SDA1125 Posted April 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Looks like this is the next promotion. Hoping the prices that are released next week for Anthem Spring/Summer 2017 are not jacked up too high to cover the sale. Copied this from another post. **Cruise must be booked April 4-April 13, 2016 (“Offer Period”). Offer applies to all sailings on or after May 5, 2016, excluding China departures. Offer includes 50% off cruise fare of second guest who must be booked in the same stateroom as a first guest who books at full fare (“BOGO”). Offer also includes 25% cruise fare savings for 3rd and 4th guests booked in the same stateroom as the first two qualifying guests. Additionally, offer includes pre-paid gratuities in oceanview categories and above for the first and second guests in the stateroom for all eligible products excluding Alaska, Asia, China, Transatlantic and Repositioning sailings. Pre-paid gratuities will be applied as an onboard credit (“OBC”), and includes stateroom, waiter, assistant waiter and head waiter gratuities in the amount suggested by Royal Caribbean guidelines. OBC will be applied automatically at time of booking to all eligible reservations and displayed as per person amounts for the first and second guests, totaling the gratuity value. OBC is in USD, has no cash value, is non-transferable, not redeemable for cash. In addition, for eligible newly deployed sailings that depart on or after May 1, 2017, the Offer includes a Free Upgrade within the stateroom meta-category (for example from a D8 to a D1, interior to interior, or ocean view to ocean view). Free Upgrade refers to booking a stateroom for the price of the lowest available category within the same stateroom meta-category type. Upgrade is subject to stateroom availability at time of booking. Upgrade offer excludes Panoramic, Family, and Suite staterooms. All other charges, including, but not limited to, taxes, fees and port expenses, are additional and apply to all guests. BOGO does not apply to third and higher occupancy guests. BOGO is combinable with adjoining Pre-Paid Gratuities, 25% Savings, New Deployment Upgrade Offer, NextCruise Offer, Crown & Anchor discounts and Shareholder Benefits. Pre-paid Gratuities are not combinable with Crown & Anchor discounts and Shareholder Benefits. BOGO and 25% Savings are not combinable with restricted rates (for example, Seniors, Residents, Military). Pre-Paid Gratuities are combinable with restricted rates (for example, Seniors, Residents, Military) as well as NextCruise offers. Offer is not combinable with any other offer or promotion, including, but not limited to, Standard Group, Interline, Travel Agent, Travel Agent Friends and Family, Weekly Sales Events, and Net Rates. After the Offer Period, the Offer will be removed from the booking if the guest cancels and reinstates the booking or rebooks into a new booking on the same ship and sail date, applies a fare change, or changes the ship or sail date of the booking; certain other changes to the booking may also result in removal of the Offer. Offer applies to new, individual and named group bookings confirmed at prevailing rates. Individual reservations may be transferred into an existing group, assuming required criteria are met, though full deposit will be required at time of transfer. Failure to apply the required full deposit amount may result in the cancellation of the booking. Offer available to residents of United States and Canada. Prices and Offer are subject to availability and change without notice, capacity controlled, and may be withdrawn at any time.

Illmaxict Posted April 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) is this legitimate here? would definitely bump us up to a ocean view balcony on the harmony... i've also noticed they have a 30 percent off promotion right now until april third. Dropped the price of a ocean view balcony down by 1000. the question is, what will the rates be once the april 4 promotion starts, would the 50 percent off end up being more of discount, less, or the same. ufffff lol Edited April 1, 2016 by Illmaxict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It says the offer is valid for US and Canadian residents. I am US resident, but my girlfriend who I will travel with is a resident of Spain. She would be the second guest. Any idea if the promotion wouldn't be valid for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the person booking is a US or CDN resident you are good. Edited April 1, 2016 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!! now the only thing left to decide is do I take advantage of the 30 percent off sale right now, or the 50 percent off second guest...

jennmaybe Posted April 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thank you!! now the only thing left to decide is do I take advantage of the 30 percent off sale right now, or the 50 percent off second guest... I had this exact discussion yesterday on another thread. We ended up deciding (based on some very excellent advice by my fellow cruisers) to go ahead and book under this promotion and wait to see what the new promo offers. We can always cancel & rebook.

tserface Posted April 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It still seems like the balcony discount is a better deal! Tom Yes, saw it yesterday, and "Free Gratuities" goes away if you use your C&A balcony discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
