Price drops guide
What to check when a cruise price drops after booking, from matching the exact fare to weighing lost onboard credit, promotions, and change fees before asking for a reprice.
The comparison
A tracked decrease compares two dated published totals for the same sailing. The exact cabin category or subcategory and pricing basis must remain comparable for the change to help a booking decision.
Price-drop email rule
At least $50 and 2% lower
Both thresholds must be met. The first fare creates a baseline; it does not send a price-drop email.
01
Confirm the journey code, exact cabin category or subcategory, occupancy, and published-total basis match.
02
Read the previous and current totals together, then calculate the dollar and percentage decrease.
03
Check the full history to see whether the new fare is a tracked low or a return to its usual range.
Current examples
Each example below has a complete current total, a calculable prior total, and a decrease between 2% and 50%. The list is capped at three.
