Did use a agent or book directly?

HI Chiliburn. I booked directly. I naively thought it was the best/simplest/cheapest way to do it, and that they would honour their price drop online. I think . I have since learnt that a travel agent is better - but I had thought a travel agent would be worse for the cruise line, as they need to pay commission. Anyway, I guess I live and learn. You are a veteran cruiser it seems - 1400 posts!!! 

Thanks Banzaii. Much appreciated. You're right. I will do my maths and bite the bullet. 

I thought there might be loophole, but doesn't appear to be!

Is cancelling and rebooking an option?  What are the cancelation fees like?

Thanks - unfortunately not, our deposit was $1400!

HI

We booked our Celebrity Cruise months ago through the Australian website. Now price has gone down over $1000 and a perk added, so we are $1800 down the gurgler (or so it feels). Even though there is a 'price guarantee' on the website I access here, turns out this is only for Americans, not Australians. 

has anyone had any luck with securing a price drop/price guarantee? We have paid deposit only so far.

I am looking at booking Solstice for next January school holidays travelling with Mr 13. We were on Explorer of the Seas this Xmas jut gone and he loved meeting at teen club so much, and I was worried there might not be many youngsters on Solstice! Thanks for all the advice/feedback!
