Royal Caribbean recently instituted a program that will be of interest to those who watch the price of their cruise religiously after they've booked.
Called their "Price Guarantee", if a lower fare is advertised by Royal Caribbean, they will either credit you the difference in cost provided you are outside the final payment period, or, if the booking is inside the final payment period, provide the difference as an onboard credit or via upgrade options.
There's some fine print, but nothing out of the ordinary: the price guarantee is only available to United States and Canadian citizens; is only valid up to 72 hours prior to departure, and credit can only be used for the same ship, sailing date, and number of guests.
While the idea of requesting a price reduction before final payment isn't particularly new, the ability to request an onboard credit or category upgrade after final payment is, and we applaud Royal Caribbean for thinking outside the box.
More details about the program are available here.
