dabucs Posted May 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Answer is probably no, but does anyone know if I can hold a cabin now and get Wow perks tomorrow when I pay for the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Answer is probably no, but does anyone know if I can hold a cabin now and get Wow perks tomorrow when I pay for the cruise? No, a hold is a booking, and therefore it won't be new tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladylikes2cruise Posted May 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2014 No, a hold is a booking, and therefore it won't be new tomorrow. so sorry, but I disagree:o......i did a courtesy booking (24 hr) hold for my cabin on my upcoming Explorer cruise the night before the last "Wow" sale. Was able to confirm, pay deposit and got the OBC, the next day:D, the following week after I booked, a resident rate came available (price drop;)) and called, got the drop and still have my OBC. So everyone's miles may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reney313 Posted May 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Is the BOGOHO ending tomorrow? And a new WOW sale coming? I was hoping to place a hold tonight for the BOGOHO tonight and then call tomorrow to use a NCC. I'm not sure if the WOW sale would benefit us as typically the C&A Balcony benefit is better, but then again, I'm not sure of the terms of the new WOW sale. If I do put a hold today with the BOGOHO, I won't lose that price even if I wait to transfer a NCC tomorrow, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone's miles may vary. I would keep watching. They may drop the Wow obc from your booking sometime in the future. This happened to me. Typically, you may NOT put a cabin on hold and then book the wow sale the next day. Also: "After the Offer Period, the Offer will be removed from the booking if the guest cancels and reinstates the booking, applies a fare change, or changes the ship or sail date of the booking; certain other changes to the booking may also result in removal of the Offer...

According to the Footnote on the sale information...cruise must be booked May 1-31, 2014 (the Offer Period) so I'm not sure if the price will be honored. Also, the WOW sale is not combinable with Next Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WOW sale started today for us in Aus and no your C&A benefit is not combinable with the WOW sale , at least not here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronandannette Posted June 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I've just been to the RCCL website and apparently the BOGOHO deal is now extended into mid-July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past they have said, 'if booking is made or cancelled and rebooked within 4 days prior to sale, Wow will be void' (something like that). But I would be afraid to advise someone about prebooking the day before in case they would not consider it 'new'. More recent feedback should confirm the ability to prebook wow.

deliver42 Posted June 1, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just got off the RCI website, and the WOW sale ends June 4th. By the way, I booked on the WOW sale, and still got my C&A discount. Have fun all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinfourfun Posted June 1, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 1, 2014 RCCL is racking up a lot of money in deposits by extending this offer again. I guess it's needed for all the new builds. It is a great offer, however prices keep increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted June 1, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just got off the RCI website, and the WOW sale ends June 4th. By the way, I booked on the WOW sale, and still got my C&A discount. Have fun all. Just for kicks and giggles...called my TA to investigate the WOW deal. We have a great price from early May...plus the Balcony discount. To get the Onboard credit added...they'd have to cancel and rebook...which the TA would gladly do. However, the price is higher than our existing reservation, and the net-net is that we'd gain nothing in terms of the Onboard credit - essentially we'd be paying for it with a higher cabin rate. While it never hurts to check - we already got the best price to date on our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They specifically exclude this combination: Offer is not combinable with any other offer or promotion, including, but not limited to, Interline, Travel Agent, Travel Agent Friends and Family, weekly Sales Events, Net Rates, Crown & Anchor Discount programs or rates, Shareholder Benefits or Next Cruise offers, promotions, or benefits.

marci22 Posted June 1, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just tried booking a cruise and when I was logged in with C&A number it added my balcony discount and removed the wow obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCC retired Posted June 1, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 1, 2014 WOW is not so wow if you are eligible for a C&A Balcony discount . Not combinable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCruiser54 Posted June 1, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Well, since I only have a Panoramic Cabin booked for our 4/28/15 cruise I was able to take advantage of the new WOW sale. My new cabin rate is $90.00 more total however the OBC is $ 200.00 so I came out ahead $ 110.00 Not bad for one phone call. But if you are in a balcony or up with discount that would not apply.

Did you have to cancel and rebook? If so, how did they do your deposit? Did you have to pay again and whatever you paid before is credited back to your card? I'd appreciate any info... We booked just a few days ago so our price is the same so would definitely like to get the $200 obc ($100 for 2 rooms we have booked) Thanks!

SMN73 Posted June 1, 2014 #22 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Never mind, I answered my own question. :) Called C&A. Only 4 minutes on hold. 1st room went up $75 but we added the $100 obc so we netted $25. 2nd room price stayed the same so he added the $100obc. Did not have to rebook. $125 in 10 minutes is not a bad use of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
