Forgive me if this sounds dumb, but I just wanted to verify if one person in the cabin is diamond and the other is just gold, the balcony discount only applies to the person that is diamond, they wouldn't do it for all people booked in that cabin, right?

$350* for sailings of 15+ nights

We did also, but ours only showed the D+ balcony discount.

I thought it might be helpful to show all eligible tiers.

Any promotion such as senior rate, resident discount, etc.....it just takes one person to qualify for everyone in the same cabin to get the discounted rate.

Hmmmm.....good question. I would think that they are back to the regular deposits which depends on number of nights. Unless they are running a promotion.

NextCruise bookings are still $100pp.

Hi there, what C&A June mailer are we talking about? Is this the one that was sent out to all C&A Members by tier levels?

Hi Patti & Jim,

We received a C&A mailer a few weeks ago... on the bottom left it has "06/10 DiamLLR"

and just above that it reads "Your Diamond Membership benefits just got better!"

Open the flap to 3 pages, one page depicting the OB Bonus + Balcony & Suite Discount: "booked > 6 months; booked < 6 months, followed by number of nights and the bonus' and discounts; + saving certificate.

Plus it has a coupon saying "Special Offer just For You!" Up to $200 OB bonus booked from home for cruises departing o/a May 1, 2011. May be booked from home as if you are on board a ship until June 30, 2010.

Oh, I meant to ask you Patti, how do I make that rotating diamond in my signature, please?

thanks!

Paul

Just right click and drag your cursor over the one on Patti's sig, hit copy and then go to your user CP and paste it in your sig.

just booked a 12 night med cruise last week while onboard Radiance. Deposit was $100 per person, no more money due until final payment.

if you book a Next Cruise deposit is $100 pp,but when you select the cruise ship and date, the remainder of the deposit has to be paid.

Hope this helps.

 

if you book a Next Cruise.

You mean a "Why Not Decide Later":rolleyes:

Please make sure you checking your booking confirmations - we booked on board last week & were only credited for the old balcony discount. Had to call twice last night to get it fixed.

It was listed as HAUW-SAVINGS on my confirmation.

Are you serious?:eek: So they are still allowing the reduced deposits when booking a specific cruise while on board? That's not what C&A told me after they made the changes effective June 1. Why am I not surprised.:mad:

yes,Patti,I'm serious:D 10 of the 17 folks with us booked specific cruises and all were charged $100 pp deposit and given an onboard credit.

Did you really expect to get a straight answer:D:D

Rita

I just got off the phone with the D+ desk. Let me set up the scenario. We are looking to book for Thanksgiving week this year. We will be on the Majesty next week. My question was...If I book now through the D+ desk do I get the new balcony discount and the OBC? Answer yes $225 and $100. Next question if I wait until I am onboard do I get the $225 and $100? Answer, yes. I then asked do I get the reduced deposit? Answer, yes.

Is this the way you folks understand it to be? Sorry but at times I can be a bit confused. Thanks.

I actually called three different times and got three different reps........so I thought I was getting the right information. I should have known better.:rolleyes:

Every time I think that I understand, I get confused again.

The cruise that Puffinater referred to, was for Thanksgiving, this year.

The flyer specifies that the new OBC and discounts are for cruises beginning May 1, 2011.

What am I missing here?
