Taylors Posted September 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Hi all, we are new to RCL. Found a great deal on the Oasis for next month. Deal is on a 3rd party online website. It is $300 more booking direct with the cruiseline. Plus they don't have the same category (ocean view balcony guarantee) only a non specific balcony, and we do not want to end up with an interior balcony. I have kids that will need to nap during the day. I've always booked Carnival (so excited to try RCL!!) And always booked direct because they guarantee the lowest price. Does RCL? Has anyone booked from a 3rd party before? Were there issues? Edited September 3, 2018 by Taylors Remove travel website name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2018 One of the rules of this website is that we are not allowed to mention specific travel agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted September 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2018 RC does not guarantee a lower price than travel agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswallow Posted September 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2018 You say a cruise next month, as in October 2018? Is it a sailing from the Going, Going, Gone sale? http://www.creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/rci_sales_event.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is you'll probably get some obc as well through the t/a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted September 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just looking on some online t/a's sites and man there are some great rates on xn (interior balcony gty) for oct on most Oasis Class ships.

September 30th from Orlando on the Oasis. Called this morning after I posted and they had the same rate and room category for the same price. So we booked!! Only 27 days to go!

We always book through a online TA, even when booking direct we always switch to the online TA to pick up perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
