readytolose Posted April 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm sure there is some reasonable explanation for this but I'm tired and I can't figure it out! When I look at prices on RCCL's website for my upcoming Allure cruise the prices are cheaper when I'm logged in to my account versus when I'm not logged in? What is the reason for the difference?

Are you a C and A member? If so that may be reflect a discount. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk. Please excuse all of the inevitable typos!!! :eek: Curse tablet keyboards!

readytolose Posted April 17, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The strange thing is when I booked I got $125 (total) off my Balcony Room for being a C&A member. Now when I look at prices of Junior Suites it shows a discount of $178 per person. Is the C&A discount that much better for booking a suite? I guess I understand that the discount rate is showing when I'm logged in, however when I look at the room category that I have booked now it doesn't show any discount rate. Maybe I'm just making this harder than it needs to be! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the discount might be the C&A coupon, C&A balcony discount, or even the April promo that runs until 4/20. Royal has purposely made it very difficult to determine what discount(s) are being applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL So my next question, would you upgrade from a D1 balcony to a JS for $445 per person? I'm thinking that is still way too high but just curious what others think. I've never sailed in a JS so not sure how much more $ is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was for a transpacific, or the Brilliance cruise from Harwich to Boston, then I'd jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readytolose Posted April 17, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for the replies! I agree that the price to upgrade is still too high. At least for me it is. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being unrealistic thinking it might come down some more. I'm torn because I really like the location we have booked. We have center hump on deck 8. There are no JS open on deck 8 currently and I would really love to stay on that deck. I know that closer to final payment some might open up, so I'll keep checking! We've never had a JS and I'm fine with sticking with the D1. We really aren't in the room that much so the extra space isn't a big deal to us. The reason I'm hoping to switch to a JS is because after this cruise I'll be at 29 points. 1 point away from Platinum. If we can stay in a JS then it will bump us up to Platinum. I'm sure there really isn't a big difference between Gold and Platinum but it will just drive me crazy knowing I'm only one point away!

nolesrule Posted April 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2014 There are some really strange discounts on that January Allure cruise. I looked through all the suites, using my normal family of 4. OS, SL and RS had $100 discounts, which I assume is my platinum balcony discount, while others had hundreds off. The GS was $500, the L1 and L2 was about ~$1600 and ~$1400. JS was $356.

Rare ttnc4me Posted April 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm considering Royal for the first time and wonder if they are like Princess in (the somewhat little known ability) that you can share your discount on the same cruise with your friends & family somehow, but still letting them book on their own?

The C&A coupon and balcony discounts are based on C&A membership and level of the guests booked in a stateroom. There's no sharing of discounts with guests who are not eligible themselves.
