Already booked a cruise? Fares change after you book, and cruise lines almost never tell you. Tell us your ship, sail date, cabin type, and what you paid — we check your exact sailing against the CruiseHub fare feed once a day and email you the moment the price drops enough to act on, along with the price-protection verdict for your line: whether you can reprice, get a refund, or claim onboard credit.

Which cruise lines we track
Fare tracking works on the lines present in our CruiseHub feed: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC, Celebrity, Princess, Disney. Each line's price-protection rules differ — here is what each one actually offers when the fare drops.
| Line | Program | Before final payment | After final payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carnival | Early Saver | Reprice to the lower fare | — |
| Royal Caribbean | Best Price Guarantee | Reprice to the lower fare | Upgrade |
| Norwegian Cruise Line | No formal program | Reprice to the lower fare | Onboard credit |
| MSC Cruises | No formal program | Ask by phone — no formal rule | — |
| Princess Cruises | Better Than Best Price Guarantee | Onboard credit (120% of the difference, capped at $2,000 per stateroom) | — |
| Disney Cruise Line | No formal program | Ask by phone — no formal rule | — |

How the tracking works
- You tell us the sailing, cabin type, and fare you paid (plus deposit and fare type — they change your options).
- Every day we pull the current public fare for that exact sailing and cabin from the CruiseHub feed.
- If the fare is at least $50 below what you paid, we email you the drop, the line's price-protection verdict, and the exact claim script to use.
- Drops of $150 or more also trigger a text message if you opted in to SMS and confirmed it — SMS only goes to double-opted-in numbers.
- No spam: after an alert, we only email again if the fare hits a new low or drops another $50+ from the last price we told you about.
What we won't do
- We never invent prices or claim a drop happened without a tracked fare behind it — every alert quotes the real fare we pulled that day.
- We don't promise refunds. Whether you're owed money depends on your line, fare type, and final-payment status — the verdict email tells you honestly, including when the answer is "no".
- We don't charge you anything. The tracker is free; an email address is required so we can send the alert, and every email includes an unsubscribe link.
Fare drop tracker — common questions
Will the cruise line lower my fare automatically when the price drops?
No. Cruise lines almost never reprice an existing booking on their own — you have to notice the drop and file a claim under the line's price-protection rules. That is exactly the gap this tracker closes: we watch your sailing daily and email you the moment a claimable drop appears.
What do I actually get when my fare drops?
It depends on your line, fare type, and whether you are past final payment. Before final payment most lines will reprice the booking or refund the difference; after final payment the usual outcomes are onboard credit or an upgrade, and some lines offer nothing formal at all. The cheat sheet on this page shows the rules per line, and your drop email spells out which outcome applies to your booking.
What if I booked through a travel agent or Costco?
Most price-protection claims on agency bookings must be filed by the agent, not by you directly. Your drop email flags this when it applies, so you can forward the exact fare details to your agent instead of doing the research yourself.
Can I lose my perks if I reprice?
Possibly. Repricing into a new promotion can forfeit perks attached to your original fare — onboard credit, cabin assignment, or upgrade eligibility, depending on the line. Your verdict email includes a perk-risk check for your line so you can decide whether the drop is worth it before you call.
Is the fare drop tracker really free?
Yes. You never pay Travel Mutiny. We earn a commission from our cruise partner only if you choose to rebook or transfer a booking through them — the tracker itself costs nothing and every email has an unsubscribe link.
