dixielady Posted August 20, 2014 #26 Share Posted August 20, 2014 First off, make sure that you sign up for the Crown & Anchor Society Loyalty Program sometime during your first cruise. When you book a cruise while on board the OBC will be determined by the number of nights as I have referenced in my previous post on the first page. When booking on board you will get a reduced deposit of $100pp unless you decide to book a Grand Suite or higher and then you would have to pay a full deposit which would be doubled. Here is a link to the Crown & Anchor Member's Benefits http://www.royalcaribbean.com/cas/benefitsLoggedout.do And here is the link to balcony discounts when you reach Platinum Level Current C&A Balcony Discounts With New OBC Amounts Effective 3/15/2014 Here is also a Current Listing of Exclusive Onboard Offers by C&A Level Hope this helps. Thanks will read about the Crown and Anchor....thanks for your reply With Royal, you get on board credit and reduced deposit. No discount on the cruise. All staterooms JS and under can be booked for $100 deposit per person. Other staterooms require full deposit. Thanks for your reply....learning all the in's and out's on a different cruise line...

MichaelCMTX Posted August 20, 2014 #27 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The way I see it, at someplace if like Best Buy, if you buy a TV, and that TV goes on sale in 2 weeks, they'll honor the price for you. But if in 2 weeks you get a free Blu-Ray player with the TV, well... you should have waited. Tough. You can either buy and risk it, or sit at home with your old TV forever.

cruisenfever Posted August 20, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sounds like some whine and cheese to LDL. Time to move on. Buy some RCI stock if you haven't done so already and get your OBC. Sell it when you get home. Buying stock for the OBC is useless because you can not combine it with any C&A benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincurt Posted August 20, 2014 #29 Share Posted August 20, 2014 And some large online TA's yank the pre-paid gratuities when you ask to apply your balcony discount. Such as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 21, 2014 #30 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Buying stock for the OBC is useless because you can not combine it with any C&A benefit. I believe it works for the non balcony cabins. Is there a C&A benefit for those Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted August 21, 2014 #31 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I believe it works for the non balcony cabins. Is there a C&A benefit for those Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Yes, they used to be known as C&A Savings Certificates that were issued quarterly and available for all C&A Members.

Is there a C&A benefit for those Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app You can't combine the stockholder's OBC with ANYTHING. Not a WOW sale, not book onboard OBC, not a Next Cruise Certificate, not a balcony discount. NOTHING that comes from RC. ("rates", yes, like military, senior, residency. But not OBC from anything else.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cariad1000 Posted September 9, 2014 #33 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've just contacted my US travel agent and asked that my Platinum C & A balcony discount be applied to the GS I have booked for March 2016. She has replied stating that you cannot use the balcony discount on GS until you are Diamond level. I can't see anything in the terms and conditions relating to this and wonder if any of you knowledgeable people on this forum can give me any advice on this please?

My advice is, get a new TA, Platinum is the minimum level to get a balcony discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
