"New" booking credits

[katgilm]

We've already booked a cruise for April. I've received an e-mail about the $200 on board credit for this cruise for new bookings only. It's even in the fine print that you can't cancel and re-book to get the credit. Has anyone managed to get the "new booking" price adjustment and/or on-board credit even though they had already booked? Does complaining about it work? Just looking for ideas on how others may have managed to get the credit. I am feeling a little frustrated that I'll be paying more (or in this case not getting an on-board credit) because I booked early. I guess the trick is not to book early and wait for the deals. (Of course, with kids in school that doesn't really work for us!)

RCL has been very strict about their new booking specials, sorry!
