texasreb Posted November 5, 2018 #2451 Share Posted November 5, 2018 On 10/30/2018 at 8:29 PM, RFerrington said: To add confusion to uncertainty, Club Royale also considers losses in the casino when awarding certificates. So if the awards don’t seem to correspond directly with points, it’s probably due to losses. On our recent LIB cruise, going strictly by points, we would not have received any complimentary cruises but we both received complimentary balcony certificates. The hostess explained that the certificates were both upgraded due to our wagering losses. While not thrilled with losing money, we got our upcoming Thanksgiving Cruise on NAV (maybe...if she doesn’t sink before then) out of it. Now this might be interesting. I have been on Liberty of the Seas twice this year. I am also booked on Navigator of the Seas Nov 23 sailing. I can't say if Royale has a clue as to what they (or computer program) do.

I wonder if it's going to cost more to upgrade your cabin. I was able to upgrade from an inside to a balcony for usually less than $300. You usually end up losing a lot more than that going from 2400 points to 4800 points, unless you are very lucky. I already have 2 of them booked in balcony cabins. With my 150% solo rate, OBC, from next cruise and my $400 and $500 certificates it's not even worth trying for a free inside. Example: I booked the 11/16/19 a few weeks ago on the ship for a total of $933 including port charges and taxes. I received $200 OBC and was able to apply a $500 certificate from a cruise early in October. Final cost making my final cost $233. I think from now on I'm stopping when I get to 1600 or 2000 points depending on how I'm doing. Gayle, I think your strategy is sound. This is the same conclusion we have come to after nearly a year of experimenting with this new system. BY FAR the best deals are the "free" cruises on any of the lists for which you qualify, even if you have to start at an inside room. The upgrading to whatever level you want is much more reasonable than expending the time and resources to try and qualify for a higher certificate. We have upgraded "free" certificates on 2 different cruises over the past few months and upgraded them to Owner's Suites for very reasonable upgrade fees. I also agree that the "dollars off" certificates are pretty much useless. Since they will no longer offer you a casino rate and allow you to compound the dollars off certificates with the casino rate, you will end up paying much more by paying full price for a cruise and then applying some meager dollars off certificate. I guess the exception would be if there is a particular cruise that you just HAVE to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry the Oveanview and JS certificates aren’t clear as a copy was given to me by another poster. The oceanview listing is the same new certificate listing that I just received last Thursday evening on the Serenade. I also agree that it may not pay to get the extra points for a balcony when you can often upgrade for less than the play might have cost you.

OHCruisinDad Posted November 22, 2018 #2459 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I received a snail mail offer for two Valentine's Day sailings, both offering complimentary balcony cabins. Either a 5 night Brilliance departing February 9th or a 5 night Jewel departing February 10th. Unfortunately we are on the Serenade and return on the 11th. On my CR offers page it also says that promotion has an alternate value of $1,000 so I will call and see if I can use it against other future bookings.

Rare CTSandy Posted November 25, 2018 #2467 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm booked on Anthem Jan. 2019, balcony, on a certificate I received on my September cruise to Bermuda. Not that crazy about big ships, but I like the flexibility of having a drive of less than 3 hours to port in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please report back and tell me where the seats were. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
