They gave me the 200 OBC. It wasn't showing when I booked it, but it came through on the invoice. I think it relates to this sale RCL are having. TRIPLE OFFER WHEN YOU BOOK BY JULY 18 Take in the view from your private Balcony stateroom, shop til you drop with US$200 to spend onboard and relax by the pool having enjoyed 50% deposits. You can do all of the above when you book select Royal Caribbean cruise holidays of five nights or longer. This offer is on sale for one week only, so don't miss out on this triple treat and book before July 18 2015. Plus, receive an additional US$200 onboard credit~ when you choose to holiday on the newly revitalised Explorer of the Seas.

Ru2on Posted July 15, 2015 #1360 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It's ok Gae I looked up the 3 day explorers & see there are a couple , considering booking one . Also noticed the Singapore repositioning cruise on the 3rd Nov for 10 nights in a Balcony is just over $1,200. With $200 obc , shame I'm not in a position to go on that one , there's good deals with Singapore flights at the moment .

woodyren Posted July 15, 2015 #1361 Share Posted July 15, 2015 RCL have indeed got some decent deals at present for balconies. In saying that they have bumped up some inside prices so they can "give" you the free double upgrade to balcony gty. If I was only after an inside I would wait for the sale to end as I think insides will drop then. When you add in the $200OBC it makes it even sweeter. Yes the $200 comes from RCL not the agent. For anyone with Crown & Anchor status this OBC is NOT combinable with the balcony discount. I just booked a balcony gty on Radiance for just under $1400pp (all taxes included with my $372 balcony C&A discount) for 13 days on the 3rd Dec 2016 but had to forgo the OBC. Unusual itinerary. Isle of Pines ,Lifou with 2 stops in Fiji and 2 in Tonga then ending in Auckland. Would like to book the B2B Auckland Sydney 10 day cruise but it is a lot more expensive in Australia so I will be going offshore to book an inside with my USA TA for about $1300 AUS pp. But would need plane tickets and probably a hotel anyway so we might as well cruise home.

That would explain why I see the $200 obc sometimes and not others, logged in and not logged in - duh! Thanks for the heads up. That sounds like a good deal. I like that different itinerary and I don't like ending up in Auckland and having to fly home (would be ok if we had time last trip to stay in NZ for a bit) so your logic of sailing back is sweet! That price for the return trip is not bad for a balcony gty over Christmas. I saw $1787 just quickly on an online TA - didn't do the sign in direct and check balcony disc? Your price for an inside is pretty good though. So many deals...so many trips already booked...sigh. Edited July 15, 2015 by goodycruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchan Posted July 15, 2015 #1366 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) We are seeing some of the best prices in years and I can't understand why this should be with $A down. We are also seeing more ships in Australia. As an example RCI will have 5 ships in in 2016/7 Radiance, Explorer, Voyager, Legens and Ovation and 4 in 2015. The prices for balcony at $A130pp per night. It is good time to have good time and cruise now. It just can't last long when you consider cost of living if not going and staying at home. If you are renting can you get waterview for $1000 per week?, and you have to make your own bed and make your own meals. Airfares can be a problem. I have booked 17 nights balcony cabin on Radiance for $2217pp Honolulu to Sydney. That is $130 pp per day. Cheapest one way flight with Qantas is $2038 because it is school holidays. Jetstar saved the situation. Edited July 15, 2015 by burchan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically you can get OBC with a C&A balc discount as you can combine the discount with 1 other offer. In this case the offers were a double upgrade (balcony for inside price) and the OBC so if you wanted the diamond discount you had to drop one of the offers. So for $325 US discount we let the $200 OBC slide. Hope this makes sense and it is only my take after I made a few email enquiries. I am not in Australia at the moment and when I get home I will ring C&A and clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind if you know before hand and can choose which way you want to go. The balcony discount is a nice extra on top of the double upgrade deal in our opinion. I have checked out some of the specials but we have some nice cruises booked already with the bogoho offers and we have selected cabins we want. Always looking! I have noticed a couple of times balcony discount on both persons in the booking? I didn't make a note of what type of booking I was looking at though. Has anyone else ever seen this pop up on the direct site? I must take a screen shot next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for $325 US discount we let the $200 OBC slide. Ours was slightly different as on our EOS cruise, special offer this week was US$400 OBC, which is higher than A$372 C&A discount & so the website selected the best option for us as US$400 is much better than A$372. Think we will let it slide. We weren't locked into a balcony, and not getting both made the deal not so great. As you mentioned the IC prices were put up a fair bit to have the double upgrade sale, so we'll wait until this sale finishes and take a look again:) This cruise will be anniversary cruise, so we will take it, just angling for the best deal;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted July 18, 2015 #1375 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well we had quite a look around the options for late 2016 & early 2017 and have decided to play cabin lotto with the balcony guarantees. It means we can do around 21 nights in 2017 at the guarantee price (combo of NZ & Sth Pac) for around the same cost we were looking at for 14 nights in a D2 on Radiance to NZ. If we get E cabins we will wear that. We think the deal, with balcony discounts is worth the savings. Thanks Sarah for starting this fantastic thread. Our cruise addiction has been super enabled and we are loving it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
