joybook Posted October 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Always ask for the reduced fare. They can only can no you don't qualify, but ALWAYS ask. I have had wins several times but I have not experienced this cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why get angry and as we said you may or may not get it as you are in penalty period if you cancel out and rebook Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmiss6253 Posted October 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Happens all the time with everything. Prices fluctuate according to demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted October 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2018 They offer a price and one of the few benefits a consumer has is you get to choose when to accept it. Of course, the earlier you do the better. No guarantee that a better deal doesn’t come later, but you still get the benefit of when you book that you ncan make connecting bookings and start other planning. If something can be offered, great but it’s not something to be expected, or angry if you don’t get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elorac123 Posted October 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My motto no matter what I am buying is if I am happy with the price I paid then it is what it is after that. Best not to look once you made your purchase if it upsets you Cheers Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once arranged to meet someone at a pub we had not been to before. I got the first round - $5 a schooner. My mate got the second round, and came back and said wow the beer is cheap here. Turned out is was now happy hour, with beers now $3 each. Did I get angry? No I laughed, called him a rude name, and made sure we got as many beers in until the price went back to normal :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted October 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My next cruise, NCL hasn’t moved a cent since I booked. And is past final payment. The one after that has gone up about 10%, but still a few months till finals so here’s hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoe 59 Posted October 7, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Our Princess cruise in January hasn't changed in price all year. With only one Princess ship out of Brisbane it isn't likely to. The price is what it is when we book. Sent from my SM-J530Y using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted October 7, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I didn’t reall expect our Hawaii cruse to drop, it seems very popular, and with NCL only in their second season here I wasn’t expecting much to happen (though on NCL guarantee cabins dropped a long way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I laughed, called him a rude name, and made sure we got as many beers in until the price went back to normal :D:D This is exactly the right attitude! When the OP booked they were happy with the price! Same with every single flight or hotel booking, I can promise you 90% of the time you paid more than someone else in the same flight/hotel as you. All businesses run promotions and sales, you win some, you lose some... the price could have went the other way as well. Honestly don’t think you will get a refund or entitled to one, you usually find last minute the cabins are the least desirable, don’t come with perks such as obc etc as well! Just enjoy your cruise and stop checking the price if you know it’s going to upset you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
