Did you see this recent CC news article that talks about additional benefits

 

In other Royal Caribbean news, the line will offer free food and drink to passengers who book Central Park and Boardwalk view cabins on all three Oasis-class ships (Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas and Harmony of the Seas). Starting November 2016, cruisers with views of Central Park will enjoy lunch for two at Jamie's Italian on Harmony of the Seas or Giovanni's Table on Oasis and Allure of the Seas, a free bottle of wine upon arrival and special perks in the Casino Royale. Passengers in Boardwalk-view cabins will receive lunch or dinner for four at Johnny Rockets, a soda beverage package for two and a private session on the ships' 38-foot tall rock climbing wall

My guess would be they are having trouble selling them. I've seen huge drops on those categories of balcony and they are usually the cheapest ones to book already. Privacy isn't great, people across can see in on you as well as everyone walking in CP or BW can look up at you sitting on the balcony. No views of the ocean either. A small plus would be that you can see aqua from some of the BW balconies.

That's weird- we just booked a Boardwalk balcony for our kids (we will be across the hall in an Oceanview balcony) and the Boardwalk balcony was only $40 cheaper total than the Oceanview!

 

Even my TA was surprised at the pricing...which led me to believe there was demand for those Boardwalk balconies...

Since it's starting in Nov 2016 when Harmony comes to the USA. My guess, is they will have a harder time selling the boardwalk balcony's. Most of the ocean view is going to be blocked by the new Abyss slides.

In January 2017 we have Boardwalk Balcony 12329. Based on the images and videos posted......we believe we will still have a good ocean/Aquashow view even with the slides. We're taking the positive view that the slides might make it even better.

 

Getting the Coke package and free lunch is a nice bonus from Royal.

I'm keeping hopeful too...We have the four aft cabins #9729-9723 booked for HOTS in March 2017...even if it's (the view) not so great the low price I booked these cabins for when the schedule came out is well worth it ;)

If this is correct, it sounds as if RCCL is extended perks in an effort to fill these rooms.

The only thing that's wrong with this article is that it states for the Boardwalk View and Central Park View cabins when according to Royals website it includes the Boardwalk and Central Park Balconies

It said CP view not CP balconies.

But as I and Ourusualbeach have already posted, the article is wrong and these perks actually apply to the neighborhood balconies.

 

LOL

 

I have 2 Boardwalk balconies on Allure in Jan 2017 and 2 on Harmony in March 2017.

 

Hope to be able to mix and match the 2 packages as someone posted on the other thread. 2 dinners for 4 at JR's and 4 soda packages is too much for us.

Anyone able to verify this yet for already booked cruises? Or just on new bookings?

 

We are on November 27th Oasis sailing.

We were already booked when this offer came out. I called and verified it and also had my TA call and verify just to compare what we were told. Its for all cruises after Nov.5th. I even have two cruises booked for October 2017 and they told me it is on those as well.

Since this is a new perk from RCI for booking Neighborhood balcony cabins I'm curious if it can be upgraded. Guess we'll find out more in November.

True, we don't know abiout this particular perk for sure, but the UK cruisers have been able to upgrade their "included" drink packages.
