tpcwags Posted June 28 #1 Share Posted June 28 Considering a 7 day NB on Radiance 9/5/25. Should I book at current BOGO at discount sale or will it be offered again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted June 28 #2 Share Posted June 28 It's always offered. Book now, if the price goes lower you can reprice. However if you wait and the price goes higher you can't go back in time. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCLNYMETS41 Posted June 28 #3 Share Posted June 28 They are always offering a "sale." The advantage of booking early is better cabin selection, & if the price drops prior to final payment, you can get the adjustment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted June 28 #5 Share Posted June 28 Cruises are on sale 365, there is never a "normal" price. Book when it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted June 28 #6 Share Posted June 28 RCL just celebrated the 10th anniversary of this “sale”. It started in May 2014 and hasn’t skipped a beat since. The words may change every month, but the bottom line never moves.😇 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 28 #7 Share Posted June 28 If you're ready to book, go ahead and book. It's always a risk to wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior & ocean views on this cruise are a really good price right now. Although I never ever book this early, I think this is one that you should book now. I've seen Radiance + Brilliance as low as $399 the past 2-3 years after final payment, However add almost $300 in port fees and taxes, and those came out to approximately $700pp, which is the current offered price for an interior GTY. I don't think this one can get much cheaper.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is all so a risk if you book early, Royal Caribbean might cancel the cruise near sail date as they having been doing a lot recently. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you lose any money or did they refund your deposit and let you book a different cruise? I really don't see this as a deterient to booking early and then watching for cruise price drops which we do all the time and on our upcomming cruise actually repriced it twice and cut the price by almost a thousand dollars over the original price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's three (actually a dozen or so per year). Out of a couple thousand RC cruises per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were booked on Allure EB TA a few years ago and it was canceled but they moved us to the Wonder ( in its 1st year) at no additional cost. We really got a good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
