I almost always book group rates through my TA so I'm already starting at a reduced price. The only time I have gotten a reduction in the last year has been on a cruise in 2025 that I booked a GS on and it dropped a tiny bit. I used to check religiously now, if I have time, I'll go through them once a month. When you book right you don't really have to worry about price drops. Something I've wondered since first reading about group rates: if there is a price drop can you get it? Or are you locked into the already reduced group rate?

My TA group rate has always been lower than Royal's best price even, with "sale events". I normally get to pick my cabin with my TA for less than a Royal GTY which with balconies can be a $500 per person difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just after the retart, I think, Royal added Quantum to Seattle doing Alaska. This was a change that redeployed Quantum from the Asian market. We were already booked on Ovation with a pretty good price through our TA's group space. When the Quantum itineraries dropped, of course that increased supply and lowered the price of all Alaska cruises out of Seattle. Before I even realized there had been a drop my TA emailed me letting me know that there was a drop in the group rate we had already secured. That is the only price reduction I have gotten on group space. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not want to jump on that $20 price drop and then have your booking non refundable vs refundable, although if you are weeks away from final instead of 6 months out that could certainly change your thought process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
