sheilb4 Posted January 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wanted to share with you all that I was about to make mine today, but decided to ask one last time, re any price changes. Checked every day this past week and nothing, but.......today! Just received $400 decrease in price originally paid, so my balance less $400 was a sweet surprise for my beautiful suite! 2BR ATS. Hope that some of you can benefit from this before your final payment tomorrow. Let me know! Good luck 👍☘️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You're very lucky, I'd go out and buy a lottery card today!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Another reason I wait for the very last day to payoff. Congrats on the discount!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheilb4 Posted January 27, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You're very lucky, I'd go out and buy a lottery card today!:) It’s a first for me, out of many cruises, especially when I was so worried splurging so much, but then a “priceless” reason, as with my elderly (although very energetic) mother, and likely her last cruise with me, so this is super special and worth every cent. I just looked at final invoice and it was actually $600 less! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted January 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2018 So happy for you. Enjoy the cruise with your Mom. We've only had a decrease on ONE cruise in all these years. It was a cruise to Hawaii on RC MANY years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted January 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yes I have. Some wouldn't spend the time looking everyday. I did for over a yr watching prices. Right before final I got a 2bd/2bath all to myself of the Serenade 12 nite BOS/FLL Repo. Was actually $350 cheaper then a D1. To OP Congrats!

Crznut Posted January 28, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If I pay my cruise off before the final payment due date and the price drops before the due date do I get a reduction in price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheilb4 Posted January 28, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If I pay my cruise off before the final payment due date and the price drops before the due date do I get a reduction in price? I don’t think so, I certainly wouldn’t take that chance and would wait until 1-2 days before final due, that’s what I did. Once you have made full payment, I believe that’s it.

Clarea Posted January 28, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If I pay my cruise off before the final payment due date and the price drops before the due date do I get a reduction in price? Yes, they will normally give you a choice of OBC or credit to your credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that you will be ok if you do pay full in advance. I would have been nervous to do that but then I usually wait until the last minute to pay full amount due, and hold back on that credit card interest as long as I can, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjaden Posted January 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I usually pay in full when I book and can still take advantage of any price drops prior to the final DUE DATE of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommao729 Posted January 28, 2018 #22 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Congratulations! If your price drops can can you get that adjusted. Or do they have to reprice at current sale and I will lose my obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they have to reprice at current sale and I will lose my obc. Not sure how it all works as my final invoice with updated pricing was different, except the port taxes. My discounts from original booking had changed too. So must have been from current sale.....OBC was only $100 and current sale is the same (which was the lowest ever, on RCCL) so if I lose that it won’t be a big deal. It’s still showing on final invoice tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 28, 2018 #24 Share Posted January 28, 2018 No reason to. It's the date final payment is "due" not the date you decide to make final payment. I of course realize that....but find it so much easier to call to have my balance reduced when I see the pricing fall on my cruise up until final payment date. Which is why I wait until final payment "due date". No reason to pay it off early that I can see. Easier to ask for the reduction than beg for a refund. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfanatic Posted January 28, 2018 #25 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If I pay my cruise off before the final payment due date and the price drops before the due date do I get a reduction in price? Absolutely!. It makes no difference when you pay in full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
