30% off deal over 4/3...anyone know what's up next?

[4merlurker]

I'm thinking another BOGO. :rolleyes:

 

I booked under the 30% off. Does that stop me from taking advantage of future offers or price drops? No OBC so I'm not worried about losing that.

 

Thanks!

It's BOGOHO with 25% off the third and fourth passengers.

 

Also prepaid gratuities with an OV cabin or higher.

 

Someone will probably post the terms. I don't have them. It is posted on the RCL blog

omg im so mad lol Ive been waiting for the pre paid to come up since last April to take advantage on it for our cruise in May! Now its to late lol

[dddone]

BOGOHO,

If I remember my math, means basically 25% off.

25% off < 30% off

I wonder if I can take advantage of the free grats?

BOGOHO,

25% off < 30% off

 

But they will fiddle with the base price so it works out to being equal after discounts are applied.

sure you can, but the old deal goes away and the new one takes effect

[Clarea]

If you are before final payment, then I expect you could get the free grats, if you were willing to pay current prices.

Thank y'all for posting about this. I was trying to decide whether to book or wait on a 2017 cruise with my nieces.

OK CC experts (Bob) I'm cruising on the Oasis 4/2. Was planning to book an Alaskan cruise while on board (July 2017). Family of 4, 2 rooms, one balcony & one interior. So I take it I'm better off booking prior to the 4/4 sale because I won't get the free grats and 30% is better than 25%.

The BOGHO would apply but not the prepaid grats for an Alaska sailing

Ok, we are on the 4/2 sailing of the Navigator (in two days!!! :D:D) looking at 9 night 3/31/17 southern caribbean out of miami. 4 people we are looking at an inside but with the free grats (and looking at current pricing) OV might be better.

 

If we book onboard on 4/3 under current 30% then go back the next day when the new sale comes out is it easy to switch to the new sale?

 

Any opinions??

Ok, so we are looking to book our first suite on RC next year. I have been pricing out the cruise we've been looking at for several months now. This is the current price for 3 of us in a Grand Balcony Suite, Allure, at the end of May 2017:

With the upcoming promo, using the same price pp, I come up with a total of approximately $8644 for the 3 of us. (I'm actually not sure if I figured up the right total for the 3rd passenger, so I may be off on this total).

 

Do you guys think the price pp will come down with the new promo? I know many times they jack the rates up with promos, but if this current deal is a better one, then I want to jump on it now instead of waiting.

There's no way to predict how the base prices will change with the new promo. If you will be booking under US/Conadian rules, then I'd book now to freeze your price, and then if the new prices are better, worst case is you can cancel and rebook.

If we re-book, we would lose the pre-paid gratuities, right? Just want to make sure I completely understand how that would work so we don't lose out on anything. :)

Whenever you re-book you are subject to whatever promotions are running on that day. I would do what Bob says, book now and then watch prices.

 

For all these sales they have been letting people re-price their bookings so if you booked today and Monday's deal is better you could re-price to that promo

Thank you & Bob too! That's exactly what we're going to do. RCCL is our favorite line, but we've never cancelled and re-booked with them, so I just wanted to make sure I completely understood everything if we need to do that. :)

I don't know of a promo in force now that gives prepaid gratuities, so I'm not sure I understand the question.

RCI has NO free grats with this current promo. 30% off...not that big a deal. Also, if RCI gives an OBC and you rebook, you will probably lose the OBC...

 

 

Also waiting to see what next offer is on the Anthem for October...maybe a nice price drop would be great :-)

[molly361]

The sale that starts Monday 4/4 has the prepaid grats (OV and higher) but not 30% off, back to 25% off the second guest.

 

Edit This sale only lasts 10 days which I find interesting. We get to go thru all this again soon :)

Sorry, guys, I was referring to the upcoming promo. The upcoming apparently is going to have free grats, 50% off 2nd guest, 25% 3rd/4th. I realize the current promo is only 30% off, so I was just trying to compare what the price difference may be based off the current rates. :)

Since the end of this sale coincides with tax day, I'm really hoping they have the same sale as last year (pay no taxes) we got an awesome deal on that short sale (it was like a 3 day sale)

Hmmm. I had booked a FoS family Oceanview for Feb 2017. Total for 5 with the previous Canadian deal was $3600 CDN with no OBC.

will they do price guarantee if the are no more rooms left in your categories. When I tried to get my price adjusted 2 year s ago they told me if there are no similar category rooms left they won't adjust price.

So do they actually rebook or just adjust price if it is a better deal.

Thanks

There has to be at least one room left in your category to get your price adjusted. That was correct info.
