Flojoe8 Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi there. we have recently returned from a b2b on Quantum of the seas (the second cruise was a prime free cruise ) . Whilst onboard we (husband and self) both made prime again and both earnt over 4000pts ea. The certificate we each received onboard had a list of cruises we could go on in a balcony cabin or the trade in value of each certificate was $1000 US. ea. My querie is: If I book another b2b (nye cruise 7 nights and then the next cruise 7 nights again on Quantum (as this is really the only time of the year we can get away) can I (make booking and pay deposit for the 2 cruises) apply both trade ins to the first cruise (as has to be used within 30days) then when the prime cruises come out in April, apply them to the booking I made (the 2nd cruise).hope all That makes sense. So basically I am asking can I apply prime freebies to an existing booking. (Normally we combine both certificates 2 x insides = outside then pay to upgrade to balcony and apply the trade in value certificates to the nye cruise. Thanks in advance If you can follow me 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted January 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I asked a similar question and was told by Club Royale that a cruise must be originally booked using any casino offer, then they change the offer code to the free cruise when it is available. A booking made without a casino offer cannot be converted to the free cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we just got off from a cruise that wasn’t booked with a casino offer and we applied our prime free cruise to it. (Did a b2b abs second cruise was the free prime one) Difference being, I booked it when I had my prime cruise code (after April last year) this time I am wanting to book cruise now before I receive my prime cruise.(another b2b) (So can pay deposit) now and apply when voucher out. When I looked on Rccl site it did say that it could be applied to any booking already made as long as it wasn’t past final payment date. But I was hoping someone has done this so I knew for sure. thanks again. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted January 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2023 You know how it goes - the answer I received from one person on one day may not be the answer given by another person on another day 😂. Something to watch out for, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted January 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Since the 1st leg is a NYE sail, you may have difficulty getting a free cruise due to the special pricing attached to those sails. However, you probably can apply one of the $1k instant rewards certs. If I understand your inquiry correctly. Ps. Get in touch with the Royal Cassino desk.

Yes I will but as we are in Aus it makes it a bit hard as we get very conflicting advice from Rccl here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We in the States have a direct Casino desk number, and I find those folks to be more knowledgeable and accommodating than the rest including the C&A desk. When I get an instant cert on board, I can only use by contacting the CR desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get a certificate onboard (well actually I did) but I know I can use its trade In value on any cruise, it’s the prime cruise that I will get in April I am mainly referring to. If I can apply that to an existing booking. i will try and call and see how I go. Guessing I could always cancel cruise and rebook and apply on a new booking with prime cruise. thank you for your help and advice. 🙏 Edited January 20, 2023 by Flojoe8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
