irishgal432 Posted December 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2015 For the second time in a few months. The GGG sale prices are not being honored. It is not not a computer glitch but marketing misprints. This weeks sale flyer has 3 Independence of the Seas cruises listed for GS and OS "on sale", but when calling and trying to make a reservation for these, I am told they are not part of the GGG Sale even though the reps acknowledge they are on the flyer. Only JS are available even though there is room availability. The same thing happened a few months ago. I wish someone in Marketing would actually read what they send out. http://www.creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/rci_sales_event.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Maybe it's just me but when I see 2 different categories listed and only one price I would assume that they mean "from" and the price shown is for the lower category. They certainly could be clearer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgal432 Posted December 7, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Yes, but there is no verbage stating "from". However, the OS and GS were not reduced at all, so to me that is not on sale,. Being clear on a sale is not a fortay of RC. lol Edited December 7, 2015 by irishgal432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly could be clearer though. All other multiple categories listed ie D1,D3,E3 balconies are on sale for the price quoted on the flyer.

They certainly could be clearer though. Have previously booked with the GGG promo. The sale had several balcony types listed under one heading E1, E2, D1 etc. I was able to choose from any of the cats. listed. I would think the same should hold true with the JS, GS listing.

I agree with you about them not being clear but I still see a big difference between 3 different balcony cabins offered for the same price and assuming that an OS and a JS would be the same price but that's just me.

irishgal432 Posted December 7, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Earlier when I checked they were the same, but now I can't even get my c/a login to work to show any GGG sale prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted December 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I looked at it. When I see JS, OS on sale, and USD $1049, I would assume that both cabins are being offered at that price. It's not like on the main website that lists the 'from' prices. I would call back and talk to someone else.

They shouldn't have listed them together with one price. It looks like that is the price for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I was talking about seeing them on the website in order to book. You have to be loggged on to get the GGG rates early for c/a members.

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted December 7, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 7, 2015 They shouldn't have listed them together with one price. It looks like that is the price for both. I agree. this is how other categories are listed. they should honor the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted December 7, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would call back and try thru Resolutions. Like the others have said on these sales flyers where they list several categories with one price under it is has always meant that you could book any of those for that same price. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck I called Royal this morning before the TA opened to hold a room and they told me there were rooms available but they can't hold them and to have the TA call when it opened. I called my large TA who tried to get that price and they said royal wasn't going to honor the price. Seems to be on ongoing policy with them. :confused: Edited December 7, 2015 by irishgal432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmerelda Posted December 7, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Also, when checking prices online <whether its cruise, hotel, etc> always remember to clean your cache. Websites know if you have already been there <cookies>and usually the price will go up (this has happened to me many times on hotels and car rentals). Just remember to clean your caches aka history out then check again. This should help. I just compared to pricing on the Indy for 1/30/16. The price on a Jr Suite is showing up for me at $889. The flyer says $909. Go figure... Royal Caribbean really needs to get their act together. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
