Review summary

NCL failed in their pricing policy. Cruise was reduced after booking and they did not fully compensate the difference. Let the cruiser beware!

I called NCL about a month ago and they took $120 off the price of my cruise. Price dropped yesterday, and I saved another $480!! They were absolutely gracious about all of it

Most cruise lines do not fully match the lower price or offer credit. It’s a chance you take when booking. Sometimes the price drops close to the cruise, but other times it increases. You can always cancel and re-book, but will be subject to any cancellation fees and will have to determine if the difference is worth the hassle. We book a location at a price we are satisfied with and don’t stress over it if the price drops.

We noticed a price drop and called yesterday they only offered 25% which is $25 each when we are losing $100 each. I'm never booking early again.

Happens to me. They will rebook you at the lower price but u pay the cancellation penalty. Im on the dawn next month. I could have saved 200, by paying a 500 penalty, duh! No
