no. It's now one extra on top of the extra already being offered for the insiders offer. So that is how they come up with 2. So for these sailing, you'd get 3 points per night (the 1 standard point plus 2 extras for the insider offer). If you're in a suite, you'd get 4 points per night since suites get an extra point also
yes. Luckily for me, I've been eyeing a 7 day cruise for March at it's one of the select cruises. I'm going to book it next week. I'm also looking at a 9 day sailing next December. Unfortunately, it's still not on the list.
I really think what we're seeing is leftover from the 50% off pricing. This new promo just kicked in today. I'd be shocked if come tomorrow, we see these same prices. By then, all the prices will seem to have doubled because they will put them all back to the regular price, rather than the 50% off price. The actual invoicing system has already been updated.
I would suspect that very soon, you'll no longer see this "was"/"now" price on cruises:
At the end of the day, it would still be the same price (two people at 50% off = $1,378 vs. One person at full prince + free 2nd person = $1,378)
I think what's happening is they are switching from the 50% off (it's no longer listed as an offer) to the 2nd guest free, but haven't finished updating the systems to accurately reflect it. This would effectively be the same, thus just being a marketing trick
I'l probably have to go to law school to have any chance of understanding what these terms mean, but I'd bet they will point to this to justify how they are pricing cruises with this 2nd free offer:
no, I would have expected them to double the price of the cruise then offer the 2nd guest free, with no solo supplement. That would be a marketing spin. the way it is now is simply wrong.
yeah. If you move to 3 or 4 guest, the price doesn't change so it's applying the 3rd/4th guest free correctly. But definitely there is something fishy going on with the 2nd guest free promo
Of course, if you're going to a deck that is only served by one of the banks, you're wasting your time pushing both buttons. You may end up getting on an elevator that won't take you where you want to go
