39august Posted January 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Earlier this week I signed up for the Cruise Critic price drop notification and indicated all RCI cruises. I received exactly nothing on Friday, the day indicated as weekly notification. Did anyone get notification of price drops? This is the offer on the CC opening page.

I never knew this feature was available. Thanks I just signed up I just added it to my list of price checkers.......... Sea Ya Oh. Since we booked our upcoming cruise for July (last September) we have gotten two rebates just from other notifications. Now I can compare. Thanks again.

C U Onboard Posted January 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Didn't know about this either. The facility is not available on Cruise Critic UK site. Good link for us to be kept in the loop. Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Familygoboston Posted January 25, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well, well, well;) I signed up too! It does say Beta, so we might expect some growing pains. And yeah! :D no need to direct people to the "sites that shall not be named" any longer when trying to help folks out with price drop monitoring. I've set mine for my potential first last minute "empty nest cruise"; with one at college, the other taking a 2 week trip to Spain, and a husband who can fly to the FLL office for a few days and add the cruise, I've put in to watch for that time period...who knows of I can find a deal I may just do it last minute:D Great addition CC, loving it!

molly361 Posted January 25, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) IF they are only sending the emails out once a week there is a chance that the rate may already be gone bye the time you get the email Edited January 25, 2014 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted January 25, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well, I just signed up again. Maybe it will work for me next Friday. Thanks for the info. I just signed up and immediately received an acknowledgement email. Did you receive the email when you signed up initially (or the second time)?

Tetromibi Posted January 25, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 25, 2014 You can just bookmark the pricedrop tool page once you make your selections (e.g. RCI, 5 day, inside room). Then you can just hit the bookmark once a day to check for drops. Also, keep in mind the tool is in beta. It may be just as efficient to bookmark RCI's website for your cruise to check those prices daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted January 27, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What other price checkers do you use? You can use Google to find others. Forum rules prohibit naming them on here. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceblake Posted January 27, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I called royal caribbean today and got a $326 price drop on my room. Final payment is due tomorrow. Going on independence on 4/12/14. Glad I called! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonV1 Posted January 27, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thankful for this tool, but I can assure you that if it isn't realtime you'll miss a lot. A number of the drops I hear about from my price tracking site are good for 24 hours or less, and can occur at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyW Posted January 27, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know if there is a price checker for family cabins? I was always very good at mock bookings to watch for price drops when we booked regular cabins, but can't muster up the courage to actually call RCCL more than once a month to check on our family promenade cabin.

Mwins78 Posted January 27, 2014 #24 Share Posted January 27, 2014 First time booking on rccl I found interior room on the 7 day freedom November 16 for 441pp I think that's a steal cause I paid 499pp for a 4 day on Disney has anyone seen cheaper prices than 441??

Ken at the beach Posted January 27, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know if there is a price checker for family cabins? I was always very good at mock bookings to watch for price drops when we booked regular cabins, but can't muster up the courage to actually call RCCL more than once a month to check on our family promenade cabin. As there are so few of those cabins they rarely drop the price of those until after final payment. I have not seen those prices listed on any other sites.
