Deal Alert Oasis and Allure October and November 2017

There are some Oasis and Allure sailings in October and November 2017 that have inside cabins for $399 and $458. The Oasis also has a senior rate of around $420 yesterday, did not look this morning.

Edit I had seen the OA yesterday and Ken alerted me to them this morning

Are you thinking these price reductions are due to the storm changed itineraries? Like maybe we will see more price reductions?

Don't know one can only hope!! I priced the OA 10/29 yesterday and got that price for 2 people (guarantee cabin) but could not get it for just one person Was thinking Dan could stay home with the dog:halo:

This is an RC promo? Not sure I've ever seen a US booking with free gratuities.

Not sure! Ive never seen it before either but multiple sailings that are offering it. Three people on Allure Oct 22-29 in a junior suite plus insurance with free gratuities comes to $3750!

I noticed the free grats all the way out to Jan 2019 on Allure yesterday.

These rates are pretty impressive and I have never sailed on RC before. If i wasn't already booked on Holland America in late November, this would have definitely been my cruise maybe even a B2B. I have always wanted to sail an Oasis class ship. Oh well, next time. Happy Cruising everyone.

Probably have more to do with cancellations and unsold staterooms than anything else. Got some really good rates on our 10/8 OA sailing - $2,200 in a balcony for 4 pax, taxes & fees included.

I am seeing free gratuities on US bookings but only on suites.

Yes, I saw Junior Suite included with free gratuities on Oct 29 sailing.

Discounts are there for Anthem too for the same time frame. I booked Anthem on Friday for November and it has gone down another $70pp for a balcony guarantee. JS with free gratuities would be around $2,500.

Great price but I think I am going to stay with what I booked. I can't see paying double what I already paid to move up to a JS. Already assigned a D8 balcony in a good location. Figured we would end up with a DO facing the side of a lifeboat, but we lucked out.

They must really be desperate to allow the Shareholder Benefit combination!

Even on JS staterooms?

Yes, at least for Anthem November 11th sailing that we are on.

Their website is so hard to play with to get pricing. I started looking at the JS for OA 10/29 and they were around $1200 pp and now the price is $1404, guess folks are booking them. I can't see any easy way anymore to just see what the least expensive JS date would be. Aggravating!!!

When I add my C&A discount the free gratuities disappeared so it did not combine those.

I don't see a way either. I just looked at OA for 10/29 and chose senior rate and Florida as the state and I am seeing JS for $1,480. I did not log in though since I am pretty sure your balcony discount is higher than ours.

I'd book the cruise and then call C&A to have the free grats applied.

I would assume that is a computer glitch since the fare is a non-refundable deposit. I just went through this with Resolutions because the rep I booked with denied me my balcony discount on a GGG sale rate that is combinable with balcony discount as this sale says it is. Resolutions told me that the computer is not showing this as combinable and the rep should have known to override it as the sailing I booked was on the list of sailings that qualified.

I would call and verify and also quote the attached flyer if you are told it isn't combinable.

I agree - that flyer definitely says it IS combinable with C and A discounts
