[beesquared]

Just noticed that Royal Caribbean are offering onboard credits. Those of us that are about to book this it's a bit of a bonus.

 

 

ONBOARD CREDIT/ REDUCED DEPOSIT

5 Nights or less US$50 per stateroom 50% reduced deposit

6-9 Nights US$100 per stateroom 50% reduced deposit

10+ Nights US$200 per stateroom 50% reduced deposit

Had the email telling me about the "WOW" sale - starts tomorrow. Under the T & C it specifically states that if you cancel and rebook (even with a different TA) you are not eligible for the offer. Strictly new bookings only.

Hi all

 

So my question is this:

 

I have purchased a Next Cruise Certificate on board which allows me an on-board credit of up to $200.

 

Can I top this up with the WOW sale benefit of another $200 OBC?

 

I guess they won't allow me the $100 deposit each that the NCC allows me though if I book my next cruise during the WOW sale.

 

Do they usually have more than ONE WOW sale per year, does anyone know?

G'day Gae.

 

From our experiences, since you already have a booking, you cannot "add" this to the booking.

 

WOW sales usually occur twice a year, around Mar/Apr and Sep/Oct.

 

Benefits are really not much different than getting a future cruise deal whilst on board, but of course, you can't get the decide later or "friend" booking deal from a WOW sale. (And whilst on board you can book both RCCL and Celebrity, although they have different benefits)

The Australian website has a good FAQ section which may answer your question.

 

I read it yesterday but as we do not have a Next Cruise Certificate I did not take a lot of notice of that bit.

Hi there Sue & Phil - yes very wet here in Coffs Harbour too! Hoping for finer weather in the South Pacific!

That's standard for WoW sales, and most of their sales in fact.

 

If you want a cruise, best to plan it in line with some promotion like this... but keep in mind the significant risk of price rises, or cabins selling out.

You can use your $100 deposit if you use the FCC during the WoW sale, just you can't combine benefits (which is a standard restriction for most RCL promotions).
