phabric Posted November 30, 2015 #26 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The booking I now have for Dec 2016, I have $250 per passenger OBC. From RC website, the same cruise shows $400 OBC. Is this $400 per passenger or per cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted November 30, 2015 #28 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Per cabin Did you see the 12-page GGG flyer yet? Lots of EN and MJ deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted November 30, 2015 #29 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It seems like only for sailings prior to October 2016. When I called to reprice my cruise today we did get it for May 2016 sailing. If you are sailing before October, I would call and make reservation on phone and see what happens. I am on the phone with RCI now booking a 3 day cruise for March 2016. First they told me that only 7 day cruises are eligible. I asked her to double check, and she came back and told me that it is only for cruises from May 2016 through October 2016. Does that sound right, or should I call back? I don't see any fine print, or any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted November 30, 2015 #30 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I still think it is unfair for RC to not allow the C&A balcony discount with the new promotions. Seems like they are not taking into account their loyal customers. This new promotion still came out 200 ahead of the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted November 30, 2015 #32 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It is for ALL sailings on or after 12/10/15 excluding China sailings.This is for the free VOOM wifi, too? Or just the OBC? Do you have a link to the page on the RCI website where it says this, so I can reference it when I call back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the promo on RCI's home page and at the very bottom in very small print it explains the VOOM and what ships it's available on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForMyBoys2015 Posted December 1, 2015 #36 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I booked last week through a travel agent. MY TA is on vacation this week. Anyone know if I can call and see if they can apply this to my sailing even though I booked through a TA? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there another agent in the agency who can help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, she left an emergency back up contact but it makes me feel bad using it at 8:30 at night especially if I don't know if the overall price of the cruise changed. I didn't realize this offer til just now.... I guess at a minimum its worth an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaAtlCruiser Posted December 1, 2015 #39 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I upgraded my Dec cruise today and got the $400 OBC. I went from inside guarantee to balcony guarantee. It cost me an additional $159, but I got a $400 OBC instead of the $50 I had. So worked out well for me. Truth is it worked out well for RCCL too because I would not have spent an addition $159 on board. My other cruises are more than what I paid so left those the same. Now off to figure out how to spend $400 on a 4 night cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted December 1, 2015 #40 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I am just seeing the Cyber sale right now. My TA isn't responding to my text. It's 930pm CST. Has anyone booked with a TA and called RCI to get the OBC?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted December 1, 2015 #41 Share Posted December 1, 2015 what if I book another cabin online with RCI? And then cancel the one with my TA. And then have TA move the new booking from RCI to TA? ugh! It is late at night and TA isn't responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaAtlCruiser Posted December 1, 2015 #42 Share Posted December 1, 2015 what if I book another cabin online with RCI? And then cancel the one with my TA. And then have TA move the new booking from RCI to TA? ugh! It is late at night and TA isn't responding. That is why I book directly with RCCL. Good luck to you. If your cruise is still a ways off, you don't care about your cabin and there is not penalty from your TA to cancel - I say book online with RCCL. You can choose to transfer to the TA if you like.

Boo's Mom Posted December 1, 2015 #43 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have it booked already with a TA. Is RCI going to know if I book online tonight, and tomorrow - cancel with my TA? And then move it over to TA at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted December 1, 2015 #44 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's a $400.00 OBC, or otherwise I wouldn't be trying to do this at 10pm. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted December 1, 2015 #45 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I looked into doing this for my European sailing next September. However, my single supplement pricing has jumped up $900. Think I'll stay put with my booking :) I don't need unlimited internet on vacation anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize this offer til just now.... I guess at a minimum its worth an e-mail. TA came thru and emailed that credit has been applied. My regular TA is on vaca so I will have to wait for copies of confirmation when she returns, so hopefully price didn't change etc. I just bought 6 days ago do I'd doubt it. When booking disney cruises I'd get great OBCs by using a TA. Seems RCI is a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you can have the new booking moved to your TA and they can cancel it tomorrow. Maybe it's just me but I thought the TAs were supposed to keep an eye on deals like this, if they don't what's the point unless they are offering you extras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrs Posted December 1, 2015 #48 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I just booked 2 cruises and one is for September 2016 but I did not see the option for the free vroom. I am sailing on the Allure is there something I needed to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted December 1, 2015 #49 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I just did a dummy booking on RCI. With the Diamond discount (225.00 per cabin) there is no change from my original price to the current special. There is NO OBC offered. If I remove the diamond discount, the cost is 225.00 more AND there is a $400.00 OBC. Doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrs Posted December 1, 2015 #50 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I checked my cruise price with obc and with my crown and anchor id. The pricing stayed the same. On one of them even added my balcony discount back on making it cheaper than I would paid today without the obc. I'm happy, quickly booked 3 cruises to make it under the wire :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
