Booked during WOW, apply for price drop?

[LibertyCruiser]

Hi Royal experts :)

 

It's been a while since we cruised with Royal. But last time we booked during a WOW sale and got a US$100 on board credit. When we applied for price drops the onboard credit stayed with the booking.

 

We booked during the recent WOW sale and got a US$75 on board credit. Price just dropped CA$60 ($30/pp). But when I tried to have the new price applied the CSR told me I would lose the onboard credit if the new price was applied. Have things changed or was the CSR mistaken?

 

Final payment is 07 DEC 2018.

 

TIA,

LC

When you get a price drop you get whatever promo is in effect that day

When you reprice a cruise you reprice under the rate rules you are changing to. So if you book when part of the offer is $100 OBC, but then reprice with $50 price drop but zero OBC, you lose the OBC. Need to add up all the perks and see what is most valuable. We booked a cruise which included BOGO drink package. But we were 6 adults and 5 kids under 12. I was paying for the cruise. Then a "kids sail free" program appeared. We lost the BOGO drink packages, and the adult prices went up. BUT, my net savings was $2000. And that was AFTER paying the additional for the drink packages. You just need to factor each perk to the cost to see if it's worth it.

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

 

I'm sure we got to keep the WOW OBC last time. Maybe things changed. Or maybe I'm losing it ...

When you called for the price drops the last time they probably had a different promo running that offered the OBC.
