FloridaPalms Posted August 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's C&A Appreciation Week! For those who haven't read the possible loss of balcony/suite discounts thread, right now you can book a balcony and get the discount for one C&A tier up. So even gold C&A can get anywhere from $25 up to a $200 balcony discount! See the flyer at http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Crown_and_Anchor/16052085_CAS_Member_Appreciation.pdf No savings for me since the prices of my cruises have all increased substantially since booking, but you may want to check out your cruises or call to see if you can save money with this promo. And, speaking of the thread (http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2388411), it's almost 500 posts long, but the actions of the majority of the posters there as well as other C&A members, appear to have successfully persuaded Royal to rescind, or at least postpone and rethink, the proposed loss of balcony/suite discounts for cruises booked within 6 months of sail date. My thanks to all of them. ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted August 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2016 OFFer applies to new bookings only. All the sales say that however it is seldom enforced. (For those that booked under North American T&C's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaPalms Posted August 16, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) OFFer applies to new bookings only. What Ourusualbeach said while I was writing this. :D Most of the offers usually do say that but, rather than have people cancel and rebook (US and Canada), Royal has applied "new bookings only" promos and pricing to existing reservations in the past. In this case, a couple of people on that other thread posted that they called up and were able to get the higher tier discount applied to their cruises. Of course, since it's coupled with the 30% off sale, it really amounts to receiving 70% of the next tier balcony discount with Royal's math (current base price less balcony discount then 30% off what's left - one balcony discount per balcony/suite). Nothing to lose by calling if your calculations show a savings. ~ Judy Edited August 16, 2016 by FloridaPalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted August 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Not really...changed a few tonight myself for the higher discount. Did you lose anything? We booked on board in April and then got the "every third night free" promo. So, would we be repriced at the current promo or will they just apply the additional discount? Maybe I'll just stop in to my TA tomorrow and see what she finds out. Just did a dummy booking and with the new promotion we would save about $20. Not sure it is worth the hassle and might lose our OBC. Edited August 16, 2016 by luvscruising2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalDiamond Posted August 16, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Of our 14 bookings, 2 of them benefitted from repricing. I saved a whopping $34. That's 34 pulls on a dollar slot machine, which can turn into thousands!! LOL. Yeah, right. (Although I did win $1600 once on a penny machine on Oasis...)

Nothing here - well called in yesterday and got re-booking with lower price without handling charge. They have here 30e charge for changes. Difference between Platinum and Pinnacle would be 50 dollars for me -> basically got it nearly when they didn't take the charge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madiaka Posted August 17, 2016 #18 Share Posted August 17, 2016 When there are price drops or new sales and you have one of the reduced deposit promos, do they ever request the additional deposit amount if you get a price reduction? They didn't with the last sale, but not sure if that's standard. I know they have the option to ask for the full amount (not a big deal), just asking if they usually do.
