Why, oh why, oh why, can’t RCCL be like Celebrity? The price is the price is the price. I really get tired of having to monitor price ups and downs several times a day. I am a retired accountant and my SO is a retired CPA. We look at this nonsense and have reached the conclusion that they are spending more in staff time calculating this than they are gaining in sales.

It's probably a computer algorithm doing the price changes automatically.

This is where I get a little upset. Why give diamond plus 30% off on board when most times there is a sale everyone can enjoy. It’s getting like the bogo on oasis class where anyone can get the dinner discounts.

 

If you want to appreciate your loyal cruisers, then up the anti.

You get the discount without the hassle of watching sales every week and cancelling/rebooking/etc... Also, the drink package, even at a discount, requires an average of 4-6 drinks a day... every day... for every adult in the room (ez for me, but not for some)... Diamond Plus gets 3 free drinks and an unlimited amount daily in the lounge for your happy hour. Also, Diamond Plus gets a few more 'perks' than that..

Not to mention the % they pay to the credit companies every time a purchase and return transaction is processed.
