"See if you qualify for exclusive rates" is a joke!

We were looking at taking the 9 day cruise on Grandeur leaving Feb 1, 2018 just as a quick getaway for the winter. When I went through the booking for an OV cabin the total is $1,388. Pretty good. Oops--forgot to check if we qualify for exclusive rates. When I put in our C&A number, senior status, and state, the price jumped to $1,688! WTH!!!

It's possible there are no "exclusive" rates on your category/sailing, however you may want to call to confirm. It's a very quirky website.

There are no "bargains"...the "sales" are lame at best. When you see a price you can live with..book it and consider yourself lucky!

The higher price was for Senior. I just thought it was very odd that the website didn't simply offer the best available price. Just another glitch I suppose. No biggie, but others may want to be aware to try unchecking any "exclusive rates" that they may be eligible to receive since those rates are higher.

That's the way with Royal site. I have 2 cruises coming up that had to book a second passenger even though I'm traveling alone, this to get a better rate. Will cancel ltr to get 2nd passenger taxes refunded. Then as most know very few Military discounts but I always check both ways. Time consuming to check everyday but I've saved thousands in last couple yrs...

Not always. I got an extra $200 my booking for C&A discounts last time.
