BOGOHO sale again?......

[Merion_Mom]

I can confirm that the wording is:

 

Kids Sail Free - no age restriction (free cruise fare for 3rd/4th guests in a stateroom)

[Coralc]

Prices are up on the website, all categories. Inflated prices. No savings. :rolleyes:

[StarSong2001]

I ran the numbers both ways, for 1 single or 2 ppl for Allure D1 Balcony. I currently have a single booked for $1300 less than they would charge now with BOGOHO. The 2 ppl (me and my imaginary friend) would pay $425 more.

Mine was booked on the JulyWow special 3 weeks ago, 10% off plus $200 OBC. So far I've gotten the better deal. :) But anything can happen in the next couple months. Sure has been interesting watching the prices skyrocket.

 

 

....wonders if my imaginary friend needs a passport....

[Merion_Mom]

$1300 for a balcony on Independence 8/30/15. Are you kidding me?

 

That's before the discount. It's less than $2000 for two.

[Elizanessie]

Just checked a couple of sailings -

 

Allure TA Oct 2015 - Q - 2people = 1969.90

Allure TA Oct 2015 - Q - 1person = 2487.45

 

Explorer May 2015 - E3 - 2people = 2871.18

Explorer May 2015 - E3 - 1person = 3722.09

 

So solo is paying more than 2 people????...or do I need new glasses and more coffee :o

[molly361]

I am sure the prices tomorrow with the BOGOHO will be about what you saw yesterday before the price hike.

 

Hope i am wrong.

Unfortunately it looks like you are right, or at least with the one I am looking at. Today's price with 1/2 off the second person is the same price it would have been yesterday paying full fare for 2.

[Clarea]

No price drops for us. Prices went up just before the sale so the sale price is very close to the pre-sale price.

[dcgrumpy]

Yes I know, but yesterday before the sale it was $964 a person. So it's actually more money with the sale.

Solo is almost always more as you are booking a double occupancy room. Solo usually pays the solo premium which is typically almost equal to one passengers price essentially making it the same as booking for two. The BOGHO should help you out some. Maybe find a friend and then split the cost?

Thanks yes I am used to booking solo but if you check the prices I have posted you will see that solo is paying way more than double the price.

 

 

Allure TA Oct 2015 - Q - 2people = 1969.90 total

Allure TA Oct 2015 - Q - 1person = 2487.45

Solo would pay more than 200%

 

Explorer May 2015 - E3 - 2people = 2871.18 total

Explorer May 2015 - E3 - 1person = 3722.09

Solo would pay more than 200%

 

Really has it come to this that Solos have to have imaginary friends now to cruise so they don't pay over the 200% ?? :p:D

Liz, if I remember the last BOGOHO sale properly, it was a day or so before they fixed the singles pricing on the website.

Hi Bob, it took nearly a day and a few emails by a few of us from here and then the solo rate was sorted last time.

 

You would think that as it wasn't that long ago since the last BOGOHO offer they would get it right this time....wait...silly me ...forgot we are talking about Royal Caribbean IT :rolleyes: :(

[P&C4/16/67]

DH just checked all prices on 4 of our qualifying cruises. All prices are more, (three, way more) than we originally booked at.

[trev71]

It sounds like bogo sales are the new, wow sales

[bouhunter]

Looking at the two cruises we have booked I don't see any bargains:

 

#1: Jr Suite booked under BOGOHO at 3,000. Was 5,000 last week, 4,000 now.

 

#2: Balcony booked under BOGOHO at 2,600. Was 4,100 last week, 3,200 today.

 

I guess we're still very happy with the prices we locked in:D

[Steeler Nation At Sea]

The offer fine print gives no indication at all that they will apply it to solo's. Guess we'll have to wait and see today.

I booked 3 bogoho cruises the first time. They are all about $100 pp more now with the current bogoho.

[rjrice1]

We booked two cabins for a southern cruise; bogoho and payed a lot less than the new "bogoho" even with kids sail free..

I just tried to dummy booking on Radiance to Alaska next summer. Price for two people in a cabin was about $3500 for a balcony. Then I tried four people over $5400. Same category. How is that free. I'd rather have the kids in a inside cabin. That's pretty much an extra bathroom for free

Found this -

Guests have the choice of:

 

Buy One Guest, Get Second Guest 50% Off

Kids Sail Free – No age restriction

Book ChoiceAir and receive up to $1,000 off your stateroom (Balconies and Suites only)

 

Ships: All ships excluding Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas

Booking window: August 1st – September 15, 2014

Sailing Window: All sailings departing on or after October 15, 2014, excluding all sailings between December 15-31, 2014

 

So you will get to choose one of the 3 offers.

 

 

Saw it today as well. Will be looking into the choice air side of things.

Probably because when looking at two, you got the half off the second. When you add the kids, they are free, but the second does not get the half off. Click on the view details on the right hand side of the screen near the total price and look for the breakdown. Sometimes , the second at half off is a better deal than the kids sail free.

Your right, I just figured that out. I'm much better off getting 2 cabins and an extra bathroom, than stuffing four people in a balcony cabin.

NO DEAL ON MY UPCOMING BOOKINGS !! I am glad I booked earlier

[ATC cruiser]

Good thing they're having this "sale" because there is no way I'd pay over 5 grand for a balcony

After reading through this thread, I decided to take a shot at two previously booked cruises - March 8, 2015 and March 6 2016 FOS (D2 cabin)

 

Saved $592 on the 2015 cruise (from $3,549 to $2,957)

 

and $555 on the 2016 cruise (from $2,357 to $1,802)

 

$1,147 savings :D
