cmdrfrag Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hey guys, so I was a lurker on the boards for about a year I'd say before I decided to create an account and start posting. One thing I noticed in this time was the talk of booking a cruise now and then if the price comes down, reprice it and get it cheaper. From what I can see this ins't something we can do in the UK and when we book we're locked in with the price/deal we got at the time. Does anyone know why this is? Is this something specific within trading standards within the US that perhaps the UK doesn't have or is this country specific with Royal Caribbean and they have to allow or activate the ability to reprice without penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason12 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 You cannot reprice same deal but you can ungrade or downgrade, example, we booked our Oasis cruise with free airfare but when the prices dropped we saved £500pp by buying our own flight and booking a GTY.. also deposits are non refundable if you cancel this is due to UK terms nothing to do with RC. cmdrfrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princevaliantus Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Also, make sure when you pay off the cruise that the credit card you use does not charge you foreign transaction fees as what you think you might have saved in reality you end up paying it in these fees. cmdrfrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys, that gives me something to think about X that by 7 and it’s a massive saving for our family, and ironically we all ended up with a better balcony cabin than we first booked, we all booked boardwalk balcony and ended up with oceanview balcony cmdrfrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrfrag Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yikes, that is a good saving you got then. So, question, because we booked our during the "One Big Sale" are we able to reprice now that that's over? I take it we would lose whatever added Packages/incentives we got as part of our original booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it playing the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdrfrag Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 @princevaliantus Yea I thought that would be how it goes, makes sense Thanks for that @Jason12 Oh didn't know you would end up swapping cabins. Hmm, more food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
