Can you cancel and rebook the same cruise??

[gerelmx]

I noted that my Eclipse cruise 03-18-18 the price for our cabin dropped $600 since we booked it.

Celebrity does not give me any information because I booked with a TA they only tell me call to your TA.

I have had my cruise fare reduced by my TA when the cruise fare dropped without having to cancel and rebook. I have also upgraded from Concierge to Aqua without paying any more and keeping my cabin, perks and OBC. Call as ask your TA. The worst they could say is no, but if you don't ask, then the answer is definitely no. Good luck.

One of the potential negatives of dealing with a TA. If all the perks, if any are the same, then should be no problemo

We have had our cabin re-priced when price decreases have occurred prior to final payment.

 

We have also cancelled a cruise just prior to final payment and then re-booked it at a significantly reduced price during the final payment period-in this instance about 45 days out. Ended up with a better cabin and a better price. It is a risk but we now typically take by booking inside the final payment window.

 

Some TA's have a service charge for re-pricing, cancelling, etc. We won't deal with an agency that does this.

Your TA could work out something for you. One of the reason one engages the services of a TA.

Call your TA and tell them what you found. If you have a specific cabin in mind (do a test booking to see what's available) tell them to ask for that.

 

If it's the same package, you should be able to keep it. It's also very possible you can get a much better cabin (better location, etc) for the same price you had been paying.

 

We didn't use a TA for this upcoming cruise, but when I noticed prices had dropped I call Celebrity and went from an obstructed balcony to Concierge Class for $40 (total, not per person). Same go best perks, but a MUCH better deal overall.

 

If I'd used a TA I would have told them and they would have called, but that's the only difference. On previous cruises where I did use a TA, that's how it works. You tell them, they call.

I recognize you from another thread about difficulties with a TA, so I see why you haven't called. I think your only recourse in this case is to call and hope they will handle this for you. I would call immediately and maybe take a screen shot of the new price to back up your request. I have had better luck, slightly, with Melissa than the others.

We have a booking where there have been 4 price drops since we booked in June. Two price drops in the past week. I just call our TA and they take care of it.

Thank you all for your answers, I call my TA , the following is his answer to my question:

 

While you are not in cancellation charges you can cancel the reservation request the refund and re-book with the new promotion.

Just a comment like you buy with a lot of anticipation, this can not be doing each that lower the rates or Put new promotions. The shipping company considered as mismanagement, only allowed once.

 

I think it would be best to wait until the final payment date approaches.

Another question I also purchase shore excursions, beverages and internet. if I decide to cancel and re-book all purchases will be automatically cancelled or do I need to cancel them before

[gerelmx]

I'm very happy my TA just called me I have bee upgraded from inside GTY to veranda GTY (maybe 2c) and $30 less

[OCruisers]

Our TA has always worked this sort of thing out for us. :)

Congratulations! Sounds like your TA just upgraded you to an equivalent category matching $$$ what you originally paid. Easier to do than to deal with you cancelling and rebooking, or giving a refund. ;)

I take a screen shot and email it to my TA. TA puts the cabin/suite on hold with the new prices. The only thing that my TA has said is if we cancel and rebook we might need to use a different credit card. Or maybe try a new TA.

[dutchclogs]

^new credit card? Is this to get around 'new bookings only 'condition? Agree that perhaps a new TA might be the way to go. I understand that some TAs will charge admin fees to cancel/rebook so good to check this out before booking.

[phoenix_dream]

Is the question specific as to whether the re-booked cruise can be considered a 'new booking' for purposes of prices and other perks? Celebrity used to not allow this, but I think that has changed. Can anyone confirm that?

 

I also prefer working with a TA and even if they have some kind of cancellation and/or change fee, it might still be well worth it given the perks they often offer. Need to consider all aspects. I may find a TA that does not charge a cancel fee, but if their perks are not as good I am still net saving by using the TA that does charge.

To get around this all you have to do is book a different cabin type. I have done that before, no issues. DH and I thought we couldn't cruise, found out we could, so we canceled, rebooked (under a promo) but upgraded the cabin (it was cheaper) and we received all the perks. This was all through a TA.
