WOW sale

[PuterMonkey]

On the RC website today, there is a WOW sale advertising "Free upgrade or up to $300*" for the caribbean. However if you click on it the page loads blank, and the limited time offer page is only listing the $300obc sale. Does anyone happen to have a working link to the full flier for this sale, or is it more likely the front page is inaccurate?

 

Appreciate any replies =)

Is this the one?

I think I see what you are referring to. Clicking on the link takes you to a booking process where there are booking options on the right and the middle section is blank...correct?

 

If so, you can narrow your search down through any one of those options to the right and the page will refresh with all of the matching criteria.

 

I did not know about the upgrade portion but I did snatch the $300 OBC for my cruise in June. :D

Thanks, I just called and had this applied for our Christmas cruise.

Can this be applied to existing reservations?

The one you posted is $300 to use on excursions. We booked one two weeks ago that gives us a $300 OBC.

$300 obc..what were the specifics of that ? must be pretty limited to new booking/nights at sea/itinerary etc etc.

I would like to know as well. Is this for a new booking only, or can it be used for an existing reservation that has not been paid in full yet?

[PuterMonkey]

To update: It looks like the page does work now, but the upgrade portion only applies for oceanview->balcony. Looks like that won't work for my reservation. Oh well!

[Tetromibi]

We booked our cruise earlier this week, and we were able to get the $150 OBC (for a balcony) applied to our reservation.

 

T&C states...

 

Onboard Credit ("OBC") Offer applies to cruises booked Jan. 1 - Feb. 28, 2014. OBC offer is valid on 6-night or longer Royal Caribbean International sailings departing Mar. 1 - Dec. 31, 2014, excluding Quantum of the Seas.

It's worth a phone call to see. We booked in November of last year for a cruise in May of this year. I called when the WOW sale started and was able to add the $300 OBC to our reservation. Whether he cancelled and rebooked I do not know, but it took just minutes. Everything else remained the same - cruise price had not changed, room stayed the same. It was a less than 10 min call - worth $300 in my opinion :D

They are running the On Board Credit through February I believe. It is only limited to new bookings and some other stipulations as well. This is from their website for the terms and conditions.

I would love to know if your reservation was cancelled and then re- booked. I also have a cruise booked for May; made the reservation back in August. If I called Royal and cancelled and rebooked same rooms( we have 2 balconies) would we be eligable for the 150.00 onboard credit per room?

There was an earlier WOW sale in December offering OBC (I think it was $100 with that sale). I called that time and I know for certain the rep cancelled and rebooked it. The entire call was rather lengthy - maybe 20 minutes. When the newest WOW sale was advertised, I called and the rep told me he was applying it to my reservation. It was a very short call. If he cancelled and rebooked it, he certainly did it quickly. We were able to keep the same room both times. It doesn't hurt to call and ask.

I see that the offer is $150 for a balcony and $300 for a suite. I read the T&C but didn't see confirmation, would the $300 apply to a JS? Since they are not a full suite I wasn't sure…

[pyrochic]

I will call tomorrow and see what they have to say. We booked a September 2014 cruise when we were onboard in September 2013 so I am not sure how this will affect our diamond on board booking bonus and such. It is still worth a shot to see what they say as we are in a grand suite and would be looking at the larger on board credit. Thanks for the info.

Yes, I got $300 for a Jr Suite.

Hi, I originally booked a balcony under this sale so I will get the $150 OBC. If I were to upgrade now to a GS or JS, would I lose this OBC?

I would double check the terms and conditions of your particular WOW sale. In the past, if the ship and sail date remained the same, the WOW OBC would not be lost.

Thanks, I booked under the one with the code YOURWOW, the terms are posted above and I don't see anything that applies to this. I just want to make sure that I don't lose the $150 OBC, but it would even be better if they would bump us up to the higher OBC we would have gotten had we booked a suite in the first place. (unlikely I know but worth asking LOL! :p )
