Reprice Sold out cabin class? (only less expensive cabins available)

[mcdkat]

Is it possible to reprice a cruise if the only thing left in inventory is a lower class of cabin?  Just hoping for a bit on onboard credit.

It's possible but the challenge is knowing if the rate for that exact category has really changed.

For example, it's not unusual for one category of balcony to change while another does not.  This is because many price adjustments are driven by capacity and remaining inventory.  There may (200) 4D balconies and (30) 2D balcony cabins.  The 4D might drop because of excessive inventory that remains unsold while the 2D doesn't change a penny if it is sold out.  If 2D is sold out a price change for 4D is NOT an indicator that 2D has also changed, but maybe it did.

You can call and ask but the answer may be "no change".  Only Royal can look that deep into the system and know for sure.

Also a mock booking might include lower taxes and port fees but changes in taxes are port fees are not available for price adjustments.
