pasodancer Posted October 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Believe I already know the answer - but am hoping someone else had this situation occur to them: Booked thru TA and of course, there is a nice price drop in Suite that I will gladly pay to upgrade to (am currently in Balcony). I believe only the TA can make changes to my reservation? Am I basically SOL until the agency opens Monday morning? (FYI – past final payment and I’m paid in full. Had to use a TA as we are a large group). Sincere thanks!//Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Stop by early at your TA and leave a note so she can call you at the Dentist, and give you good news that she saved you money. Good luck Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted October 27, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Can you do a 24 hour courtesy hold to lock in the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasodancer Posted October 27, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I called RCI - agent wasn't helpful w/ a hold and would lock out our TA. This calls for patience and a glass of wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loganpaulsmom Posted October 27, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I booked through a TA but the one I used is open 24 hours a day and u can call with your reservation # and any agent can make changes.. I do have one question for you all: ( it looks like you seasoned cruisers could answer) How can I see if the price dropped on my cruise if the only rooms available have less people than are in my room? The total price is always different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been reported that pricing has been all over the place, people owing money on paid off cruises, etc. What you see today may be totally different tomorrow.

pasodancer Posted October 27, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I pay $1 per cruise and it tracks the cruise price for me..........by cabin category, sail date, etc. It emails me the alerts up to the time of sailing. Saves me a LOT of time and energy. check out the site - very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tldarr Posted October 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My TA has always told me to do a print screen of the price reduction and It will be honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
