D. B. Posted February 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I just found out that Azamara Dropped the Price by Thousands of $ (and added better cabins) for a cruise we booked so I ask my TA to check into it. He said the answer was They do not do price changes on Bookings that have been paid in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2travel90266 Posted February 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I apparently put my response on an old site. Cruise with Confidence appears to have ended last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise with Confidence reflected the uncertainties presented by Covid. At some point things go back too the way they were. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scots Caz Posted February 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 7, 2023 not sure if there is anything new - best price guarantee was in place for US and Canada for some time. - not available for UK....if drops (even before final payment) you have to cancel, lose your deposit and rebook (so need to factor in if worth it) the temporary Cruise with Confidence was great but like other transport benefits that offered additional flexibility during covid, it has ended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2travel90266 Posted February 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Then booking on board is a benefit as you risk the initial deposit of 50% of the normal one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted February 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Depends if it was paid in full per the cruise line final payment date or paid in full per the agents final payment date which in some case can be anything up to six weeks earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the small print. Non-cruise, but relevant. In the UK we've had tiny-deposit holidays, but that was a cover for what was actually just a part payment of a deposit at the old level. If you cancelled, they came after you for the unpaid difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never wanted to get popped for making the last minute deals, but they lived it with when ships were barely sailing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
java spot Posted February 8, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think your TA could request some extra OBC or some other compensatory good will gesture. I am fairly sure that is what has happened to me in similar situations. (which seem to happen quite frequently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
