Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)

[Sunshine3601]

The itinerary list for the most recent offer has a couple sailings for Jan. 2022 that are tempting, but I think we will wait and see before we book anymore.     Although one of the 7 night sailings out of Tampa is tempting as I was supposed to be on a b2b a couple weeks ago out of Tampa.    

We booked our prime annual freebies for the Grandeur Feb 6th and Feb 13th 2022 sailings out of Barbados so maybe I will add a sailing out of Miami as pre-cruise then I can fly from Miami to Barbados to hop on the Grandeur.

 

Yes, Just get me on a ship - just not a 3 or 4 night cruise that I have to fly to get on - not worth it for us.

here is the itinerary for the most recent offer

Sunshine... my offer was much the same. I feel the same as you in regards those short sailings. If I have to pay airfare I want more than 3-4 days. Same $450 trade-in but NO FREEPLAY.

Has anyone received their win/loss statement ? I sent paper work Monday. Nothing back yet. Boy that is a pain getting that request notarized.

If thinking of an Alaska cruise this year. Canada has snuffed that out. No cruises with over 100 passengers till February 28, 2022.

I saw that. This is getting hard to believe! Cancelled for one year?

That ban also wipes out the fall sailings to Canada from Boston as well as the Jewel TA in late August.

Just an update: My wife and I got our emailed win/loss statements Friday afternoon.

[texasreb]

Wow another offer. Sail from Barbados or San Juan. Dec 1 , 2021  - April 30, 2022. 21EMC206 INSIDE only, or $500 off any sailing. Same offer for my wife.

[RFerrington]

Ugh. Still nothing

I received this new offer, but mine is for $400 off any sailing during that time. No inside only offer. One of my earlier offers was for an inside from Barbados, but I didn't book it. 

[RFerrington]

I totally ignore the $$ off offers (not that I have gotten ANY offer in months !).  I will book the inside offers that are 7 days and then upgrade them.

[Sunshine3601]

I saw the offers today.  Ours is for free balcony on certain dates and Ov for others.

I just booked about 2 weeks ago a b2b on grandeur for feb 6th and feb 13th using our annual prime freebies.

As the new offer is free ov for feb 6th I'm going to call and see if I can switch offers and rebook with new offer then we will get one of our annual freebies back for another cruise.

As I upgraded I wonder if they will just swamp out the funds I paid or will they give me a fcc.

Sunshine - Will you please come back and let me know how it goes?  I am in the same situation and was thinking of doing the same thing.

I just called and yes technically they could do the rebook with new offer code and swap funds paid and give back our free annual but the pricing right now is much higher then when I booked.  The upgrade from interior to JS cost us $717 when I booked the other week.  

The cost today to book with offer for free OV to JS would be over $1500 so I'll keep what I booked.  I'm excited for this itinerary.

Now I'm thinking maybe we will use this offer code for free balcony on explorer on jan 30th that stops in Barbados on day 6 and see if they will let us get off ship in barbados and we can get a hotel for 2 nights till we board our feb 6th sailing on grandeur.  I did this once before in italy.  Just not sure if future rules will allow.

[EllaDuChien]

@Sunshine3601 Thank you so much, and exactly what I was figuring when I saw the current prices for the 1/30 Grandeur that I have booked already.  Its $1400 more and there are no more aft extended balcony JS available so I would hate to take the chance that in that one minute in between cancelling me and rebooking me someone would snatch it away!

I had that some fear too.   

 

I am hoping my plan of booking the Explorer for 1/30 out of San Juan and getting off at Barbados on day 6 of the cruise will be okay.  then we can hop on Grandeur on Feb 6 for our b2b.     In the past I had to email for permission.   I have to find the "special" email address I used before.    Rep on the phone didn't know if it would be allowed as there may still be need to test for covid, etc etc etc

I just called Club Royale to book the 9-4-22 14 night Norway/Iceland/Greenland on Voyager where I was able to get a standard 5% casino discount.  YAY !  ....but the real news is that while I was on the line with the Agent (Mary ...the rare, really GOOD agent) I asked why we weren't getting any "monthlies" and other casino offers.  She looked and said that I was showing 6 different "profiles" and Dan was showing 4.  She said that is absolutely why we have not been getting any offers.  Having more than 1 profile interrupts the automatic offers.  I have no idea why...but she said it does.  She fixed both of our profiles (deleted all of the bogus ones) and said that we should get offers immediately and then begin getting the monthlies.  She said that if we have not gotten our new monthly offer by the 4th of March, to send her an email (she actually gave me her email address !!!) and she would check on it again.

 

It's so amazing how different it is when you get a good, helpful Agent.  I guess we would have just not gotten any more offers....ever....if she hadn't fixed this for us.

I'm sure this has been touched on so apologies in advance.

 

If and when my July cruise is cancelled, what happens to my annual prime certificate? I earned enough points last February before all of... this.

My March sailing I had booked with my annual prime freebie was cancelled so i got my annual prime back and used it to book a sailing for feb 2022.  

If your cruise is cancelled you will get to use for a sailing up thru march 31 2022.

Any idea how you ended up with so many profiles?  

That sailing for norway/iceland/greenland looks amazing.  That us one we definitely want to do.

Nope. No idea at all.  We are very excited about the North Atlantic cruise on Voyager.  It’s a bucket list cruise for us.

I don't intend to speak for @RFerrington, but in my case, what killed my offers from being sent was that my email address had gotten put onto friends' and families' Crown & Anchor accounts. One time, my email address had gotten onto the profile of a complete stranger who lives in Australia, pretty far away from Pittsburgh, PA.

 

Twice I was able to work with someone on the phone with Royal Caribbean (once, Club Royale; the other time, Crown & Anchor) and ensuring that my email address was only on my own C&A profile fixed it.

We've been having the same problem. My husband has gotten no emails from Royal or its casino at all. Last summer, found out that we could no longer share the email(I dont play in casino) if he wants to get his casino offers emailed.(Like I'm really going to steal his offers!) So I now have my own email address & get all the royal cruise (noncasino) offers. He still isnt getting any email from them, only gets his casino offers from clubroyaleoffers.com or once in a while from his host. Called casino in Dec, & just called C&A last week, they said his email is fine, but they will reset it, & call back in 2 weeks if still nothing. 

[JessyCruises]

Does anyone have the offer list for 21OND106?  It is not posted on the offer page.

 

[RFerrington]

I don't.  I just checked mine.  Still just a couple of $$ off offers which are useless.
