CarlaB Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi again everyone! Question that maybe the veteran cruisers have an answer for - today we passed the final payment date on our Nov. Anthem sailing and so I can't call my TA to reprice anymore. However today I noticed the price dropped about another $200 on balcony rooms in our category. Is there anyway to get some of this back as an OBC? Should I contact my TA or call Royal directly? Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Usually once you are past final payment, you cannot re-price. However, if your balcony dropped, then other categories might have dropped too. You could use that difference to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything to upgrade to online though . all suites are sold-out according to their site. Would I have any luck calling them maybe or would it be a waste of time? I thought they could give you additional OBC in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTLH Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Depending on dates you might still be outside the true final payment window. Most TAs have their clients pay prior to the actual date. Rough guess if your sailing is after November 17 you might be in luck. If so, get in touch with your TA asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No unfortunately just passed the final payment for Royal, not the TA's final payment. So looks like I might be out of luck. I might try to call Royal to see if there's an upgrade opportunity and a room that's not listed on their site but, being Sunday, I'm sure the hold will be crazy.

But I would definitely give a call because Royal's site doesn't show all availability. CarlaB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 You can always reprice. The problem is, since you are inside of your final payment date you would be penalized a cancellation penalty (since a repricing is really just a cancellation and rebooking) and it is doubtful that your fare reduction would be enough to cover the cancellation penalty.

cruise-y Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 There's a reason prices drop only after the window for final payment. I always book cruises within the 90 day final payment window. Sometimes the cruise is full and the prices aren't cheaper, but I can't make plans that far out anyway. CarlaB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
