Another_Critic Posted September 11 #2 Share Posted September 11 Thanks, but already booked during those sailings (Odyssey in Nov and Allure in Feb). 🙂 Note that the mentioned deals are not only good for solos, but would also be good for people that normally book double or triple. Each person would get the extra solo point, any shareholder OBC (if each person owes 100+ shares), and any applicable RCI or TA OBC. And ... an extra bathroom! Book connecting or side by side and open the balcony divider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense. They have lots of unsold inventory and they are slashing prices to get bodies on board 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal single supplement is 200% which means you are basically paying for 2 people (less the taxes and fees) so when there is no supplement you are only paying for 1 person...it's half the usual price that solo's would usually pay. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. I thought you were referring to the 50% off you get off when sailing solo as a D+ with 340 days. I have never used it so don’t know too much about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used it so don’t know too much about it What you get at 340 points is a 150% solo supplement which works out to 25% off the total price. Example Per person pricing $1000 room for 2 is $2000 Normal room for 1 is $1000 x 200% = $2000 150% supplement $1000 x 150% - $1500 No solo supplement $1000 x 100% = $1000 Prices are without taxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patattack Posted September 12 #15 Share Posted September 12 I would contemplate this if I was already retired. 238 days till retirement. I would get off Utopia, spend night in hotel and get on Freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no solo supplement on these sailings so yes the price is less than what it would be using your DP340 discount that has a 150% solo supplement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you booked a cabin that is double occupancy, not if you booked a solo cabin which isnt what ken is posting about. To me this is more evidence that the crazy price hikes we were seeing ran into a wall and now there are last minute deals. Before the only way to get good deals was to book ahead, those days seem to be mostly gone. There are last minute deals again. I've seen some good deals, even on suites, those prices are coming down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. You are getting double points because you are paying for more than 1 guest. In this case you are only paying for 1 guest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the theory that pricing was getting crazy and they need to find ways to sell cabins. I know its just one data point, but we had booked on Wonder a ~$8K sky class suite and at the time of our initial booking the Royal Loft suite was well over $30K for the week. Given its a fall week when most kids are in school - it appears to me someone at corporate or more likely the computer algorithm realized they weren't going to sell it at that price or anything close and we were awarded it in the Royal up bid program for less than half the original cost more than a month before sailing.
