBC when requesting price drop??

[pghflyer]

Compared to the other major lines, the "cruise next" deal is pretty weak at RCL.  First you only have 2 months to choose a booking and get any bonus OBC, otherwise you have 10 more months after that to just get back what you gave them towards a booking. Plus using the "cruise next" makes your fare non-refundable with penalties and charges for changes.  I never book on board because they can never match the amount of TA OBC, so I have never bought these until recently....but my understanding is once I book it, if I change it, I will lose my "bonus OBC" (if I even got it) and will pay change fees.

If booked in the US, there’s no change fee if you keep the same ship/date. 
 

If you move to another ship/date you pay $100pp penalty. 
 

You should keep the on board booking OBC with any change or move. 
 

You can book on board to the get OBC, transfer to a TA and get their OBC on top of that.

Just realize the date of that post - less likely for price drops like that now.

 

Yup...I barely look any longer.  The prices just keep going up...not down.
