Creator's Key Takeaways

finding price drops after you book is not as common as it once was

if you do find a lower price on a cruise you have already booked the ability to get that price adjusted will depend on whether you are outside of penalties or final payment

Carnival Cruise Line for example offers a special program called early saver under this program requiring a non-refundable deposit you are protected from price drops up to two days before sailing

Creator's Tips & Advice

Call your cruise line or booking agent for a price adjustment if you have not made final payment and penalties have not started
Consider asking for a room upgrade if a higher category is offered at the same or lower price
