lizzie_m Posted December 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2018 We just booked 2 cruises that combined the 30% off with another discount called "Dashing", which was $75 off first guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the "percent off" numbers touted by Royal. They use some sort of unique mathematics to come up with those numbers, Just look at the bottom line cost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCe_ Posted December 22, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yes, i forgot to mention the "Dashing". Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the day I first start shopping for a cruise, until final payment, and sometimes even after that, I will do a mock booking of my trip. No matter what the promotion of the month is named, the price is always real close to being exactly the same. Now there have been times when the price did actually decrease, which I fully took advantage of, but the cynical side of me just says that they were short of their goal of xy% of cabins filled by yz date, and the price drop is ship specific, rather than fleet wide.

blackshirt Posted December 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It’s not any better or worse than any other promotion they run. Cruise fares are determined by supply and demand, not by whatever promotion they are runnng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing cynical about that - lack of sales on particular sailings are the main/only reason you see meaningful price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf2001 Posted December 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 22, 2018 There's always 25-30% off each guest, sometimes worded as 50-60% off the second guest. The only thing that changes is the instant savings or onboard credit that's offered in addition to it. Right now the bonus is okay but not as great as it can be.

clean1owner Posted December 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 22, 2018 We did actually have a price drop on our upcoming Adventure cruise. Couple months ago got contacted by the T/A and was told that we lost $25 in OBC, but the total price of the cruise went down almost $400! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
