All offers have an expiration date. Once you pass the expiration date then yes it's TOUGH LUCK. 

 

I would have thought that in this highly unusual circumstances of the virus, that it would have beem different.

But I am a gambler, so I accept my losses. Just more disappointed than anything.

I went on an 8-night Empress of the Seas sailing in January. The last time I sailed Royal prior to that was in April 2018. 

 

While on Empress, I played slots in the casino probably 6 of the 8 nights, earning roughly 2250 points by the end of the cruise, having spent about $2500. I knew I wasn't going to quite reach the threshold to earn a free cruise but that was alright. But the day before disembarking they placed a letter in my room giving me $500 off a future cruise. 

 

Within the last couple of months (before all this virus mess started) I have gotten 3-4 mailings offering me a free cruise for two on certain sailings in the months up until September. I couldn't take advantage of any of those, as I have a Harmony of the Seas sailing booked for October. None of the offers I'd received in the mail went out as far as October.

 

Last night I came across this thread advising of the Club Royale Offers website. Out of curiosity I checked and lo and behold there was an offer out there for a complimentary Caribbean cruise in an Oceanview cabin with $100 in free slot play for the period of September to December 2020. I called and it is valid for any sailing except holiday sailings and Odyssey sailings. Since this includes my Harmony sailing and we were not past final payment, we booked the same Harmony sailing using the casino offer, paid to upgrade to a Balcony cabin (Oceanview, not Boardwalk or Central Park), and cancelled our original Harmony booking. We were originally in a Central Park Balcony with our original booking. For the new booking, the fee to upgrade from an Oceanview to an Oceanview Balcony cabin was $215 per person. We saved over $1300 by switching to the casino offer. 

 

I'm Choice, evidently, since I didn't earn 2500 points to move to Prime. The Club Royale Offers website is showing six other offers in addition to the one I booked, including a complimentary interior on Med sailings this year and another complimentary Oceanview for Caribbean sailings in July and August. I didn't think I'd get offers like this since I didn't earn 2500 points, but they keep coming.

 

Whether this cruise will sail in October is anyone's guess. But at this point, by switching offers I saved a ton of money and I don't owe a large final payment at the end of July. So I won't be in the boat of having to decide whether to make the large final payment or cancel, wondering if it'll sail in October. We can still cancel before the final payment date and receive all our money back, or wait and see if it's going to sail or if it's going to be cancelled, and go from there with whatever options are offered for reimbursement. 

I took advantage of a similar offer a couple days ago.  Booked my free cruise for two and it includes two passes to Thrill waterpark at CocoCay.  I hope things are back to normal by November!  I almost missed the date I had to book by....I will never ignore another email from Royal again!

I also got a bunch of these offers in my email and figured they weren't real. I really only had gambled on 2 different cruises and i don't think I ever got to 2500 points. But oddly enough I got an email stating I had received a free cruise for 2 that I could use from July-September and with all this happening I wasn't sure to even look into booking one and didn't think it was real. I called a local travel agent and sent her a picture of the email offer and asked if this was real and if it was is it actually a free cruise and she told me it was real and that I just had to pick one out and it would be free for 2 people. Well then a few days later I got one that was a free cruise for 2 from September to December. Well the wife and I had decided on a 12 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise out of NJ on December 7th but I figured there as no way that they would give us a 2 week cruise for free. Well low and behold I was able to book it and I signed on to make the payment and it said that the cruise was $3,659 and that the cruise payed $3,659 and that my balance due was $306.00 for taxes and fees and that was it and it was paid in full. I COULDN'T believe I just got this 2 week cruise for free. I agree with what someone else said I will never ignore another email from Royal Caribbean again. Fingers Crossed That by December we will be able to cruise again!!!!

My wife and I have 2 cabins through the points earned at the Casino. We would like to bring my son and his wife along. However, they are expecting a baby in July 2024. They wish to cruise in Feb.2025 when the baby is more than 6 months old. Do we have to pay for bringing a baby along?

Welcome to CC.

Yes, unlike the airlines, RCI charges for every soul on board - though it could be as little as just taxes.
