We have got two RCI cruises booked for 2019. One to the canaries and another to the Greek islands. Although not flagged as black Friday, the packages do seem to have got a few pounds cheaper over the last few days. Perhaps that's because to UK pound is a tiny bit stronger. Not booking any packages just yet anyway.

In my cruise planner this morning, the Deluxe Bev Package changed sales wording only.  Yesterday was 25% off onboard pricing, Today it says: Buy one, get one 50% off.  Still ends up being exactly the same price.  But I'm happy I got it yesterday because I was only buying one of each: Deluxe Bev package, and the other was DBP + Voom.  Perhaps they would have honored the deal anyway since I had to call it in, but no matter.  I got them now, and no price change since yesterday.

I also have the buy one get one for 50% off for the deluxe beverage showing up on my cruise planner for the Harmony Feb sailing, however when you put it into your cart the price is not showing a discount.  Called RCL and was told sorry that's the price, did not matter that it was advertised for 50% off the 2nd package.  Then they tried to sell me chocolate covered strawberries.  I was not amused.  Hope to get a call back today but I don't expect that I will.

 

Dining also did not come up with a discount although advertised.  Shore excursions did come with the advertised discount.  One out of three, thought RCL was better than that.

I agree, the only "big" drop I saw today was 2019 refreshment package which went from $26 to $17 which for our family of 4 saved $297. Also made it a no brainer for my wife and I not to do the DBP as we don't drink very much when cruising with the kids and the DBP hardly dropped so the difference is in price with the refreshment package was more than enough to make it cheaper just to buy 2-3 premium alcoholic drinks per day or even more if you are talking about a beer.

 

I also did the VOOM+STREAM for 2 devices which I think dropped quite a bit and is "50% off onboard prices" so about $19 a day total for the 2 devices.

Shore excursion deals are nice, but the cruise "sale" is pretty disappointing.  Price for what I am looking at next fall is exactly the same as earlier this week.  And last week, for that matter.  

 

Before the cruise planner crashed, I managed to cancel a shore excursion for next summer.  Can't rebook the lower priced replacement though.  😐

Same can be said for many Black Friday sales.  

 

The new camera I wanted is the same price today as last week.  A camera I don't want is cheaper.    

 

Some win, some don't.  I've saved nearly $200 from Royal's sales.  I'll take it.
