Jenny0609 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 My husband and I without the kids have decided to take a short anniversary cruise in April. We already have a cruise booked for July for the whole family. If I “book” onboard and it’s cheaper will I be able to adjust my current rate for the July cruise? Thanks!

Pattycruise Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 You already have a cruise booked for July? You can check your pricing and if the price has dropped readjust your price at any time. Contact your travel agent or if booked directly through Royal  contact royal.  I check my booked cruise prices by doing a mock booking for the booked cruise.  Be sure to understand if your original price included gratuities or not when doing your comparison. Jenny0609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny0609 Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Thanks, I check for lower price all the time. I have read that you should book your next cruise while onboard because you can get great deals. I just wasn’t sure if they’d allow the onboard deals if it’s a cruise that has already been booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Taking advantage of any onboard perks will only apply to a newly booked cruise. So, if I am understanding your post correctly, you cannot adjust your currently booked July cruise onboard. Like @Pattycruisesaid you can check or have your TA check now for price fluctuations. Jenny0609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyNestTravels Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 You can book onboard with Next Cruise to get the OBC, and then transfer the cruise to your own TA when you get back (within 30 days of booking) if you want your TA to manage the reservation for you. Other than the getting the OBC ($100 for mine), reduced deposit, and some free Royal Caribbean SWAG, I haven't found any "great" benefits to booking onboard with Next Cruise.

steverk Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I just booked a new cruise on board and got a greatly reduced deposit $200 vs $900, $250 obc and some swag. The lower deposit made it worth the risk to go non refundable, which saved about $400. However the bottom line price was the same as booking from home. Therefore, it worked out as a good deal for me, but not incredibly better. I think the original question was about repricing an existing booking while on board. Unless you want to cancel and rebook, I don't think there's any real advantage to doing it on board fmzsep12 and Jenny0609 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
