Retired LEO Posted November 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2017 When does a promotion happen during the year & what does Royal Caribbean call them ? TIA "Fake" sales and they occur all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2017 "Fake" sales and they occur all year. And the name of the fake sales vary, but the prices mostly stay the same.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted November 22, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In the past we have seen sales by Royal Caribbean with some major price mark downs .just don't recall the timing & name of the sales .Can any one help ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNole Posted November 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In the past we have seen sales by Royal Caribbean with some major price mark downs .just don't recall the timing & name of the sales .Can any one help ? TIA I have only been monitoring the past month or so and Oasis sailings are fluctuating at insane rates. 2 weeks ago the 12/24 sailing was $1250pp indoor, right now it is $700pp. Based on what I've seen, the "sales" are completely irrelevant. You can easily get a cheaper fare during a non-sale period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted November 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2017 A couple of weeks ago they were having a sale (can't remember the name of promo) and I could have had an balcony guaranteed on a 7 night Anthem cruise sailing the 1st 2 weeks after Thanksgiving for less than $600 per, ex tax/fees. No C&A balcony discount was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted November 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In the past we have seen sales by Royal Caribbean with some major price mark downs .just don't recall the timing & name of the sales .Can any one help ? TIA Forget about "sales" or "mark downs", they call their current pricing something like that 24/7/365. It's simply a matter of what is todays price. Which can vary all the time.

CruisingNole Posted November 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Forget about "sales" or "mark downs", they call their current pricing something like that 24/7/365. It's simply a matter of what is todays price. Which can vary all the time. And vary by as much as double or half in a 24 hour period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted November 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Every time they change the "sale" terms, three things are sure to happen: 1. Some folks will save some money 2. Some folks won't save money 3. Some of the folks who don't save money will come crying on CC because they think every time the terms change it should reduce their price.

kevinyork Posted November 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Slightly different here in the UK. A couple of times a year their promo sale includes the Deluxe Drinks package. If you like a drink then that’s a better deal. We booked Symphony for May 18 in Sep just gone and after the free drinks package deal ended last month the cruise price went up and hasn’t come down yet.

Rare wilmingtech Posted November 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 22, 2017 A couple of weeks ago they were having a sale (can't remember the name of promo) and I could have had an balcony guaranteed on a 7 night Anthem cruise sailing the 1st 2 weeks after Thanksgiving for less than $600 per, ex tax/fees. No C&A balcony discount was available. We jumped on this sale! It was a pretty good deal. It was BOGO and KSF all in one. So we ended up with 6 of us in two balconies (D3 & D8) for 3600$ (600 ea) Plus another 600 in taxes. In addition we got 650 OBC. Not a bad deal. It was cheaper than the pricing for inside rooms or 1 balcony and 1 inside. I will say that as i was checking prices 3 days later the sale was definitely over and they did not have any more rooms for more than 2 persons. Another week later and it was pretty much sold out. Point being if you see a good price, get it quick. They don't always last long. Most of the good deals will come and go within a day. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
