We booked thru Cruise Club UK and found out the price of our cruise dropped £200 just after final payment. I was mad as hell. I rang CC UK but they wouldnt do anything to help us. They just kept saying "for new bookings only". I was extremely disappointed with CC UK and RCI.

I would send an email to RCI and inform them. If you look at your booking conditions then under I think section 9 it says that if the price drops more than I think 2% then they will apply this to your booking.
The only problem might! be if cc UK took a no of rooms and then sold them heavily discounted then they might say that they had a heavily discounted in the first place.

I had several price drops and an over 55 discount applied to my Transatlantic on Millennium in March.

The TA will not like it particularly and RCI won't do anythink without your TA doing it on your behalf.

Go back to them and quote from the rules! Good Luck

lesleyfb- go to the RCCL site and go through the reservation process. If the price of your cruise comes up as cheaper than you paid and it does not show the disclaimer ' for new reservations only' then DEMAND,don't ask,your travel agent to obtain the price reduction for you.
I watched prices carefully on my cruise and called and got two price reductions.... I was hoping for a third but hadn't noticed the * at the bottom of the page that showed it was a new reservation price special.
Keep checking- prices go up and down. Don't accept the TA's not wanting to do anything for you- write or call RCCL and get the correct info. Tell them your TA won't act for you.

Does anyone know if these reductions would apply to P & O as well?

P&O are now owned by Carnival and I am not sure. If you read through the contract at the back of the brochure look at price changes and see what it says.
X says under I think 1.9 that if the price comes down by over 2% they will refund you this difference. You have to ask for the reduction if you book directly through P&O and if not then your TA needs to do this for you.

Good luck. I have just booked a BTB 12 nights on the QM2 for a fantastic price and have checked out with Cunard that alll my details ref on's etc and room allocation is there and all is well. Off on the 12th July
22nd October on Century for 11 nights and this was a reduced price also.

Ask around.

Yes, some great deals around. I have just called a couple of numbers from P262 teletext for the 12 nights 18 June Millenium from Venice to Barcelona on behalf of my sister.

One of them has inside cabin at £829, flight early morning Gatwick.

The other one has only outside at £999, same flight.

Apparently all the £689's, if they were ever really that price, went yesterday!
