P&O dropped fare less than 3 days after final payment

I buy a camera at JB HiFi.....a day later it goes on special...them's the breaks !

Um bad example! JB have price guarantee and will refund the difference.

Well...,

For an update to this.

I had a call from the foreign sales supervisor looking after me from P&O, she advised that in good faith they will be refunding the difference ($600).

I have asked for it to be put on as OBC which she agreed to. :D:D:D:D:D

 

Happy Chappy I am..:p

Proves, you can only ask and sometimes you get the right answer. Sometimes the answer you get gives you your next tactic.

Strange you had to ask them to do OBC.

LOL.;p

Wonderful, and now we will all expect the same treatment should it occur to us.

Just tell them: "But you did it for Suitesrbest!"

Good plan but I might need more details.

Yes, they were going to refund to credit card but will be spending the money on board anyhoo.

I think that the majority of people would want the money (that amount anyway) in their account rather than as OBC as it may likely be put as non-refundable OBC. In any case, if you will spend the money on board then it makes no difference as long as you actually get it..

There are two ways to book cruises - the expensive way and the cheap way.

THE EXPENSIVE WAY, Book early to ensure you will be on your desired cruise, book a particular cabin on a particular ship going to a particular destination on a particular day.

THE CHEAP WAY - Book very late (after final payment day) - book a "guarantee" cabin on any ship going anywhere at any time of the year.

Neither of these two ways are completely satisfactory - but you have to do whatever is most important for you.

BTW - it is now a long time since we had "fixed prices" for things in Australia - I would hate to have to go back to those days - I am personally very supportive of the cruiseline companies efforts to fill up their ships before sailing

The cheap way - book after final payment and get a cabin allocation, at a good price. Too late, closer to sailing, you may find you can only book a guarantee cabin and/or the price may increase, depending on last minute demand.

Not always Baz, my three Princess cruises for next year, went up 10% to 25% a couple of weeks after I booked them. I don't like GTY cabin anyway, you can end up with a dud, prefer to pick our own, early.:o

To be honest this is the second time we got something back due to a price drop..

September 2016 happened nearly the same way.

It was about a $100 difference (3 day short break) and called up, received a $50 OBC.

Didn't think it was so rare!! Will be buying that lottery ticket !!!;p

Why blow your money on lottery tickets, when you can play bingo or go to the Casino with your OBC on the ship.

Yes, great idea, I will use some of the OBC for bingo.. I don't mind a game of bingo on a cruise with the kids.:halo:

The snowball part sucks on P&O, it is what it is I guess..

I get myself into much trouble when I go to the Casino.

Could've paid for a lifetime of cruising with the money I have given to Casino on board a number of Cruise ships..:eek::o

Goodness, we only ever play with a $10 or $20 limit and maybe only do it every other day. If there are winnings, we often pull it out and get a drink.

Well a few loosener's help get the gambling going.:o

Do enjoy continually proving to DH that my roulette is more profitable than his poker, despite his claim that roulette is pure luck and no skill.

Ooops, veering us further off topic.
