I thought I read that travel agencies were still the primary purchase point for Royal's cruises, and travel agencies use a different website. Absolutely, but I'll bet most cruise planner purchases are done through website. 😉🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cruisers will have a hard time not understanding why the cruise line will not honor the pricing error. It works totally different with cruise lines. I wish you the best!

Rare John&LaLa Posted July 2, 2019 #253 Share Posted July 2, 2019 23 minutes ago, LeeW said: Yup. In our case we drink a couple of glasses of wine with dinner (now using Diamond free drinks) plus a bunch of Diet Coke. Maybe one more drink during the day. Since we had already bought the soda packages I figured we need to just average one drink a day and maybe a juice or water bottle to break even. Wasn't even sure I wanted to book at this price but did so for two cruises next year. Might try a couple of drinks we would not normally buy, but they will still make money on us. Last cruise bought exactly one alcoholic beverage plus the wine with dinner. These show up in Order History as "Deluxe Drink Package Special Offer". As of 9:30 MT still showing in Order History. If they cancel we will just go back to the soda package and they will make less money from us. Laura's White Zin costs under $4 a bottle. So less than $1 a drink. They'll make money on her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you get 40% off onboard as a P? That seems to be the best deal? Edited July 2, 2019 by Milwaukee Eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfish65 Posted July 2, 2019 #257 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well now when I tried, once you go to the purchase screen, they make you enter your res# etc., and then you get "this page cannot be displayed." I hope those whose purchases went thru end up getting the deal!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted July 2, 2019 #258 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If it gets cancelled and repriced to 3* the glitch price, I'll just have to drink three times as much, you know, to keep the value proposition the same 😄 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice the cost of this sale, so no go Yes, off onboard price. You said $5 off, that would be $45 based on current $50 pricing. Your 40% off would still beat $45.

awestover89 Posted July 2, 2019 #261 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The prices on the two cruises I booked it for have normalized; the one that was $16 per person per day is now $55 and the one that was $18 per person per day is now $50. My order history still shows the ones I purchased so far though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they overcharged for something people would be screaming. A mistake yes. Very similar to one I made when I accidentally cancelled the wrong RC excursion on their website before my last cruise and immediately called to explain but was told ‘I’m sorry but you’ll have to rebook at the now higher price’, which was significantly higher. Amazing how companies find ways to explain away their mistakes but when consumes make them their hands are tied. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D+ and P I know are unlikely to purchase the package at the 30%/40% off onboard pricing. Oasis Class has better options if you like certain beers and wines over other ships to P’s and Suite Guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of pool time. Wont be going ashore much 16 night Jewel repo from Rome to Dubai. Lots of sea days.

Rare mac_tlc Posted July 2, 2019 #268 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Price for Allure November 2020 TA is now up to $50. But, my order has not been cancelled yet. I had to think twice even at $18, but figured even we would break even at that, although our bar tab is never even that high. Oh well, we will see what happens. They really got themselves into a conundrum with their response that they were going to honor it. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough that this happened in the first place but to have conflicting information go out and continuing to sell the packages 6-7 hours after the fact sure has led to more negative responses than the initial error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
