We received a mailer in November and a couple of email reminders in February about the special to combine "old" open passages with 123go. Booking dates stated for this special were Nov 29-Feb 28. We booked in February and were able to take advantage of the offer.

Here is another method that works that was recently posted.

If the method posted above by tunaman2011 is not working for you, give this second method a try. We had success with both methods in the past month. In one case, booking made on X website (not TA), we were able to use tunaman2011 method. In other case, booking made with TA, we had to use this alternate method.

This photo was taken as we passed the Infinity on our way out of FLL. Shows the aft with the new AQ cabins.

 

Thanks for the great picture! Yikes! :eek: What's up with that stairway going past the aft AQ balconies! Didn't expect that.....

If you are booked directly with the cruiseline, just call (or email) the C&A club and ask the nice folks there for your balcony discount---they will apply the discount to your reservation on the spot. If you are booked with a TA, ask your TA to contact RCL to apply the discount.

Also, be sure to check on the RCL website to see if there are additional discount coupons that may apply to your sailing. These can be applied in addition to the balcony discount.

:D Royal Caribbean also gives the following cruise fare discounts (per cabin, not per person) to C&A members for all balconies and suites:

Platinum Balcony discount is,

$50 for 3-5 nights (not days)

$100 for 6-9 nights (not days)

$200 for 10 nights or above (not days)

Diamond and Diamond Plus Balcony discount is,

$100 for 3-5 nights (not days)

$200 for 6-9 nights (not days)

$300 for 10 nights or above (not days)

Not sure if it is applied automatically or if you need to give them a call. This discount is a little sweeter than the X CC one-category upgrade on insides and oceanviews!
