copnlpn2 Posted July 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2006 We're doing a 4-day Bahamas cruise leaving Oct. 23 aboard the Sovereign of the Seas. I booked the trip nearly a year ago and have monitored the rates nearly every day since then. Have already received two minor price reductions (approx $36 on the 3 cabins we reserved). BUT Friday when I checked the RCCL website, I noticed they had posted not only senior discount rates, but priced drops on nearly all cabins regardless of age. The rate for my Deck 2 Oceanview dropped $90, which I re-applied to get an Oceanview on Deck 9 instead. I had also booked two Cat N cabins (2 people in each) and got anothe $90 each off those rooms! So all in all I saved $270, using $90 of that to upgrade one of our three cabins...and still came out $180 ahead!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!

copnlpn2 Posted July 25, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Kc320 - In case you're interested, *****.com has a special section dedicated to senior discounts. I check their site often... BTW, after thinking about it, I upgraded our other two cabins, too, and still saved $10! Hope your Halloween experience onboard is better than ours last year aboard the Mariner. We all brought special costumes, but there were very little special Halloween activities, other than a parade of costumes along the Promenade.:( Happy sailing!

copnlpn2 Posted August 15, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Visland - can you call RCCL without it being a long-distance call? I'd ask them directly about senior rates for non-Americans. If you can't call them for free, let me know and I'll call for you and post the info here. BTW - I did check the newest (just posted minutes ago) Promowaves sales list for your cruise, but didn't see it listed among those on sale... check it out at: http://www.creative.rccl.com/sales/promowave/RCL.pdf Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VISLAND Posted August 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thank you, so much for your response, I do appreciate it, Yes! I will certainly check it out with RCCL, but, It is probably too late now, however, we will be informed for future travel. Thanks again for your kindness.

copnlpn2 Posted August 16, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Rebecca -It's never too late, or hardly ever too late, to take advantage of a posted reduction in rates. Go for it! Contact RCCL and good luck to you! Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VISLAND Posted August 18, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Cindy, I did check with RCCL. and was put on hold, ( listening to their commercials!!) several times, so I eventually gave up, at my age , time is too precious, ha.ha. Anyway, our T.A. told us that there was no discount on this cruise..... also, I checked out the Promowave page that you mentioned, however we will sure be prepared in our future travels. Thanks again for your input. Rebecca :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
