GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 3, 2013 Author #26 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes, keep us posted. Please stop using so many dots, !, and ? You know there is a daily limit, right? And, you have used ALL of them for yesterday and today :eek: ### Good Morning I truly had no idea that there was a rule against dots, explanation points and question marks. Writing without them is going to be hard for me. Seems a little boring. Have a good day:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 3, 2013 Author #27 Share Posted November 3, 2013 You cannot combine a C & A certificate discount with a C & A balcony discount based on your tier level - its one or the other You CAN combine a C & a Certificate with a resident rate If your Ta cannot get it to price with the new system on line - have him call reservations - it can be done Thank you - I will ask my TA to call reservations if he has trouble with it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 3, 2013 Author #28 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Hi Everyone - My TA just contacted me - he called Royal and he said they said being able to combine C&A certificate and other discounts depends on what the new rate code says. He said for this ship and sailing date the new rate codes say you can't combine. I guess there isn't much more I can do. Thanks for your responses - I appreciate all of them. Unfortunately I'm a bit disappointed in the outcome but I tried and so did my TA. Have a good day:):) Edited November 3, 2013 by GRANNYOFSIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted November 3, 2013 #29 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Guess its to be expected. They just keep whittling away at discounts and special offers. I remember those good ole days when you could combine everything and get adjusted discounted fares right up until sailing. What was that bird....o yeah, a DoDo;):p Edited November 3, 2013 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that bird....o yeah, a DoDo;):p I also remember being able to combine discounts - I definitely learned a lot the past few days - I'm just glad I got the C&A Certificate of $225 BEFORE I saw the lesser $$ resident discount - I wonder what would have happened if the resident rate was applied THEN I saw the C&A certificate? Hopefully they would have given me a choice as to which discount I wanted to be applied?:confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA and CORALC (on the thread) said the new booking system started the last week or so in October. Have you tried to combine since then? I was really hoping to save around $100 or so. I wonder if there is a sale before final payment if I will be able to secure that rate? I think he is joking I'm tooo sensitive - I take everything seriously - I wonder if he was joking or not about the ....... !!! ?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 3, 2013 Author #36 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Try Princess, everything can be combined.:D That's interesting - cruise lines sure have their own way of making guests want to cruise with them - we never tried Princess - only Royal and Carnival - I guess the bottom line is profit - can't blame them - still disappointed that we can't combine discounts- I just have to accept it:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about it once in a while but chicken out when it comes to booking.

I wonder if there is a sale before final payment if I will be able to secure that rate? Last time I combined a certificate saving discount and a police discount was last December - yes, new system started Oct 28 - however I did not expect this combo would be affected. If there is a price drop before final pay you should be able to get it - the new system doesn't affect that. I actually just booked Explorer for this NYE - December 2013 - I booked after the new system went into affect - there was a resident rate and I was able to apply my Diamond C & A balcony discount of $200 as well.

Merion_Mom Posted November 4, 2013 #45 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Please read the thread. hi Mom - I did - what did I miss - OP booked with a Saving Certificate and wants to now apply a resident rate. Maybe I wasn't clear - you can combine both of those. What you cannot combine is a Saving Certificate and a C & A balcony discount - example - Saving Certificate is $225 off - Diamond Balcony discount if booked more than 6 months in advance is $225 off - you can't use both - you have to pick 1. I was referring to all of the posts in between the OP's post and yours. You wrote what had been written a dozen times already. :) Just sayin'. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you were able to combine the resident rate and C&A Balcony discount - that's fantastic!!! My TA did say that different ships and sail dates have different New System Rules.......some sailings allow combining discounts- some don't - glad you were able to combine! Thanks for all your responses too:) Thanks, I will keep looking for a price drop - final payment is the beginning of December so I have another month of keeping my fingers crossed:) Edited November 4, 2013 by GRANNYOFSIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
