D+ discounts on suites?

[imola]

I know that I should know this but...  I have looked at sailings using standard booking and then at a different time using our C&A numbers to see what our discount prices would be .  They are the same both ways.  Is the C&A discounts now only available on certain cruises?  We have always gotten them in the past.  TIA for any info you can share.

Many "sales" nullify/lower the C&A discount, so yes you only get it sometimes. Find a group with a TA and you can apply it all the time.

Freqeuently, the current "sale" discount is greater than the D+ discount, so you can only use the "sale" price.  So much for loyalty discounts...

Balcony discounts are only combinable with the base sale of 30% off.  They are not combinable with the extra savings, instant savings or additional OBC offers that most often accompany the base sale.  In a suite these offers are generally more than the D+ discount so you do not get the balcony discount.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for suites, only balconies and below.

That happened to me on my grand suite in November on harmony but the price was really good 2400 each .

Missed that detail in the title.

Thank you folks.  As always you are helpful.  We have a TA but they didn't seem to know about D+ discounts.  I am just disappointed that I thought it was a perk we earned only to realize only sometimes.  Oh well we will still be sailing and that is a good thing. lol

My experience is that generally the balcony discount on a suite is paltry when compared to the overall cost of the suite.  I just tell myself the "sale" price is probably better than the non-sale price with the balcony discount and move on.

We did get suite discount on most of our suites.
