UNPRECEDENTED Oasis offer!

[01Sweetpea]

While We are a family of 5 that needs 3 cabins, usually in the configuration of a balcony and 2 PRs. Yes, it IS very expensive to book this way, but DH & I enjoy our balcony privacy on vacation and with 3 teens that are step-siblings of the opposite sex, it's just the way it has to be.

 

I disagree that you NEED 3 cabins. You may choose to book 3 cabin, but you only NEED 2. You could do a Guy's cabin & a Girl's cabin be just fine.

 

What fun is being on vacation if DH is sleeping with my boys and I'm rooming with my step-daughter? Nope...we NEED 3 cabins.

Sounds to me they won't be giving much money away- I wonder how many families buy more than one balcony room, I am guessing they buy a balcony and an inside for the kids most often.

The ONLY place that I see Royal really giving families/people a break is in military/fire/police....they have some of those rates slashed as much as 50% off:eek:...I know that we should all support our troops and such but when they are particularly targeting one group and discounting up to 50% from everyone else:confused: I guess at least we can all feel very safe on Oasis/Allure:D

 

No problem there, should the ship be attacked by pirates - they are in for a surprise. One thousand Steven Seagals on board is not a bad thing...:D

...there is a very high demand for triple and quad cabins leaving them in very short supply while many doubles stay available.....believe it or not they sound as if they were caught by surprise on this.

 

LOL!

 

RCCL Pre-December 2009: "Let's build these huge mega ships. We will add Dreamworks characters to attract even more families. Rather than increasing the number of triples and quads, we will make the staterooms even smaller so more families will WANT to book multiple cabins. When we run out of staterooms that can hold families, they will HAVE to book multiple cabins. We can charge mega bucks for sailing on these mega ships. And those Central Park and Boardwalk balconies will sell like hotcakes!"

 

RCCL Now: "What happened??!!"

 

SURPRISE!!!

LOLOL.....I think the surprised group may be having a conference right now to figure out the next promo attempt....but have no fear...Vicki Freed is at the helm:rolleyes:

 

Let me tell ya....they got their hands full....besides problems selling Oasis/Allure, Europe isn't quite panning out like they thought and if this GOV shutdown occurs:eek:....get ready for PRICE WAR.....all good news for the cruise consumer:D:
