NikkiandMom Posted February 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi- Does anyone know if a person cruises solo, will they receive double points for staying in a double room? Also, what about a studio single? I have spoken to 2 different agents and received different answers. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleueyes44 Posted February 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yes you do get double points when paying double for cabin. Now a solo cabin not sure but I'd assume it would be regular points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted February 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If booking a double-occupancy room for one person, you get one point for being in the room and an extra point for being in a double-occupancy room (even if no single supplement gets charged). [2 points per night] If booking a single-occupancy room for one person, you get one point for being in the room. [1 point per night] If either of these scenarios were booked before September 30, 2021, for a sailing before December 31, 2022, the points earned would be doubled. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can someone book a double occupancy room solo without a single supplement (ie 150% or 200%) getting charged??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have 340+ C&A points (still 150%) or are lucky to find one which RCI offers like that (solo % can vary).

Yes, I have 340+ points and get 150% but I have never seen RCI offer solo without supplement. Perhaps during the pandemic when I wasn't paying attention.

Even before pandemic, Oasis had some sailings with 100% supplement (mostly neighborhood) - there were just more of them during the early days of the pandemic - they seem to be getting rare again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most here refer to the "normal" pricing as being a 200% solo supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celoplyr Posted February 3, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2022 To answer the original question, I received 1 point for a solo cabin, and 2 points when I'm in a "normal" cabin. I've never had anything other than paying an extra person's fare for a double cabin. I liked the solo cabin, but for the price, would rather have that double occupancy. It's usually not much more expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked Oasis Oct 2021, Anthem Dec 2021, and Anthem NYE 2021. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeagleAgility Posted February 3, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am booked on the Anthem in March. I booked a regular balcony room for just myself and the price was actually LOWER than the Studio Solo room. Figured it was a win all around - I get more space AND get the double points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's glitch in the IT programming, sometimes it's a sailing without a lot of bookings. I've never seen it as an advertised sale of "no single supplement" on Royal -- it's just something you happily run across when checking prices. More likely to happen during off-season months (kids in school, hurricane season, no holidays, not spring break time, etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropiclvrs Posted February 7, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I received only single points for my solo (double room) just recently. Has the rule changed at all? My solo fare was not 200%, 150% etc...I got a great deal! Would that make any difference? I'm going to call C&A but want to be prepared before I do.

tottenhamfc Posted February 7, 2022 #17 Share Posted February 7, 2022 If you originally booked a cruise and were eligible for the double points, will they still honour if you price check and get a better rate. The booking date is the date of the new price, so wondering if that is considered a new booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it doesn't matter how much you paid, just that you sailed solo in a double-occupancy room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the booking number didn't change, you should be good to go for the double points promotion, assuming the initial booking was prior to 9/30/2021.

tottenhamfc Posted February 7, 2022 #20 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Ok thanks. Booking number is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted February 7, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Two things here. You should have received 1 point per night plus 1 point per night for being solo in a non-studio cabin. This is for any cruise, booked any time. If you booked before the end of Sept, you should then see those points doubled. So (1+1)x2 = 4 points per night, times the number of nights for your cruise.

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 7, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Another points/math question: We booked before the Sept. cut-off timeframe for double points. We're in a Cat. GS for 9 nights in total in a suite which gives us double C&A points = 18 pts. Do we get 18 pts. total (double the usual 1 pt. per night) or 27 pts.? (double the usual 1 pt. per night for the suite + double the 9 base-points for booking during the double-points promotion)? Help? Thanks in advance. Can't get through to the C&A Desk.

Each person in a regular room gets one point. Each person in a suite gets an additional point. So your "normal" number would be two points per night, times 9 nights would normally be 18 points. Since you booked during the promotion, you get double your "normal" points. Double of 18 is 36 points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an unannounced sale in August and first week of September where double occupancy cabins were being priced as solo. I took advantage and saved some $500 on my January 22 Allure sail. This was brought up by a considerate and informative CC member, whose handle escapes me. Also, just reached the 340 point mark, how do I reflect in any mock bookings. Did mock booking before and after points posted and bottom line cost remains the same. Is there some magic that I need to perform.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
