RCL Just imprsessed me!!!!!

[ckp19]

Hey everyone, we just made our final payment for our April 26th Freedom cruise on Saturday (1st time with RCL....7 Carnival,1 Disney,1 ncl).

 

Have always watched the price right up to final payment and there was never a change, accually our 2 promenade rooms went up once. So today when I checked I seen a residency rate special (we are from Nova Scotia,Canada) Holy crap $580 per cabin (we have 2 adjoining) So I thought to myself , "Nice time for a price drop now that they have full payment from everyone", so I decided to call and was ready for a fight of my life to get this pricing:mad: ...figuring there was small print about this "special" that doesn't apply to my boooking,

 

I called explained the pricing I see online they looked and said " your absolutley correct , Because your Canadian we can't give you an on board credit we will credit back your credit card $580 x 2 rooms"

 

Thank you RCL for honourning your "if you price lowers anytime before you sail you will recive the lower price policy"

 

A even happier cruiser:)

Congratulations. A very nice price drop and savings. Royal Caribbean is really good when it comes to this.

[jules815]

Congrats on your price drop. We've had this happen before after it's been paid for, and it's a nice pre-vacation bonus!

[missbogota]

Monday they credited back $430.00 to my credit card. The young lady I spoke with couldn't have been nicer, and wished me happy sailing and thanked me for cruising Royal Caribbean.

 

It doesn't get any better than this!!!

I had $1500 credit in the last 2 weeks on my April cruise, they offered to credit my credit card, but instead I asked that they apply the credit to my July booking which they did straight away.:D

RCI and Integrity ....

that's what I keep saying. Too bad airlines, hotels, and cell phone companies can't have a little Integrity like RCI!

We switched to a guarantee cabin last year, and they credited back $600 to us immediately, and they were very friendly and congratulated us on our savings .

Congrats to you & to RCCL.

We will be sailing The Freedom on Sunday. She is an awesome ship.

We sailed on her 2 years ago. You will love it.

[mwne2nks]

I just noticed a price drop on our upcoming cruise. I called my TA and she didn't think so. I was wrong, but at least I tried. My price actually went up and the ship looks pretty full.

[mwne2nks]

ok even better news! We traded to a slightly smaller room still a balcony and saved $ 630.00 WOO woo

[land lover]

I have a feeling RCI will see that cash back thorugh your sending on the ship.............way to go....I love it when people save money.:)

[mwne2nks]

Ha HA . We only spent 550 last year on our set sail pass. and won a couple hundred in the casino.

I just couldn't see spending $600 dollars for a few sq feet in a room we barely see anyway.

I wouldn't give up the balcony that IS important to us.

[snausman]

What a wonderful surprise for you to find!

 

Congrats

After reading through some of the postings I wondered if the original price I paid had changed since I paid in full in September sometime. It dropped about $110 per person plus I had paid the fuel surcharge. I called about the fuel and they said it would be an onboard credit... Do I need to call the same to get the price drop return?

[tomko2]

Love reading posts like this one! This is why we are loyal to Royal!

Where can I get more info on this "if you price lowers anytime before you sail you will recive the lower price policy" Policy?

 

How exactly does it work?

 

Is it only if full payment hasnt been made or only if full payment has been made?

 

Thank you for your assistance

Yes, if you see a lower price, it is up to you to call and request the price difference. I understand some TA's watch for their clients, but ultimately it would be your respnsibility. And timeliness matters. If you wait and the price drop ends, you will have missed it.

What I do is do a 'pretend' booking. I start by selecting my sailing and check the appropriate boxes (state residency, military, 55+). Then if I see a price drop, I call my TA (or RCCL if booked directly through them). That's all there is too it. :)

Wow, I didn't know about this policy either. Thanks for posting the info and congratulations on the great savings :D

 

I always watch for price drops but in the past the price always went up. I guess I always picked a popular sailing.....

I booked directly thru RCL Navigator for 3/23 about 2 weeks ago and just checked and there was a price drop of $50/pp on the Promenade rooms--we got $200 credit--definately worth a 5 minute phone call

If you are from Arkansas there is even a residency rate on the promenade rooms. My best friend booked an inside guarantee a few weeks ago and with the residency rate the promenade cabins are LESS than her inside guarantee.
