Cruise Planner Sale?

[jmdx2]

So a new banner showed up across the top of my cruise planner, but nothing appears to be on sale...am I doing something wrong?

 

It says 30% off with a timer counting down.

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. Might just be the typical RC marketing technique.

Only 1 of the 6 cruises I have booked is showing the Cruise Planner sale. It is showing up on the Harmony Sept. 16 cruise. Some sporadic savings on excursions, spa treatments and something off the refreshment package.

For our Oasis 9/17 trip, they are offering a combined Deluxe and 7-nite specialty restaurant package (including sea day lunches) for $75 pp/pd plus tips.

 

Maybe this isn't new, but I haven't seen it before.

The problem with the planner is that it only shows the current price. It is not clear that it is a sale. Just checked mine and some prices are reduced but I only know because I have looked so many times I know most of the prices !!

In my cruise planner, the things on sale have magenta wording "price reflects sale pricing" (or words to that effect).

I have looked too, but it is only for selected sailings.

I've been checking every day. Ours has said 20% off $55 with the price reflects discount. Today there is a big orange banner across top that says 30% off and package is $55 with price reflects discount. Our sailing doesn't have the drink and dining package

I see it says "up to" 30% off. That includes zero percent off.

[jmdx2]

Sigh that's crappy

Yes. I was going to book our deluxe drink package and it is still the same price as before. £42.35 plus the 18% tax.

It's not a tax. It's the gratuity.

Have the coke pkg went up - it use to be 48.00 and now it says 70.00 I cruise two yrs ago?

Soda package should be $10 per day including gratuity.

WOW, I guess they went up :(

[clarky213]

Prices exactly the same as yesterday on my Radiance December cruise, although the Banner says 25% off onboard prices.

WOW, I guess they went up :(

The lowest I remember for adults was $8 per day, plus tips. Kids had a much lower price, but Royal removed the kid's price a few years ago.

The discount of 30% is off the Refreshment package. It is NOT off the deluxe package. I think people are misunderstanding the difference between the two. I think most think when they see refreshment=alcoholic. They are two different packages according to Royal Caribbean.

 

I am hoping the deluxe package will go down, but who knows?

According to Royal Caribbean Blog it is for both:

Spotted: Royal Caribbean offering up to 30% off pre-cruise purchases in Cruise Planner

Royal Caribbean's Pre-Sail Save on Faves Sale is offering up to 30% off select pre-cruise purchases made via the Cruise Planner.

The weekend sale is available for guests on select sailings, and offers discounts on services, such as unlimited drink packages, internet packages and even some shore excursions and spa treatments.

As is often the case with marketing, the devil is in the details. The qualifier "onboard prices" shouldn't be overlooked. Pre-cruise purchases are often less than onboard anyway, so any actual savings may not be as significant as the large "30% off" banner implies. Some savings is better than no savings, of course, but as always, caveat emptor.

It's strange, it list Allure 1/21/2018 as one of the discounted cruises and this cruise has been cancelled.

Royal does not display regular prices because there is no integrity to most of those prices! They just hope enough people will have no idea and perceive they are getting a good sale price!

Just got 10% off on Great Barrier Reef excursion on Radiance Feb 13, 2018 sailing. Thanks all for heading me in a good direction!

[noah53]
