So a few months ago booked two rooms -- same cruise, same room type, same floor, etc -- for an upcoming cruise.  Guests in one of the rooms sailed with Crystal before, the others had not.   Received a 3% Crystal Society discount on the one cruise fare, but the new cruisers were given a $250 credit per person per stateroom. 

So to make math easy if the cruise fare was $10,000 per room, the return guests would receive a $300 discount and the new guests received $500.  The 3% only applied to the fare, whereas the other to excursions or other costs. 

 Does this seem accurate?  Is this typical, or a sales 'trick'?   (perhaps I should say strategy).

Don't forget your all white outfits! Sometimes they have a party one night even though there is not a formal night

Definitely no to offering free wifi. Too expensive for the cruise line, will frustrate a lot of people due to slow speeds, takes away from people spending money, and most importantly - totally changes the onboard experience...

If anything raise the rate for internet connection - keep people off their devices!
