debgreg Posted March 24, 2017 #26 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have just checked for May, UK it says £41.50 per day , then it says a 16.5% gratuity will be added to this booking 😲 Last time the price advertised was the price we paid ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted March 24, 2017 #27 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Our Sep Independence sailing is showing a price of £44.51 which I think is undiscounted (luckily we got it as a perk when we booked). For our Oasis sailing last month it had a 20% discount shown on the cruise planner plus for a couple of months they had another special that included the unlimited Voom internet package and Deluxe package for just £1 more than the discounted deluxe package.

debgreg Posted March 24, 2017 #28 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Do you pay now or later, its saying it has a 20% discount , I cant remember what it was last May on the Ovation but I do know it was a lot more on-board than online. Also wasn't Starbucks included in the ultimate package as its saying its not now ? Edited March 24, 2017 by debgreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debgreg Posted March 24, 2017 #29 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just went to add it but they want payment in full, so they will have my £700 for over 12mths Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 24, 2017 #30 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have heard that once you are booked and in your cruise planner you can often get offers on packages but didn't know how often this happened/if it was a constant. Thanks! I'll say nothing seems constant with Royal. I will also add this is another good reason to join your roll call. I booked our next cruise 710 days ago and probably have been in my cruise planner no more than 10 times in that 2 years. Sometime early this year, one of my roll call mates JDELTA announced to the group that he found a 30% sale on the drink packages. I told my friend who doesn't spend nearly as much time here as me :o. That friend canceled 2 drink packages and rebooked them at the sale saving a substantial amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa8 Posted March 24, 2017 #31 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I was booked on Allure and it said 30% off and now on Anthem its 20% off but price is pretty much the same, only off by a couple of dollars. I dont think you need to prebook 12 months in advance. Maybe wait till closer to sailing date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but as I mentioned in my post above, if the price does go down, you can cancel and rebook, but if you see what is called a "30% off sale" Chances are it will be the lowest price you will see.

Unless they have that great sale that was named the "sip & stream." It came up to 64cad for me, for the deluxe plan and internet plan. I missed it by one day and wasnt able to take advantage of it. When I called they said the deal expired. Others said RCL told them it was a glitch :rolleyes: It was only 3 dollars more than the deluxe plan. I'm just saying though, why give them your money 12 months out? Just wait until a couple of months out before doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted March 24, 2017 #34 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Interesting. I cruise on April 2nd and mine's 20% off, bringing it to $48 per person. I'm on the Oasis; what ship are you on? We are on the Oasis in October and I just paid $46 at the 20% sale price, not counting gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
