Quick question - might be dumb!

[Cruisin Around]

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but does RCI have a policy that if your cruise has a price drop in the 30 days prior to your sailing, that they won't give you the drop? My brother's travel agent told him that.

RC won't give you a price drop if the new price is for new bookings only like for their Tues. Special Event sale. Regular price dropped even within 30 days of sailing will be honored.

No difference in price drop policy for RCI whether it is 2 days from sailing or 200. As mentioned in prior post if it is a special Tuesday sale it won't be honored but anything else should be.

 

On the other hand, a TA may charge for a price drop or not allow, but that is their policy not Royal's. A good thing to ask prior to booking with a TA (how they handle price drops) especially with the economy the way it is now!

I thought that was the policy that it didn't matter how many days. This is not a special pricing event, but the new price. It's actually crazy because the balconies are now the same price as the interior cabins!

If I were you (or your brother), I'd present this information to the TA. The TA may be dragging their feet because it will affect their commission. Why not upgrade to a balcony, then both parties will be happier :)

Why not upgrade to a balcony.

 

That's what I'd do. Wow............a balcony cabin for the price of an inside cabin. What a deal.
