taylortime05 Posted March 1, 2014 #26 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I couldn't believe the prices. On Dec 14 on Freedom inside cabin with 4 will average to 384 per person and that includes taxes. That for week Eastern. It seems like too good of deal to pass up. I don't even know who would go with me and hubby because the college kids are not out by that time. And I know 4 adults in 1 cabin would be very tight. But for 384 a week I think I could deal with it. I priced the ocean balconies and good do that for 550 per person. I just can't decide. Then we have to get there from Michigan. Has anyone had 4 adults in an interior cabin? How bad was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about 2 couples, though. That sort of creeps me out. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolesrule Posted March 1, 2014 #28 Share Posted March 1, 2014 There's an Oasis sailing on the list that I had been eyeing, but it's not showing $0 for 3rd and 4th pax when I price it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 1, 2014 #29 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Has anyone had 4 adults in an interior cabin? How bad was it? The last time I shared a cabin with 3 other adults, I was in college for Spring Break. Needless to say, it was the last time I did that. Even then, I felt I was getting a bit too old to be stuffed in a closet sized room with that many people. Today, I wouldn't do it even if the cabin was completely free.

taylortime05 Posted March 1, 2014 #30 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. I think if I could make it a girls trip I would go with 4 in cabin. But I don't think I could deal with 2 couples. It just seemed like such a deal and I love deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted March 1, 2014 #31 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I just called my travel agent and we were able to get great savings on the Allure Sept. 21, 2014 sailing. I was booked at $2809 for an inside L category cabin, and got the new price of $2025. That is a savings of $784 for our cabin with two adults and two kids. As long as you are before final payment, you should get the lower prices. I am a very happy cruiser.:D I just assumed it was for new bookings only, I did not even check on my Allure cruise. Did anyone else have any luck with a cruise already booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginadc Posted March 1, 2014 #32 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I just assumed it was for new bookings only, I did not even check on my Allure cruise. Did anyone else have any luck with a cruise already booked? My TA is going to try on Monday and see if she can get it for our Thanksgiving Oasis cruise. We have cabins we really want to keep (connecting BW balconies at the aft with great views), so I don't want to try it myself--going to let her see if she can get away with releasing and rebooking immediately. By my calculations we'd save about $750-800, but we might lose the onboard booking credit, so we'll see if it'd be worthwhile or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yillup Posted March 1, 2014 #33 Share Posted March 1, 2014 :( It appears that Australia isn't getting this promotion. Why oh why do Royal Caribbean think us Aussies aren't worth as much as you Americans? :( Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolesrule Posted March 1, 2014 #34 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, I had been looking at a Freedom sailing and Oasis sailing the last week before school starts back up. Unfortunately even though the Oasis sailing was on the list, the pricing wasn't right. But I ended up booking a JS on Freedom for the 4 of us for $3598 (plus tax). When I had been looking at prices a week ago, the JS was $6096 and a Balcony (whatever the top balcony category is) was $4376. So this was a no-brainer for us at these prices.

SD CRUZER II Posted March 1, 2014 #35 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I was able to modify my May 18th cruise on FOS. Dropped my D1 balcony by 240. I lose the OBC I originally had, but it comes out to a net savings of $84. Not much, but $84 is $84. But there are great opportunities to upgrade right now if you want.

BubbaNJ Posted March 1, 2014 #36 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just put a deposit on the 11/2 Allure. We booked a FB for $4200 for 5 people. The three kids are free! I think it was a good deal considering we paid $5400 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixotic Posted March 1, 2014 #37 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This sale (and the last one) are really bumming me out because Baltimore is excluded. Like a PP said, I was told on the phone by Royal Caribbean rep that Grandeur is having no problem selling. Ugh. Everybody else is getting a $50 pp deposit and I was stuck making a $250 deposit pp. No fair. (We booked Grandeur for Thanksgiving 2014 last night.) I'm tempted to poke around and see what this offer would give us on an alternative trip this year but we really wanted to avoid airfare since we did a "big" trip in Feb this year already. BOO.

Addictedtocruising Posted March 1, 2014 #38 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Don't think about putting anything on hold and getting this deal! I had a cabin on hold with the promo and price but when I called 5 hours later I was told it had sold out!!! So the price went up over $700 :eek: I was on the phone for an hour and the rep and his supervisor tried to apply it but couldn't. So I kindly told them to release the hold as I would not be purchasing that cruise :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyola00 Posted March 2, 2014 #40 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The rates are so good I'm thinking about cancelling our Christmas trip on the Quantum and rebooking the Allure in early Dec. We were going to do the Allure in fall 2015, but this would save us. I can't recall seeing the KSF promo offered like this recently. I'm trying to convince hubby that we can always book the QOS once it is not "new" or the following the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted March 2, 2014 #41 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) The August 9 Explorer sailing had crap availability. They didn't have any more inside-to-oceanview upgrades, or any more oceanview-to-balcony upgrades. The best they could do was $3397 for the four of us for a D1 balcony, which for a 5-night sailing didn't impress me much. Looks like the kids will go to camp that week after all! The problem with the Bermuda 5 night is that it's $178pp just for taxes and fees. That's a decent price for that itinerary.

marci22 Posted March 2, 2014 #42 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Has anyone had 4 adults in an interior cabin? How bad was it? I wouldn't do it with 2 couples. I wouldn't even with my own kids. It's too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted March 2, 2014 #43 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It just seemed like such a deal and I love deals. I know it's fun to imagine such a cheap price for a cruise but you wouldn't want to be squashed in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl226 Posted March 2, 2014 #44 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just booked a last minute short (4 night) cruise on the Enchantment for August. I'm a teacher so my dates are limited. Got a JS for 4 of us for 1650....can't beat it. I've always been a balcony snob but never jumped to a JS. We are bringing our daughter and granddaughter as birthday presents. Two cruises in one year for us...very unusual but can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginadc Posted March 2, 2014 #45 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The problem with the Bermuda 5 night is that it's $178pp just for taxes and fees. That's a decent price for that itinerary. Not compared to some of the other serious deals out there though. I could take my kids on the explorer 9 night in October in a junior suite for under 3k! Now THAT is a deal. But I'd have to be willing to pull the older 2 out of school for a week, which I don't think is wise, especially since we"ll be taking them out for a couple of extra days during thanksgiving week for our Oasis sailing.

2littleprincesses Posted March 2, 2014 #48 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looking at oasis or allure for thanksgiving week but it looks sold out? There are no fares for $0 for the third and fourth-- true? Is it sold out then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl226 Posted March 2, 2014 #49 Share Posted March 2, 2014 ginadc...you are right but since I'm a teacher and my granddaughter is in school we are limited to school breaks so I'm happy with the August prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnad08 Posted March 2, 2014 #50 Share Posted March 2, 2014 What a nightmare this sale is. We went to book Allure for Thanksgiving with our TA and while she's booking the cabins it sells out right before she booked the last cabin in our group. So 4 of us are booked but my friends are not :-(. Then I found one room on the site and put a hold on it. When they tried to book it online it kicked them off and they lost the discount. The same thing happened to my sister, but after being on hold for more than an hour she got through and confirmed it with an agent. However, I don't know if they are going to honor the hold that my friends had. They are on hold now. We'll see.
