If your cruise price drops...

Maybe I just got lucky then. Price drop happened 48 days before sailing, and TA did not indicate that she had to to any pleading/convincing/arguing to make it happen. She just told me that they said yes & refunded the money. Maybe it was because we were concierge or the CM she got on the phone just made a mistake.

Several have posted here that they had the same thing happen to them. It was a regular price drop though, not a GT rate. We knew several people on one of our cruises who got price adjustments based on the rate dropping about a month out from our cruise. Also, you can change your category for the same price it was the day you booked your cruise, since you lock in the prices for every category at that time. You can go down and get a refund, or upgrade at the old price difference.

On our first cruise (a KSF out of Galveston) the price of the cruise dropped by about $300 after the PIF date and I was able to get that $300 back. I had to do a little fancy footwork with our online reservation but I was able to do it.

I've seen cruise price drops that sometimes I think are just plain mistakes.

Case in point: the March 15th, 2014 sailing of the Fantasy went down by a solid 20% off of release date prices for a few hours of June 17th-18th. It made the sailing the same price as an off-season cruise for peak season (not quite full holiday rates). It went down in the middle of the night.

In all honesty, the prices simply don't go down without a promotion code/offer/restricted rate that often.
