Wait for Cyber Monday?

[Queensmom2]

Hi there cruise experts. I'm all set to book my first cruise (Oasis, in March 2016) for myself, husband, and two daughters. I see a really good BOGHO + $300 OBC deal right now, and I plan to book directly with RCI. My question is: should I wait until Cyber Monday to book? If I book now, and a better deal comes out on Cyber Monday, will RCI honour it? Thank you in advance! For a newbie to cruising, this is a great site!

I'd book now, and if a better deal comes out later, Royal usually lets you take advantage of it, assuming the cruise is before final payment date.

Congrats on your first cruise! You are jumping in big time going to the largest ship there is.

 

I would book now. If the price drops before final payment you can call and they will honor it (only exception is specific sales). I always book my cruises early and have never regretted it.

I agree with the posts above. Book it now! And, welcome to Cruise Critic and cruising. Please plan on becoming addicted! :D

Agree, book now. Email preview I got from TA shows cyber Monday deal same as current promo, except OBC up to $400. But who knows what they'll do to the base price.

Base price will prob go up by then, so better deal now.

 

Only difference is on Monday they are offering some extra OBC...but no guarantee the base price will be the same....

Thanks everyone. I waited until today (Black Friday), and was able to receive 25% off third and fourth guests, as well as BOGOHO and $300 OBC - not bad! Now to plan the excursions, dining, etc. WOOHOO!

We just booked tonight and received BOGO at 50% off second guest and 300.00 on board credit. Is the 300.00 credit for each person or is it total for both passengers?

I would book now and check for a price drop on Monday. If nothing changes, keep checking every once and awhile for any price changes.

It is per cabin, not per person.

Where did you guys hear about a Cyber Monday sale? Did RCCL send out e-mails to all but me????? (which is usually the case). :mad: Don't see anything on their website either.

There isn't one - the OP just assumes so since every other business likes to market something as that.

I Googled and found it on the Royal Caribbean blog.

 

I still had to ask the salesperson about it though!
