Lyndz Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 My question is if you book through Next Cruise while on a ship, are you still able to reprice later if the price drops? Also does repricing affect the On Board Credit you get for booking onboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverk Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 You can reprise. In fact, I think there's a low price guarantee that's better than what you get when booking on land. The obc is for the cruise you are booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 repricing does not impact your OBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually repriced three cruises that were originally booked through Next...my travel agent got the booking...and...while I got the lowered price on all three I kept the exact amount of my OBC. I currently have one of those three left to complete, January 2023, and booked two more during 2023 during our last cruise. Obviously I am hoping for the chance to see a reduction although my January cruise came down so much on a JS that I don't expect that one to change.

twangster Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Next Cruise OBC is protected during a reprice. Promotional OBC is not. I've booked cruises on board during a promotion when all guests received some OBC like $75. If I had booked this cruise on land I would have received $75 because that was the promotion running that week. I received Next Cruise OBC like $100 and I received promotional OBC like $75 for a total of $175 in OBC. During a reprice later on the Next Cruise OBC was protected - the $100. The promotional OBC is lost during a reprice unless there is some other promotional OBC offered while repricing.

I have taken my list with cruise dates, prices and specific rooms. Next pulls up the same info...so...you aren't getting a bigger discount using Next but you are booking with $100 down per person and picking up some onboard credits. I usually am booking cruises at least 6 months, and at times a year or more, ahead of sail date. Then the agent takes over watching pricing/deals. So far every Next cruise I have booked, sample size of 6 or 7 that has been completed, has been repriced to a lower rate. Last March was a good month for me as three of my future cruises all saw lower prices for the cabin type I had booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlyn3 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 FYI- Be careful with the Next Cruise "Book Later" program. I did that in August thinking it was the same deal but it is not. THe only benefit is the reduced deposit. There was no onboard credit- and looking back at the fine print- it never said there would be.

I've booked with those before Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCruise7 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 We're on the Explorer on the 23rd Oct, we've already mentioned booking a cruise for next year, do you get cheaper deals when booking on the ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. On board credit and reduced deposit. The price is whatever it is for the cruise you select. That said it can be fun to check out options. Be clear if you want refundable deposit.
