Help--price Drop After Final Payment-costa

[RNcruise]

Does anyone know about getting a refund/onboard credit if the price for your category is dropped after final payment. We booked through a TA on a group booking (even though we booked 1 room). Since then, on the websites (cruise.com, cruisesonly.com, *****.com, etc...) the price for our room has dropped 300 dollars. However, the price on the official costa website is still the same as it was 3 months ago(325 more than we paid) Your advice/help is greatly appreciated.:)

According to the cruise contract, they are not legally obligated to give you anything once final payment has been made. Plus, you booked at the group price, so again, that's another strike against you. Third, those discount places are probably forgoing their commissions to give the lower price, and since it's not Costa offering the lower price, you cannot ask for anything. IF it was Costa lowering their price, you can ask for a room credit, but since it's another travel agency, and not the cruise line, offering the lower price, you're out of luck.

 

Again, and I cannot stress this enough, it's not Costa offering the lower price, but online travel agencies, so you're not entitled to the lower price unless Costa itself, lowers the price and not a travel agent.

Thank you for your comment. That's exactly what I thought, but it never hurts to ask. We usually don't have to worry about any of this b/c our dates are flexible, and we tend to book last min (or when you can't help but book b/c of the price). But this vacation had to be this exact week (spring break). I'm still very happy with the price we paid months ago, b/c it's the best we saw for spring break for this cat balcony.:) We've had nothing but good luck in the past with booking last min, so after this one, we'll go back to it. Thank you for your fast reply.
