Susiecruisey Posted March 19, 2014 #27 Share Posted March 19, 2014 So what the discount if you book on land? Or on the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted March 19, 2014 #28 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Yup-mine too.Either this is a mistake or D+ and D's are getting the same discount.:eek: I'll admit-it's nice to see mine go up but should not be. D+ Should have a bigger discount. Gotta be a mistake!! I'm quoting myself because I need to add Emerald getting the same discount too!! You guys got an even bigger increase!!:D Edited March 19, 2014 by Debde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHateSnow! Posted March 19, 2014 #29 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm seeing the change on my emerald too. So in other words - I book a cruise on board - $100/pp deposit. Junior Suite - so it's a $200 OBC for a 7 night cruise correct? plus a $250 balcony discount? At least according to this. Seems way too good to be true - but I'm hoping it sticks around long enough for me to get my 2 rooms booked in a couple weeks for the new allure iten that just came out!!

vermontvoyager Posted March 19, 2014 #30 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I just got off Cruisingpower after checking quotes for 3 & 4 night cruises on Enchantment and 4 & 5 night cruises on Brilliance and C & A balcony discounts were showing for all 4 cruises I checked. Called C & A as well and nothing has changed on their end either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted March 19, 2014 #31 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The website booking does not match the C&A Diamond page. I don't understand what "NEW Total savings" mean. It does not match the the booking onboard OBC? And it looks like Emerald is the SAME as Diamond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermontvoyager Posted March 19, 2014 #36 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It looks like they have loaded the D+ discounts into all of the levels (or at least the Emerald ) by mistake. No...not by mistake. Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle C & A balcony discounts are all the same now. That is what it shows on Cruisingpower anyway.

molly361 Posted March 19, 2014 Author #37 Share Posted March 19, 2014 LOL Ellen..what part is the problem LOL I never paid much attention to that page but I think it used to show what your total savings were if you combined the Next Cruise with EITHER your balcony discount OR a savings certificate I think it is not showing any balcony discounts for 3-5 days only because there is no longer any OBC offered for 3 -5 day cruises.

That is what it shows on Cruisingpower anyway. It could be as simple as the website is not using the proper C&A level to select the appropriate discount page to display.

vermontvoyager Posted March 19, 2014 #40 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It could be as simple as the website is not using the proper C&A level to select the appropriate discount page to display. I typed in my and DW's C&A loyalty numbers and we are D+ and my discount for all balconies show it's the same for all tier levels, but gold.

jmrothermel Posted March 19, 2014 #43 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If I understand the T&C correctly, this applies to next bookings only? When I did a mock booking in cruising power, I only got the "normal" balcony discount of $225 for diamond. I believe this increased amount is for on board bookings only.

If they are increasing balcony discounts as an on board booking incentive, it would (should) be for all levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted March 19, 2014 #49 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It is really a shame they did not advertise this. I got off the GOTS yesterday. I would have loved to get this higher discount. However, none told us anything. It was a missed opportunity to market this to us. We bought 2 open bookings, just for the ease of it.

melbur Posted March 19, 2014 #50 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here is a screen shot of my info OK, am I the only one too thick to get this . . if I was onboard right now and booked a JS on a 15night cruise, I would get $400 OBC plus my Balcony discount of $350 totalling $750 . . . soooo .. where does the "New Total Savings" of $550 come from? .
