luvscruising2007 Posted June 7, 2016 #151 Share Posted June 7, 2016 My TA re-worked our booking but still had a question about the C&A balcony discount. If they honor that we will save some money, not a lot. Did any of you who rebooked lose your previously selected cabin? Don't want that to happen.

FloridaPalms Posted June 7, 2016 #153 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Checked out a few cruises with the new "sale". Prices are high on MOST cruises. There is a 3-night on the Serenade I have been watching, and interestingly enough keeps dropping a little here and there with each new sale. It started at around $400 way back when...then down to 350, then 322 with last sale, and now 307 with current sale. Still a bit high for me, especially with taxes/fees being $105/pp. Would like to see it drop to around $250/pp before taxes and fees. I booked this yesterday! :D Inside was showing $322pp BOGO60 pricing for 2 BUT when I checked for 1 person, it included both BOGO60 and special solo pricing bringing studio price to $391. Seemed liked a decent price to me but I've never checked solo prices before and this will be my first time sailing solo. We ended up booking last night with the 60% off sale (before the 1, 2, Free sale). Glad we did as prices were slightly higher with the 1, 2, Free. Yes if both my kids were under 12 and we could go during school we would have saved, otherwise not so much.... We are on Freedom. I wanted the Eastern route with St. Thomas and St. Maartan but our cabin category literally sold out as I was booking. We got the same price on the Western route going to Grand Cayman, etc. a week later. I hope that will be just as good! We are not big time cruisers...so it is interesting to read all of your posts about bookings and discounts, etc. We usually fly someplace and rent a house and drive from there. Can't wait to see how this vacation goes in comparison. :) Congrats on your cruise! You're going on a great ship and, if you've never been to them, you have some nice ports on your itinerary. Search these boards, and particularly the ports of call section, for some really good tips and ideas for excursions. This cruise could be the beginning of a sweet addiction for you and your family. ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted June 7, 2016 #158 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Very odd that the promo email I just got referenced free nights on a specific 2018 cruise I have booked but that is outside the terms of the sale. Figured what the heck call them anyways and see what's up. It is not included in the sale but did have a small price drop anyway so that was nice. I am on the fence about booking Freedom for next Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3poundpuppies Posted June 7, 2016 #159 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Question for those of you experienced with RCCL. When they had the half off deposits, I booked our first with them. Looks like the current "sale" price went down $130 from what I booked at, but I also presently have $100 obc. If I call them will they adjust the price and take away my obc, and expect me to pay the other half of the deposit? Or will they be nice and just adjust the price :confused: I know, I'm probably dreaming about that! Thanks for your helpful knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that it's possible to lose OBC, but I've never paid more for a deposit. I actually have a $50 deposit for a booking right now that I switched from a 5 night sailing done onboard. I've asked them if I should pay more, but they said there was no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI Cruisers 004 Posted June 8, 2016 #162 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Not saying this is a gimmick, but last night, I checked the price for our Oasis cruise and then looked again tonight once the "sale" started and today's price was $100 more than last nights price. Don't think I'll try to rebook just yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted June 8, 2016 #163 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I agree. I checked our cruise last night when the sale was showing, and again this morning. The price is higher on RCCL's web site, but I have to wait to see if Costco's site has any additional perks to offset the increase. I'm still a huge fan of booking as early as possible, then riding the price (hopefully) drop wave. Do you usually get good deals? I never thought to book through them. I've saved big on rental cars through them. If you book through them can you later move the reservation to a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted June 8, 2016 #164 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The Jr Suite we have on Freedom for 3/4/17 is up about $800. Great sale! [emoji14] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuhockette Posted June 8, 2016 #165 Share Posted June 8, 2016 We currently have 2 oceanview balcony cabins on Allure (3 in one room and 2 in the other). We saved $480 with this sale and we already had a screamin' good deal. However, had we switched to the FB for the 5 of us it was taxes only for the kids - making that room $3300. DH decided he'd rather pay $730 for two cabins and two balconies vs the large FB. This one actually worked out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allentownahoy Posted June 8, 2016 #166 Share Posted June 8, 2016 5 out of the 6 cruises I have booked over the next 2 years had price drops with this new sale for my categories-SB studio balconies on Anthem and ocean view on Grandeur. One- a regular balcony on Anthem had gone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencruise Posted June 8, 2016 #168 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Quick Question.. My mom's Vision cruise for next year was cancelled and she was offered $200 OBC if she re-books by June 22. She would like to rebook the 23 night transpacific cruise. My question is if she books now with the BOGO can she have it repriced with this new sale on June 7th IF it is priced lower than the BOGO rate and NOT lose her $200 OBC? I did the math and if prices stayed exactly the same, she would save $20 which really doesn't change anything but just incase it is actually lowered I want to make sure I advise my Mom correctly. Thanks! We have been offered $400 OBC from our cancelled Legend for next year and have been told that once appled to a cruise it has to stay with that particular cruise and if we changed to another cruise we would lose it. Luckily for us with this new promo of free nights going on, our cruise booked for the end of August this year has gone down in price by a whopping $39 so we have applied it to that cruise. There wasn't any point in applying it to a cruise that was higher than we had booked it at as it had to be at current pricing. That is two Legend cruises cancelled on us now, September 2015 and May 2017, as well as three others over the past few years, 2 Jewel and 1 Explorer ! Onboard credit is nice though and always acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1cruise@atime Posted June 8, 2016 #171 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks like I am a minority who has benefited from this sale. Here is what our numbers look like Jewel of Seas - Southern Caribbean - 12/11 for 7 nights from San Juan Original Price - $3339.99. This includes Base+Taxes& Port Charges+Gratuities and Travel Insurance. Had booked during BOGO60 New Price - $2825.00 Includes all of the above under 1-2-FREE. We are a part of 2 Adults and 2 Kids. My take on the sale - The prices actually went up but with kids we end up saving a chunk. I think the solos and couples only are the ones who are seeing the price hike. Another quick one - The GS and JS prices have come down significantly for this sailing. When I was looking prior sale price difference was over $1600 from D1 to JS. Now its about $1000. Hope someone finds this useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
