coldflame Posted June 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hey folks, Sorry for pet-peeve here, but I find the "Price has changed!" message in cruise planner cart very unhelpful. Did the price increase? Did it drop? By how much? Is it a timed promotion? They could make it so much more helpful with some minor tweaks and yet I've seen it at least for the last 2 pre-covid years. Wonder if anyone knows of good channel to provide them with that "user experience" feedback? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet524 Posted June 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Guess I'd assume price had gone down. Why would you bother to post about a price going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you monitor the price daily you will never know because they never reveal the current on board pricing. My my biggest pet-peeves with Royal are the fake discounts. I have seen drink packages advertised as a discount that were higher than I paid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh this has been a practice the Big 3, partake on that's simply ludicrous they can get away with it and applies to fares too. I've seen "super sales" on fares that when you price it results in higher price than fare w/o said promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was included when giving you a price on cruise planner items. My Coco Cay Cabana was advertised at a certain price but then after purchasing it tax was added...Perhaps I'm wrong about old purchases.

Rare John&LaLa Posted June 17, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Does it really matter? You either like the price, or you don’t. Just a marketing ploy. Only You can decide if you can accept it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past dining pkgs and individual reservations "included" the grats. Now it's a seperate item when you prepay. Recent change, I believe. Added taxes seems odd Edited June 17, 2021 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the highest taxed county on Long Island you just look past the tax and assume that it will be charged at some point. When I price a cruise I just calculate the cost of the room before tax and port charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
