kelikea Posted March 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My husband was just browsing around on a travel website looking at random cruises and came across this one cruise out of Malaga, Spain on the Royal Caribbean Adventures of the Seas on June 2, 2012. He thought, "This can't be right.." But I think if you look right now, that price is still listed. If I'm not mistaken, the inside rooms are $344 something a person, oceanview around $771 and the suites are about $1899 a person. Something along those lines. So for a balcony to be at only $444 a person, that just cannot be right! Either way, long story short, my husband booked the cruise. Our question is this: Will Royal Caribbean honor that price that we paid? Or will they make us pay the difference? Because they must have made a mistake with that listen price for a balcony...

nancronin Posted March 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What a deal! I can't see how they can charge more - it's listed on their site. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Cheech Posted March 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You should plan on going. It is also right on the Royal Caribbean website. Sometimes you just get a good deal. If it is something you can take advantage of then you go for it!!! Happy sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted March 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I just looked at it on the RC website and it is a great deal. Unfortunately airfare will cost more than the cruise, but it's a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so hate forking out more to fly to cruise.... am an avid Air Miles user as a result! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelikea Posted March 13, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This is all good news!! I just didn't want to get my hopes up if it was honestly too good to be true. Also, we are very much aware of the flight costs, but we just couldn't pass up this deal. I will be only 3 or 4 days out of school for the summer. I'm finishing up my first year of teaching. So this will be a welcomed vacation! We also went on our honeymoon in Italy and took a cruise out of Venice around that time 2 years ago, so it will also be somewhat of an anniversary trip. Thank you all for your responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lossforgain Posted March 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Cheapest air I can find is over $1100 per person - otherwise I would be booking the same deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted March 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well done on the deal because as you can see, on the RCI UK site, prices are nothing like that for a balcony on that saling, and remember these are in GBP£, convert these to USD$ and even the guarantee price of £902 is more than 3 times the price you mention of $444.

Friend100 Posted March 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Saw this last week too. Factor in the air price it might still be cheaper than cruising the typical 7-days Caribbean, unless you live in Florida and can drive to the port. Great deal.

I'm getting 499 CDN for a balcony why is it all the good deals cost so darn much to fly...grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcward89 Posted March 13, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I just checked a popular travel website and the first 3 weeks of June all have that price. Great price if you can afford the airfare!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price if you can afford the airfare!! Try Choice Air for the airfare - I got a o/w ticket from DC to Barcelona for my TA this fall for about $500, when all of the airlines wanted well over $1000.

travelplus Posted March 13, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2012 As soon as you get an email like this from RCCL like this: Dear Mr XXX A payment was made in the amount of $444 on Credit Card ending in 4888 on 3/13/2012 then you know RCCL approved the charge. Anyways what a deal!!!!! Enjoy your Cruise and please bring me along lol(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't go but just for kicks I tried ChoiceAir for the June 2nd sailing. The cheapest flight I could find with workable flights/dates is $1165.66....and it's an awful flight out...leaving Cleveland at 4:40pm on May 31st and you don't get to Malaga until 3:55pm on June 1st...just kill me!

heatherbelle Posted March 13, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well done on the price. Why do we have to pay a lot more in the UK for the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherbelle Posted March 13, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just checked airfare for the uk, over £1000.00 Stirling for three of us. Oh well never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizanessie Posted March 13, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just checked airfare for the uk, over £1000.00 Stirling for three of us. Oh well never mind. Airfare is probably more expensive for the 2nd June sailing due to the Bank Holiday...16th June flights should be a bit cheaper. If I hadn't told my new employer today that I didn't need holiday time till the end of the year ..I would have been all over this deal...but at the $$$ price not the £££ price.

compman9 Posted March 13, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is there any way we in the UK can get this deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted March 13, 2012 #20 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is there any way we in the UK can get this deal? Booking with a US TA is the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fas64 Posted March 13, 2012 #21 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi, We are doing the TA from San Juan on the Adventure, But when I seen these rates on Sunday I booked a balcony GTY for only $399 each after our Diamond discount for May 26th and we got the flights with EasyJet for £185.00 each. This is the cheapest balcony I have ever booked, as PETERUK said these are not available on RCCL UK site which I checked after we booked and the best rate was £1790 for the 2 of us in a balcony GTY. These rates are availble for April 28, May 5,12,19,26 and June 2, 9 and 16th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman6703 Posted March 13, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just check the rccl website and for the June 2 cruise, the suites are going for $1,899 to $100,174.00.The $100,174 per person is for a guarantee deluxe stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cello56 Posted March 13, 2012 #23 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think that this is a mistake. The RCI website has the Adventure of the Seas doing the exact same cruise leaving on June 3/10/17 - each cruise one day later and priced much higher.

adirondacksailor Posted March 13, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just check the rccl website and for the June 2 cruise, the suites are going for $1,899 to $100,174.00.The $100,174 per person is for a guarantee deluxe stateroom. That $100,174 deluxe suite gty pricing is what made me think this $444 for a balcony gty was an RCI website error, so I crossed my fingers and booked the balcony gty for the May 5th sailing a couple of days ago and it went through. We're lucky as we are staying in Spain at the end of the Adventure TA, so it was a nice surprise add-on to our trip. We are very fortunate not to have the flight worries as Steve is a retired airline emplyee so we don't need a plane reservation. We just wait until there's an empty seat - now that can be stressful!
