Johnamac123 Posted January 20, 2015 #26 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why don't we create a thread for best (cheapest) possible rates found. Give the Sailing Date, Ship, # Days, Category Selection (interior, ocreanview or balcony) and price found. I missed out on booking a great balcony cabin on a 5 night January 2015 sailing for $279 plus tax on Thanksgiving week for a few reasons and a thread like this would be helpful I think. OP, why don't you clarify the title to include some of those discounting parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMark Posted January 20, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think I did pretty good. No lucky crazy errors by RC but just timed things right. $1300 final price for my fiance and I, Freedom OTS 7 day eastern, with all gratuities and insurance included, in the Ben and Jerry's "Sweet". I used the gold c/a discount and applied a sale to it after I booked that knocked a few hundred dollars off (BOGOHO). I also booked within a couple days of the cruise being listed.

Cruisegoer Posted January 20, 2015 Author #28 Share Posted January 20, 2015 OP, why don't you clarify the title to include some of those discounting parameters. Not sure how editing an original Title or Subject works but I don't see an edit button, thought you only had 30 minutes to edit once posted.

Cruisegoer Posted January 20, 2015 Author #29 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Surely you are kidding, but I don't see any emoticon to indicate that. :confused: RCI's IT ability is laughable. Thom get off my back. You tried ripping me apart the last time I had an opinion that didn't agree with yours, I don't need you following me being my own personal paparazi providing constant critiques.

I just had a hard time thinking that anyone could believe that RCI's (or indeed any company's) pricing system could not have a hiccup, but obviously I am wrong in thinking that. Mea culpa.

grandgeezer Posted January 20, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I just booked the 12 day transatlantic, in October, on the Allure. Rate was $933 p.p. (all taxes and fees included), for a D6 oceanview balcony, just about midship. I also got $325 in obc. This is through an online travel agent who has a group booking. Through RCL, the price for the same room would be $1298 p.p. with no obc. I would like to make a B2B out of it with the first cruise in the Med added, but it's way too pricey as of now. Choiceair is about $525 p.p. to Barcelona now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siestaclaud Posted January 20, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing deals - with the info included (cost, cabin category, and special deals /discounts) Its not that difficult to post all of that info, and if people on here are annoyed by those postings, they don't have to read them I guess! Great idea from the OP - isn't there an ongoing thread about "deals" on here somewhere already??:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see posts like the above. I think I would find them very helpful. It simply lists a ship, sail date, cabin prices and the time limits. It does not list information others can't use such as loyalty onboard credit, or travel agent (that you can't mention a name) perks Thanks M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1rateoftheseas Posted January 21, 2015 #40 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not to thread-jack, but we are first time cruisers. At the end of the cruise are there deals offered to book your next cruise, and are these really "deals?" I couldn't find a topic on this yet.

Bob, on Freedom last month they had a draw to win a $300 OBC if you booked a cruise on board in the first couple of days. Have you seen that on any other ships?

Ken at the beach Posted January 21, 2015 #45 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) No, haven't seen that one. So you entered the drawing by booking a cruise? Each cruise that you booked gave you 1 entry. I booked 4 and got a call the second last day that I had won. Even better was that it was refundable OBC. Had been hoping that this promo was on more ships. Edited January 21, 2015 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not good on my 4 day Enchantment cruise. An inside cabin is now at over $700pp. :eek: Glad we booked early. Our JS was a lot less than that.
