HMSDingy Posted January 10 #1 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Sorry for the somewhat confusing topic heading but it must be the scotch taking effect. We have an August booking for a European cruise and as I haven't made final payment. I keep a keen eye on pricing. Our booking has a balcony on deck 12 on the Island Princess. Just the other day I noticed a considerable price drop. I got on the shoe phone and contacted my agent, who looked into it and said that he could cancel my original booking and get a new one with the price change but with a caveat that we would have to take a guarantee. We have never had a guarantee and we're taking a leap of faith, so as to speak. All told, we would be saving roughly $1500 CAD. I don't know about other folks here on CC, but that would pay for a handful of excursions. We're also flying into Barcelona for a couple of days pre-cruise, and the extra bucks would easily cover our hotel tab. That's all, carry on!

cjpj Posted January 10 #2 Share Posted January 10 If you do not care about cabin location, go for a guarantee cabin. $1500 can go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekel Posted January 10 #3 Share Posted January 10 I booked a guarantee balcony a few months ago and within weeks they had upgraded me to a Premium Deluxe Balcony. I might try it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted January 11 #4 Share Posted January 11 (edited) We have only dealt with a guarantee once, on the Pacific Princess pre-pandemic. We ended up in an un-needed (I hope!) accessible balcony cabin. Edited January 11 by Rick&Jeannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
