Rare orville99 Posted September 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I know there have been numerous threads regarding the BOGOHO sale, so this is just an update on a specific cruise we booked prior to any of the sales (3/8/15 FOS -D2), and where it has gone since. Initial booking (with an NCC and Diamond discount)): $3549 RCL pops a mini-sale in two weeks later, and we get a "CAT" Discount (still not sure what that was) that drops the price to $3101:) The first BOGOHO sale hits, and the price drops again - to $2957 :):) Friday, I went out to check prices (I'm an addict and I check every Friday), and the price has dropped again to $2729:):):) I almost upgraded to a JS, because Friday's JS price is now less than the price I originally booked the D2 for, but opted to keep the $800+ in price drops instead.

Clarea Posted September 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Interesting info. We have a good number of cruises booked through April 2016. Note that these are all JS category, so that probably is a significant factor in our pricing experience. We got a price drop on BOGOHO1 on two cruises. BOGOHO2 did not result in any price drops for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted September 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the update. We got a category special discount on our upcoming FOS cruise. First time I had ever heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metphan714 Posted September 1, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think I know the answer to this, but were your discounts given automatically? Or did you have to check for a drop and call for an adjustment? I was recently told by a TA that if I book before a WOW sales i wouldn't be eligible for the WOW PERKS.

setsail Posted September 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So you paid 3500/after bal dis for a d2. That sounds really high if it was just a 7 day. Glad you got discounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No automatic discounts, you must call whoever booked your cruise to request a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a WOW sale, you take the perks that give you the best value - which usually is a step backwards from booking without any sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got discounts Combination of that being a spring break week/ the only week we could get away/ and an Eastern Caribbean itinerary. We were originally booked for a May cruise, but my schedule changed, so our options were a bit limited. The only other choice was a 7-night Vision western out of Tampa, for about the same price.
