LConstable Posted July 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Everyone We are booked on the Adventure July' 19 (and wow was that a process almost completely sold out well over a year out - but I digress). We did the Oasis for our last RCCL but liked the thought (and savings) of not having to fly to the Port and even one day in Bermuda is a great cruise! For the Oasis we ended up purchasing some of the add on's while we were on board but this time I would like to pre-book the stuff I know we want before hand (ie. coffee cards and drink packages) - my question is I see from these boards and trip reports that folks are saying they got special prices on some of the extra's and I am wondering where /how you find out about those promotions? Do they appear in your cruise planner, are folks calling and asking for them? Any help is appreciated ..... Thanks so Much Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debitoo Posted July 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Keep checking your cruise planner. You are still pretty far out for any specials to appear. I have a Feb 2019 cruise booked and there are only excursions available for 2 of the 5 islands available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Girl 99 Posted July 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Yes, they will show up in the cruise planner if there is a sale, usually with a countdown banner at the top telling you how long the sale is going on. My mom also gets emails announcing the sales although I don't, but I'm not sure if I'm signed up for emails or not. Helpful advice I read from another poster and found to be true- look for the sales to start on Fridays and run through Sundays until midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted July 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2018 With the cruise more than a year away, you could start tracking the items in your cruise planner to see what the regular prices are, especially for excursions. I am targeting Black Friday for my pre-cruise purchases as RC usually discounts some cruise planner items at that time. However, if I see a great price before then, I will just buy it! That said, I have never seen the coffee card for a reduced price. Good luck and enjoy the planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin can Posted July 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We are on Adventure in August 2019. Dining, drinks packages and some shore excursions have been available in our cruise planner for a few months now but all the sales that have come and gone have not affected the price at all. I'm hoping a bit nearer the time this may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted July 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Our March 2019 sailings are not showing any discounts yet although I keep getting the emails about 30% off. I am seeing "sales" for November cruises but the prices are higher than I already paid for those. Keep watching. Might show up on the Memorial Day sales. Book when you get a good price - it is easy to cancel and rebook later if price goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LConstable Posted July 17, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 17, 2018 thanks everyone - I do have Black Friday bookmarked and will keep an eye out in my cruise planner - just wanted to make sure they weren't going to pop up in some secret place that I wasn't watching!

timf2001 Posted July 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The Cruise Planner sales generally apply to cruises up to 6 months out. For example, the current sale is good on cruises departing through 1/15/19. Black Friday may be an exception, but I've always booked in January for the coming fall and missed those deals.

HappyCruiser54 Posted July 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2018 We are also on Adventure on July 2019. Going on the 12th. I don’t think you see any special pricing on excursions or beverage packages until at least Black Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
