$25.00 OBC / bottle of decent champagne waiting in the room

Booked through Royal (Saw the rate online and then called my RCI agent. He saw I qualified for an OBC for that sailing)

I booked this just when they started double points for solo but just before they stopped booking reduced solo fares. 18 cruise points!

 

I was astounded by the price.

We had that same deal for 2 cabins but had to cancel because my son decided to graduate college early and we would have missed the ceremony. :mad:

Wow - this is a great deal for a 15 night cruise. Did you enjoy the ship & the itinerary?

[epixx]

We're really, really limited due to our two teenagers' schedules, so we can only cruise when they are free in the middle of August (peak prices).

 

2013:

 

11 days on HAL Ryndam in a quad inside cabin from Dover (UK) to Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar, ending in Barcelona. Cruise price was $2925, but the amazing part was the airfare (JFK to LHR and BCN to JFK) for $605 pp!!!

 

 

2014:

 

12 days on Serenade of the Seas in a quad inside cabin, round trip from Barcelona to Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, and France. Cruise price $3689, plus TA OBC of $400. Airfare (PHL to BCN round trip) for $846 per person.

ship is mostly sold out in suite category, so no real chance of an upgrade unless they give us the royal suite. Though I really am looking forward to that aft cabin, I *could* be persuaded to give it up for the royal suite I suppose:rolleyes::D
