Get it while it lasts. Grand suite 1299 per person with a 300 obc.

The 30% sale will allow for c and a discounts.. However, on the last 30 off sale the balcony discounts were reduced by 30% as well.

I've attempted to use a FCC for an upcoming reservation, but they are requesting an authorization code.

 

In the email I have 3 numbers:

- Original Reservation Number

- An SR Number (not sure what this is, but they say it is not an authorization code)

- Two Certificate Numbers (1 each for my wife and I)

 

Has anyone else run into this? They are stating they will not honor the amounts without the authorization number. But there is nothing referencing this in the email I received from RCI!

 

Thanks everyone, Chris

What is the email address that the email originated from?

Many thanks irishgal432! Thanks for posting the price drop. We had 5 balcony cabins in a row booked on the Freedom for a Thanksgiving family cruise. I called this morning and got the price reduced. You saved us mucho dollars, YAY. :)

I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the price drop for your family.

I can't seem to post the pretty picture only the text. I received this back on December 11th and put in the request when the promotion was announced.

The email came from Royal Caribbean International <RoyalCaribbean@reply.RoyalCaribbeanMarketing.com>

Congratulations! Your booking has been validated. We look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Suite Class onboard Oasis or Allure of the Seas® this summer. Your account will be updated to reflect your double points upon completion of sailing.

Thank you! I can't wait to try them! The times I was on Oasis, Coastal Kitchen was so good even though they had the same menu, you could try something different each day and still be happy, and I am a picky eater.

I am trying to figure out my dining for May. There was a rumor awhile back about the menus changing for Coastal Kitchen. Has anyone been on oasis or allure that had more than the 2 menus? Harvest and vineyard.

Are you allowed out of your rooms?

Even if there is a no show they can't re sell the cabin in case the person catches up at another port.

Yes 285 per person. It also didn't include any of my diamond discounts.

A long time ago before any of the sales. This doesn't have any obc. I think it was during the 30 percent off sale 9/4/15.

Yes

Oasis

May 2010 GS for 200.00 a night

I just watch the prices and am able can travel anytime of the year, and when I see a good deal i do not hesitate to book.

FYI.....facebook links are usually not allowed on Cruise critic.

I wasn't sure before I posted, so I checked before I posted and this is what I found.

It seems to be allowed as long as it isn't in reference to a Roll Call and a direct link to the url.

If I am wrong and missed something else, please let me know.

Thx

The net differential between what you have stated and what we got using our C&A Discount was $25 less and I don't have to spend more on the overall cruise cost to wait for the $200 in money to be spent on board the ship.

 

Using the comparison as follows by doing a mock booking on an E2 balcony cabin:

 

Cruise $1925.98 - 482 (BOGOHO) - 50 (Flash Discount) = $1393.98 With this pricing you get a $200 OBC to use on board -- but the COST of the cruise is higher.

 

Alternative using C&A Discount at Diamond Level:

Cruise $1925.98 - 482 (BOGOHO) - 225 (C&A discount) = $1218.98.

 

I would rather have my out of pocket for the cruise itself to be less.....I have other ways to 'cash in points' to use as OBC on the cruise.

Those are the numbers I got as well as a Diamond Member. I opted for the OBC since it comes out $25 cheaper. I have 2 rooms and for 5 people and that OBC and the TA OBC will cover the tips.

Also, c/a discounts are not combinable with the 50.00 "flash" sale they are having.

I think it is taking your c and a discount off. The system doesn't allow ca discounts and obc. If you sign out of c and a you will see the obc.

We are right next to you! Lol

I would take the JS and interior connecting. What extra noise are you concerned about? I would not put toddlers in a balcony room by themselves. There are no toddler door locks on the slider. You will also have the extra space of the vestibule area.

Understandable on their part, but that is their mistake by offering it to you. They should allow you to keep it or upgrade you to another suite.

Do you have a email confirmation? If so, I would ask to speak to someone in resolutions. I had a cruise pulled out because of a pricing glitch in their computer system. If this was human error and not a computer error, I would hold firm and speak to someone higher up the food chain.

A separate time, we had 2 rooms booked on the Enchantment and it was after final payment and the RFS was available under the Kids Sail Free promotion. I had two reservation numbers for my 2 rooms. The person on the phone told me that since I had 2 reservation numbers he could move me into the RFS and be able to use the Kids Sail Free promotion without having to pay cancellation fees for an additional charge of a 2xx.xx I told him yes that is fine. He couldn't make the change and he had to speak to his supervisor. He came back and told me that it is not something they could do after all, but since he had already deleted my booking info, they were going to honor it.

Good Luck

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't got the email yet. We booked the Royal Suite for May 28th and liked the itinerary with late departure in Key West as we have never been there and the last sea day.

Just another reason to go again.:D

But are guests in a gs and above being escorted off like I have experienced on other ships.

Are suite guests being walked off and taken directly to baggage/customs?
