Husky1987 Posted April 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Sometimes it pays to check the everlasting "sales" every once in awhile.... Just gave up my C&A discount on our JS 9618 cruise on Navigator in Nov. 2018. Price of the cruise went up $150, but came with $300 in OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted April 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I must have booked at just the right time for my cruise in August, my cabin is now $1,100 more than when I booked. I don't think I'll ever see that much of a drop. Edited April 18, 2017 by The Grumpus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted April 18, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I most have booked at just the right time for my cruise in August, my cabin is now $1,100 more than when I booked. I don't think I'll ever see that much of a drop. I also think I got pretty lucky in the initial booking as this is a 9 day sailing, so the third night free gives a little more off than the two free nights you get on a 7 or 8.

Clarea Posted April 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2017 None of the current prices on our booked cruises are within a few hundred dollars of when we booked, so yet another promo we cannot use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted April 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Over this weekend sale I saved $1.00 (;))...but it wasn't about this windfall. I was originally booked on Anthem in a D3 #9314 very far aft...I have and will continue to watch the availability...sailing in October 2017...and when I saw a D1 #9644 available I jumped on it. Keeping my $150. OBC from booking onboard Harmony last month but loosing my $250.00 C&A discount. Now I'm hoping a JS becomes open at a reasonable price....which it certainly isn't right now :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 9318 on the Explorer in Alaska later this year.... Now if I could only get us $300 OBC...... Go Saints!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky1987 Posted April 18, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Why do you lose the C&A discount? For me, it was a case of the OBC not being combinable with the C&A discount. I just lucked out that the stars aligned and the OBC was more than the discount. I've checked before and that usually isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted April 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Good for you, glad some people are making out.:) This cruise is in Feb 2019. How many more phone calls will I be making between now and then?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted April 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Why do you lose the C&A discount? Not combinable with the weekend sale...seems like that's happening more & more with RCI. But I did go from a D3 to a D1 with a much better location larger balcony and for $1.00 less. That's the reason I called was to get that cabin...this cruise is a popular one and good locations/categories went a long time ago...this cruise wasn't really planned ... Just decided it while onboard last month....so kinda of a last minute decision....at least for me. I'm an early planner also booked a B2B for August 2018 and waiting for the Asia cruises to come out for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Why do you lose the C&A discount? Anytime they offer a "promo OBC" or "instant discount", the C&A discount is not combinable. It usually serves as a way to exclude C&A members from a promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelplus Posted April 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Checked the sail and it seems like we got the best deal. This sail is good for new people or those who paid more. $300 OBC is going to make you giddy:hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewdrewcruiser Posted April 18, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've been tracking prices for a balcony cabin. The current $200 OBC doesn't help much when the price of the cruise went up $200 from what it was just the day before. Can't wait for this "sale" to end to see what they come up with next.

dani negreanu Posted April 18, 2017 #23 Share Posted April 18, 2017 when I saw a D1 #9644 available I jumped on it. We had 7644. Awesome location. I couldn't believe my luck when it opened one day :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it define "suite" anywhere? Wondering if a JS is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
