Royals New "This Is A Big Deal" promotion - Actually it's a MASSIVE price increase!

[sfaaa]

Unless you have a crystal ball, book when you see a price you are happy with.

[John Reid]

No body is forcing you to book Royal and no one cares if you book another line. People on here regularly book others.

 

You are such a wad.

Never read the words.

 

Always do the math.

I've been looking at booking a balcony cabin on Allure in February 2019 for a 7 night cruise.

 

Yesterday the price was showing as £579 per person, not including my Diamond discount.

 

I had heard that a new bookings promotion was about to start today so held off booking.

 

The new promotion has started today, you now get "free" Deluxe drink packages for the first 2 passengers in the cabin and "free" wifi for one passenger. The only problem is that the price is now £967 per person, an increase of £388 (Around $524) per person or £776 ($1050) increase in total for my wife and I.

 

The increase in price is outrageous, Royal must think we are fools, I definitely wont be booking at those prices.

 

What I don't understand is that there doesn't appear to be an option to book and to not take the "free" stuff so if you are not a drinker you are stuck with these ridiculously high prices.

 

I really don't want to but is it time to start having a look at what alternative cruise lines have to offer?

 

Just wait for the next promotion & that should not be too long as they tend to have a new one each week.

These free offers are usually for cruises of 6 nights or more,we have a reasonably priced 5 night cruise in a few weeks.

As D+ these offers don't appeal to us either.
