I did not say anything about Black Friday. The UDP math has been incorrect on our Cruise Planner for quite some time. I wanted the reps to realize that the cost advertised, $20 per day X 14 days, did not equal $336 and correct their advertising - one way or the other. That’s all! THEY were the ones who couldn’t grasp simple math and kept bringing up their Black Friday sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted November 29, 2019 #278 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Decent deal on refreshment package for my Feb Oasis sailing. Nothing else looks too spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, this whole thread is about BF sales and issues. Your post might have belonged a bit better in the generic web site issues thread.

Not sure what the gratuity % is, but if the gratuity is 20%, could the math be $20x14= $280 * 20% gratuity to get to the $336? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is indeed the case then it is a very new change. Try putting it in your cart. Does it add the gratuity.

wahooker Posted November 29, 2019 #287 Share Posted November 29, 2019 My wife and I are in separate rooms because of kids but under the same booking For some bizarre reason, when she called about the Black Friday sale, they said they cant do the buy one get one half off because we are not sharing a room.

FlotheFloof Posted November 29, 2019 #288 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I found a couple bargains for our July 2020 Baltic cruise. Refreshment package went from $28 pp to $18 pp, internet packages dropped as well. The excursions didn't drop by much, mostly, but the Stockholm, Sweden tour that we wanted anyway was down 25%. So, I got those three--the refreshment package, internet for 6 devices (1 pp, suck it up, kids!), and the one excursion. Other excursion savings were in the $5-10 range--not worth it for us, since they weren't ones we were interested in, anyway. The Sweden one was the only one we all knew we wanted. We're still debating the other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue but we do have two separate reservation numbers. We’re in connecting rooms because of 4 kids. I’m hoping they have a deal works for us on Cyber Monday.

See got a door buster for yarn $4.88. I reminded her that on the previous Sunday she purchased the same yarn on sale for $5 plus a 20% discount coupon which comes to $4. Her big door buster sale cost her .88 more 5 days later at the big BF sale. Everyone is so blinded about the great deals on BF that they sometimes are paying more. Needless to say DW was not pleased.

You do not actually get 50% off the price you see listed for the second guest. The discount is already factored in, it actually says " the price already includes your discount" If it says $50 pp and you are on a 7 fay cruise of you purchase it for 1 it will be $50x7 plus 18% gratuity which is $413. If you purchase it for 2 people the total will be $50 x 7 x 2 plus the gratuity for a total of $816 I have cruises booked both ways with the kids and it works out the exact same per person regardless of how many adults are in the room. Yes Royals advertising is misleading, and their phone reps are worse. Edited November 29, 2019 by Ourusualbeach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaPalms Posted November 29, 2019 #296 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I normally don’t buy internet packages (just maximize my diamond 24 free hours) but I have family sailing in three separate cabins on Independence in February and we will need to keep in touch with each other. Unfortunately, I understand Independence doesn’t have the chat feature in the Royal app. My Cruise Planner has a 4 device surf & stream for $23.99 per day which I believe I could share. Is this a good price or another phony Black Friday deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
