Life is Good Cruising Posted September 9, 2015 #126 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I am so confused while this waiting for the new program for CR players to start. On a June, '15 cruise I was told I had a rebate of $850. BUT I had to use it before the end of 2015. Now I see others are getting rebates applied to January, 2016 cruises. Has there been a change as to just how long rebates from this year can be used in 2015 or up until sometime in 2016? Two weeks ago, I was told they didn't even know if there would be any rebates when the new program starts. So confusing...to say the least....Anyone know - OR getting different answers? Thanks, Swiss We're all waiting for the new program and we should hear something in November, per CR. They have extended their Rebate offer and now they have to be used by March 15 2016. I was told the same thing by CR, they are doing away with rebates, I'm hoping for casino play instead. Heard there will be tier levels. Patiently waiting for some updates.

OTownNick Posted September 9, 2015 #127 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I still have t received any invitation to the Beach Bash. Last they told me I didn't qualify. Weird. I did last year and have gotten a free cruise and a few 50% off plus hundreds in rebates. So to tell me I don't qualify for a $75 value event is strange lol. I have a $425 rebate from cruise 2 weeks ago and they won't let me apply it to my next cruise next month cause I already used one rebate as discount on that cruise. Cruising once per month is causing an issue the way they apply your earned rebates. I told them why should it matter WHICH cruise they apply it to since I EARNED it anyway....

OTownNick Posted September 9, 2015 #128 Share Posted September 9, 2015 One of things that annoys me at the tables- a couple of people walk up and request say $40 in chips. Dealer stops play to ask for and swipe their Sea Pass cards lol. Come on. I don't think these people are worth tracking for Club Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted September 9, 2015 Author #129 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think that's a new thing that they're doing to build up a list of future, prospective members in their new (tiered) program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found those walk-ups don't last long at the tables, agree with you as far as tracking and agree with Marc on them being prospective members in their new (tiered) program.

Daghis Posted September 10, 2015 Author #133 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mention offer code RCIBBQ1 when booking. That's interesting that the code is different from what I had seen on my USPS mailing (RCIBBQ4). I wonder whether the slightly different offer code indicates a difference in the offer (they appear to be the same) or perhaps it's the method of contact that was used for that offer (1 = email, 4 = USPS).

maryjaden Posted September 10, 2015 #134 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I received the same offer. By email on 8/25 and 9/3 and by mail on 9/7. All of mine had the same code RCIBBQ4. It would be interesting to see if you received a different rate, based on the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTownNick Posted September 10, 2015 #135 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I need to step up my game!! Lol Despite my "dilemma" of 1/cruise per month next few months, CR wI'll continue to hop scotch and/or switch my rebates earned on these trips. NYE cruise- if I earn enough I MAY have to use it on a new cruise b4 the deadline lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Bee Posted September 10, 2015 #138 Share Posted September 10, 2015 and asked about new program and new VIP cruises schedule for next year....They said that both will be available from end of November until mid December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted September 10, 2015 Author #139 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Nope...Different code indicates different promo level / offer as I know. In that case, RCIBBQ4 isn't that great of an offer. I just called to check and the total for two people (including fare, taxes, and gratuities) was just over $2,000 for an oceanview balcony for the 7-night sailing on Freedom of the Seas.

Yes, Club Royale did cancel their Beach Bash for Anthem's 11/30 sailing and the Beach Bash is now on the following sailings.

Happy Bee Posted September 13, 2015 #144 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Do you know if they cancelled the beach bash for the 11/30 Anthem sailing? There is no more beach bash BUT they listed it under another 3 : BBQ BEACH BASH COZUMEL 12/8 Independence of the Seas® 5-Night Western Caribbean From Ft. Lauderdale, FL December 5, 2015 BBQ BEACH BASH COZUMEL 12/11 Liberty of the Seas® 7-Night Western Caribbean From Galveston, TX December 6, 2015 BBQ BEACH BASH COZUMEL 12/11 Freedom of the Seas® 7-Night Western Caribbean From Ft. Lauderdale, FL December 6, 2015 BUT in our sailing will be special HOLIDAY PARTY by Invitation only. If you booked this cruise under casino offer then you will get it in your room. There is no info right now when and where it will be and details. I spoke about 1 week ago with Anthem casino host.

tinatark Posted September 20, 2015 #145 Share Posted September 20, 2015 just off the Oasis. Husband qualified for a free cruise - the host gave him a letter with date options - many dates. He plays slots. The host said 4500 points gets you her best available offer - a balcony on select dates. I played slots + BJ - several hours one night at $25 table - but still not enough for a free cruise! They were having EVERYONE scan their cards at the tables. Interestingly... I found a previous host from Oasis - from the Liberty of the seas - she is now a dealer on the Oasis - apparently RCCL is not very good to their hosts - they're overworked - I'd heard about the free cruises on here - asked the host about mine (LOL) on the final night of the sailing. She told me I didn't have enough points yet (BJ is calculated differently) but to have husband come see her when he was done for the night. Not sure she would have offered it otherwise - maybe it would have come from corporate. Many notices posted around the casino about W2G's for winnings. OT - A fellow bj player hit the side bet for the ladies ... she had a $5 wager, got Q hearts pair, AND the dealer had BJ. Nice win of $5k!! I, on the other hand, don't bet that consistently... had a pair of Q of hearts, but didn't make the side bet! The one that got away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somerandomidiot Posted September 30, 2015 #147 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone get this one? The only benefit seems to be a free massage, you would be getting your rebate regardless. I also like how they say that if I earn 5000 points I can get drinks for free. The drinks are normally free anyway and I don't play slots... Enjoy Your Benefits Plus a Bonus.
