Royal Caribbean's Best Price Guarantee

Royal Caribbean is trying increase earlier sales by allowing clients to get prices reduced (if they are eligible) up to 72 hours prior to departure.

My Vacation Lady has always offered this service.
What are your thoughts about it?

"Our Best Price Guarantee is our committment to you. When you book with Royal Caribbean and subsequently find a lower fare advertised by us, we will honor that rate by applying an onboard credit to the reservation equal to the price difference. For reservations outside of final payment period, the onboard credit may be replaced, upon request, with a reduction to the outstanding balance or a refund as applicable.

To be eligible, the fare must be a) available for the same ship, sailing, category and number of guests as the current booking; b) be available at the time the request for rate conversion is made; and c) a rate the current booking would be eligible to receive, if any special restrictions apply. Price protection will not be available within 72 hours of departure. Price protection will be available for most fare types with the exception of Royal Sales Event and Exciting Deals; Travel Agent, Interline or Industry Reduced Rates; Employee rate programs; and a select number of price programs and promotions for new bookings only, as specified in the price program detail. Price protection will be subject to the prevailing taxes and fees and/or fuel supplement, if applicable.

Highlights:
• No forms to fill out
• Book anytime and know you are protected up until 72 hours prior to departure
- Outside of final payment - Upgrade options, Onboard Credit, or price reduction (refund if applicable)
- Inside final payment - Upgrade options or Onboard Credit"
