4merlurker Posted March 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm thinking another BOGO. :rolleyes: I booked under the 30% off. Does that stop me from taking advantage of future offers or price drops? No OBC so I'm not worried about losing that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted March 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) It's BOGOHO with 25% off the third and fourth passengers. Also prepaid gratuities with an OV cabin or higher. Someone will probably post the terms. I don't have them. It is posted on the RCL blog Edited March 31, 2016 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddone Posted March 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2016 BOGOHO, If I remember my math, means basically 25% off. 25% off < 30% off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merlurker Posted March 31, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I wonder if I can take advantage of the free grats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted March 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2016 BOGOHO, If I remember my math, means basically 25% off. 25% off < 30% off But they will fiddle with the base price so it works out to being equal after discounts are applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfanatic Posted March 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I wonder if I can take advantage of the free grats? sure you can, but the old deal goes away and the new one takes effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I wonder if I can take advantage of the free grats? If you are before final payment, then I expect you could get the free grats, if you were willing to pay current prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntjoy036 Posted March 31, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thank y'all for posting about this. I was trying to decide whether to book or wait on a 2017 cruise with my nieces. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaNeedsACruise Posted March 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 31, 2016 OK CC experts (Bob) I'm cruising on the Oasis 4/2. Was planning to book an Alaskan cruise while on board (July 2017). Family of 4, 2 rooms, one balcony & one interior. So I take it I'm better off booking prior to the 4/4 sale because I won't get the free grats and 30% is better than 25%.

Gaynors Posted March 31, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ok, we are on the 4/2 sailing of the Navigator (in two days!!! :D:D) looking at 9 night 3/31/17 southern caribbean out of miami. 4 people we are looking at an inside but with the free grats (and looking at current pricing) OV might be better. If we book onboard on 4/3 under current 30% then go back the next day when the new sale comes out is it easy to switch to the new sale? Any opinions??

jennmaybe Posted March 31, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ok, so we are looking to book our first suite on RC next year. I have been pricing out the cruise we've been looking at for several months now. This is the current price for 3 of us in a Grand Balcony Suite, Allure, at the end of May 2017: Stateroom Pricing & Cancellation Summary Sky Class - Grand Balcony Suite Guests Guest 1 Cruise Fare $4,713.00 USD* Taxes & Fees $99.17 USD* Guest 2 Cruise Fare $4,713.00 USD* Taxes & Fees $99.17 USD* Guest 3 Cruise Fare $1,699.00 USD* Taxes & Fees $99.17 USD* Discounts & Credits 30% Savings - $3,341.00 USD* Average cost per person $2,693.84 USD* Grand Total $8,081.51 USD* With the upcoming promo, using the same price pp, I come up with a total of approximately $8644 for the 3 of us. (I'm actually not sure if I figured up the right total for the 3rd passenger, so I may be off on this total). Do you guys think the price pp will come down with the new promo? I know many times they jack the rates up with promos, but if this current deal is a better one, then I want to jump on it now instead of waiting.

There's no way to predict how the base prices will change with the new promo. If you will be booking under US/Conadian rules, then I'd book now to freeze your price, and then if the new prices are better, worst case is you can cancel and rebook.

If we re-book, we would lose the pre-paid gratuities, right? Just want to make sure I completely understand how that would work so we don't lose out on anything. :) Edited March 31, 2016 by jennmaybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do what Bob says, book now and then watch prices. For all these sales they have been letting people re-price their bookings so if you booked today and Monday's deal is better you could re-price to that promo Edited March 31, 2016 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL is our favorite line, but we've never cancelled and re-booked with them, so I just wanted to make sure I completely understood everything if we need to do that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if RCI gives an OBC and you rebook, you will probably lose the OBC... Also waiting to see what next offer is on the Anthem for October...maybe a nice price drop would be great :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted March 31, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) The sale that starts Monday 4/4 has the prepaid grats (OV and higher) but not 30% off, back to 25% off the second guest. Edit This sale only lasts 10 days which I find interesting. We get to go thru all this again soon :) Edited March 31, 2016 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upcoming apparently is going to have free grats, 50% off 2nd guest, 25% 3rd/4th. I realize the current promo is only 30% off, so I was just trying to compare what the price difference may be based off the current rates. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southnam Posted March 31, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hmmm. I had booked a FoS family Oceanview for Feb 2017. Total for 5 with the previous Canadian deal was $3600 CDN with no OBC. will they do price guarantee if the are no more rooms left in your categories. When I tried to get my price adjusted 2 year s ago they told me if there are no similar category rooms left they won't adjust price. So do they actually rebook or just adjust price if it is a better deal. Thanks Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
