Never sailed on RCL but will in January. What are the benefits of having a savings certificate?

Sarah you have to be a member of Crown & Anchor, the RCCL loyalty program to be able to use these certificates which entitle you to a savings on the cruises listed. Depending on the length of the cruise and the category of your cabin, you can save from $50 - $225 dollars per cabin.

Thanks. Yes. I realise you have to had completed at least one cruise. I was just curious what the advantages were.

[Dalewhale]

When it says in it can not be combined with other certificates does this mean I can not use it if I booked my cruise with a next cruise certificate?

[Kizza]

If I have already booked and paid in full (even though final payment date isn't due yet) should I still be entitled to the discount?

 

I guess I can only ring them and find out.....

 

Didn't even know this existed!

It does say: " Offers CAN be used in conjunction with the Onboard Booking Bonus." is this what you mean?

[The_Big_M]

I believe you can combine with a next cruise certificate.

[gaechann]

I believe you can combine with a next cruise certificate.

 

Yes, I believe this is correct! You can't combine them with a balcony discount if you've been able to use one for your booking. It's either one or the other. Of course you would choose the one that is worth the most. :)

[Kizza]

If anyone is interested you can apply it to an existing booking. I just got $125 off my cruise which pretty much pays the pre-paid gratuities! I'm wrapped with that!

I'm so glad you were able to apply a savings certificate and receive a discount on your cruise! :)

 

These Savings Certificates are re-newed every 3 months - the next ones will be available from 1 Jan then 1 April, 1 July, 1 October every year. Just sign into the Crown & Anchor section of the RCCL website to see them.

Thanks for the info Gae. Will definitely keep an eye on that in the future!

[silverwillow]

I wanted to come in and say a big thankyou to you Gae, my travel agent just applied the saving certificate to my Voyager cruise in January. :D Thanks for being so generous and sharing these around. :)

This is great news! Happy to be of assistance! I hope others are able to take advantage of them too!

Good to see so many people taking advantage of the savings.

I called to apply the certificate to our Nov 14 Radiance cruise & the lady on the phone didn't even know what a savings certificate was...! When I told her they were available through the C&A section of the website she told me to email C&A and ask about it.

 

I will call back in a week or so and hopefully talk to someone who knows about them. I have used them before so I know they can be applied over the phone.

Was this your travel agent or the local RCI office that you called? It's just typical of the service (?) that we receive "down under" IMHO. :confused:

[Gold Coast Cruisers]

Great spotting Gae and thanks for sharing, I had given up checking as there was never anything for our part of the world. I think in all the years we've cruised with RCL we've only used one once and that was on a Mexican cruise out of San Diego.

 

Glad to see we are now included. :)

Great news for you too Linda!

 

Unfortunately, even though both my cruises for next year are listed, I can't take advantage of them because I've been allocated Balcony Discounts and the 2 aren't combinable!! :(

 

Nevermind, I'm happy that others can use them!

Hi Gae,

It was the RCI office 1800 number. Sometimes when you call it you get an American & sometimes it is the Sydney office. I always find the information is better if your call is put through to America.

Yes, I agree! Whenever I've been patched through to the US when the local office is busy, I've always spoken to someone who is very helpful! Those in the local office seem to know LESS about their product than we passengers do! :(

I have booked for a Jan12 2014 cruise on Rhapsody I found the certificate and gave it to my travel agent. The cruise is not listed in these certificates so I hope I still get the discount. Do you know how that works? I gave the certificate to my agent after I accepted the original quote. Intending to pay the balance of our cruise this week.

Thanks for posting :)

 

We're sailing on the Radiance Queensland cruise in Jan. I'll be getting on to our TA on Tuesday to let her know about the savings certificate. Hopefully she can apply it to our booking *fingers crossed*

[aussie cruzer]

Thanks Gae,

 

I have just lodged my saving certificate for $200 reduction on upcoming Radiance cruise.

 

Nice work.:D

I'm not quite sure what certificate you're referring to but if it was one from the previous July issue, the Crown & Anchor office told me that they were valid up until the end of October.

 

So pleased to hear that many are able to take advantage of them! :)
