erniebert Posted July 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I booked a 12 night Christmas cruise today with an online TA and had expected to have $200 OBC applied to the booking, however when the TA looked up the rate with our C&A numbers there was a $252 C&A discount each applied so we couldn't have the OBC as well. Why would we have a discount? We're platinum but we were only booking an oceanview, not a balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets applied automatically now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a great discount which was higher than the balcony discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniebert Posted July 14, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted July 14, 2014 what was the $200 you were expecting for? There's a promotion on Christmas cruises at the minute, for the length of the cruise and the category of cabin it would have worked out at $200. Thanks for clearing up what the discount is, pity they're not combinable!

This sale is a two part sale. It is 10% off the cruise fare AND a 200 OBC for regular staterooms. Or....is the $252 actually the 10% discount and you will also get the $200 OBC. If you did receive the 10% off and the C&A discount then great you received he best deal. I suspect though that you did not receive the 10% off and only receive C&A discount. If this is what happened you would be better off declining the C&A discount so that you would get the lower OBC of $200 but also get the 10% off.

Hmm thanks for that - our cruise fare is 1400ish per person so 10%off is $280 and the OBC is $200 so total saving of $480 but our C&A discount is $504 so that seems to be a better deal. All of that being said we haven't received our invoice yet so I'll be checking carefully when we do!
