Christie Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 So last week I put a deposit on 2 junior suites side by side with 3 ppl in each room under the regular BOGO. I went online this morning to see if they were cheaper with the BOGO Further (my guest is the 3rd person in each room would be cheaper). Unfortunately, when I search for 3 people, it shows no rooms are available. So I need to call, right? Won't they technically release my rooms and then try to rebook them? This makes me nervous!!

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah, if you reprice the booking they will rebook it but they won't release the rooms when they do that. They have a way of holding onto the rooms while they rebook/reprice the cruise. I wouldn't worry if you have them do it. I would worry if you were trying to do this yourself...so calling is by far the best thing to do if you think you can reprice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwlawlor Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I found a cheaper price and called. They just changed rate and I still have the same room. I got the new rate. it took all of 3 minutes. I got an email confirming changes before I got off the phone. Call and see what they say. You can just keep it the same. Lisa.

whitsmom Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 We booked thru a travel agent with the BOGO but now they have added on board credit. We called our travel agent and she got the on board credit added and we kept our same rooms. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not sure about price..but isnt this BOGO worse for the OBC...pretty sure the last one was 50% higher for Inside, Ocean and balcony bookings..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBird Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Scenarios like this are why I always book with a travel agent. Let them deal with re-booking and figuring out what the best deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's what I thought it's lower except for suite cat..... I don't use a TA And I am not sure they would check every booking every time a new deal comes out and call me if its a better deal? Wouldn't they have thousands of bookings to check every time a new promo comes out with a particular cruise company....I just check myself and call for the better deal if it is a better deal!

I cannot speak for every TA out there, but mine does. They at least check when a new promotion comes out to see if there is any benefit to change. It's in a TA's best interest to provide excellent service, such as re-pricing, since they want to give their clients the perception they are an asset to them.

monctonguy Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 wow....that's a lot of work....I mean a TA at any given time could have a thousand cruises booked. I can't imagine the work of checking everyone's booking for the next 2 years each time each cruise line comes out with a new promo or sale which is about every month.

OBX Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just curious, but has anyone ever gotten an OBC and a C&A balcony discount together on any of these promotions? Seems we have in the past but I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think I got both a couple of years back but pretty sure they have been not allowing the combination since the BOGO BS started early last year .... or was that the year before ?
