cincicruisers Posted September 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Our Radiance cruise in November has dropped price twice. I was able to upgrade to a GS for less than I had originally paid for the JS. No problems with getting credit for the price drops or upgrading this last time. Keep logging in as daily they seem to be dropping prices. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGirl23 Posted September 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just checked our December cruise and the price is $600 more than what we paid in February. I'll keep checking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz1234 Posted September 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It's funny how that is..some drop, but others go up. I booked our Oct. cruise in March and the price stayed the same right up until it sold out! Never went up or down..the only advantage I had with early booking was getting the adj. cabins we wanted.

Also when do the prices seem to drop closer to the departure date or early on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted September 22, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just went online to the RCC website every day. I called RCCL and they will credit your cruise. This last time I had paid in full already,, so I upgraded instead of getting a credit to my charge card that I used. I dont know why some sailing drop prices and others dont. Our Mariner cruise last year never dropped in price. Must be a lower demand for this sailing due to the holidays?? The prices for this cruisedropped over the last two months, closer to the sailing date, but I dont know if there is rhyme or reason to when they do it.

cincicruisers Posted September 22, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted September 22, 2005 another thing that is weird is that the Suite guarantee is 999pp and the D1 catagory is 1029pp. Hope I am not the only one on the ship and that is why the price is getting so low...

Would this be the case if you bought your cruise at a discount through a travel agent? Would you pro-rate the discount, or does RCC not care? If they have you for the ship and whatever is paid in full they work with the difference in their price??? Thanks for the info... A.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted September 22, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Great! Our May Hawaii cruise has been sold out for months!! Right now I'm just glad we booked when we did. :D I keep checking in hopes it will open up and we can get a lower rate or upgrade...but it doesn't look good! :eek: *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted September 22, 2005 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well, at least I can enjoy the savings vicariously through you guys. :D Our Radiance cruise for NEXT Septmber was locked the last time I looked, and the one after it, too. Can't even see prices. We got a great deal on our cruise next month on the Brilliance, so I go check the prices just to stay in practice, but it would be a miracle if they dropped below what we paid. I'm not complaining; I'm happy we got a good deal from our TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortcove Posted September 22, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2005 About a month ago, after we had made final paymnt, our Jewel cruise had the JS for $200 less pp than we had paid for our balcony. I saw this on Orbitz. I called RCI, and was told it was probably an Orbitz special (that is Orbitz selling a group of cabins they had bought at their own special rate). I persisted, and asked the rep to check and see if it was available. Indeed it was, we upgraded to JS, and got a $400 refund back to our credit card. I expected the upgrade, with any luck, but the refund was a pleasant surprise since we were past final payment. We had booked directly on RCI. I posted here about it, and someone on our sailing was able to get the same. This is our first cruise on RCI, and I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessa1dc Posted September 22, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm on the Radiance for a December 4th departure. I'm going to start checking the rates again. Last time I checked they were more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
