Want2Cruise 701 Posted April 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2016 My Oasis cruise is showing 20% off for the Premium Package @$47/day. The problem is the package before was only $49/pp. Their literature online shows the original price of the package at $49 as well. The math does work out if you include the gratuities BUT, when you add it to your cart, Royal ADDS the gratuities so there is no 20% off. You are saving $2/day. That is the equivalent to a good drink for the entire week. Just another example of their FAKE sales, IMO!!!!! WOW!!!! :( I just feel bad for people who aren't cruise junkies like me and don't monitor things like I do daily. They think they are actually getting a discount.

champagne123 Posted April 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2016 In all fairness.....maybe it changed...but mine was a true 20 percent off. My whole family got the premium package and we all saved hundreds of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Maiden's-No1-Fan Posted April 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's getting to the point where it's just beyond ridiculous now! Someone on our roll-call to rhe fjords telephoned royal and asked why..and was told it's because port taxes have increased in Norway hence the price increase...that's fine but there are increases on other ships going all over the world.. Can't even get a story straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champagne123 Posted April 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I just wanted to point out something. Everyone (not just this thread) is mentioning the 18 percent gratuity. Well, yes they are adding it on. Even if they didn't it would be added to your tab on the ship and therefore would be added to your final bill. The promotion is 20 percent off the package...not free gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler Posted April 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I paid $310.80 for a 7 night premium package last Friday. Guess it is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Maiden's-No1-Fan Posted April 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) The package has increased for me by around 20% to £45 a day from £39.90 on Monday..without the promo it would then be over £50 a day for the premium.. that's not right..a jump of over £10 a day..that's some increase.

masonpips Posted April 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I've been trying to catch up and figure this out. The RCCL brochure shows Pricing of 39/49/59 My Cruise Planner shows 42/65/75 which "IS" the discount?

champagne123 Posted April 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Do you mind sharing what you paid for your premium package? Was.....$49 per day PLUS 18% GRATUITIES .......441+80=521 Now....$39 per day Plus 18% Gratuities............351+63=414 This is for a 9 day cruise. So PER couple, we saved $214 We have a lot of people going, so everyone was very happy with this. ____________________________________________________ Sooooo.......if you drink $12 cocktails or glasses of wine......we break EVEN by having 4 drinks a day. Anything OVER 4 drinks is gravy. :):):) Edited April 28, 2016 by champagne123 xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only possible catch: in the brochure it says: "Prices starting at 39/49/59". This might indicate that for some (and then for more and eventually for all) sailings the prices are higher :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you add the entire cost 20% off of $343 is NOT $310 which they are charging for the total. It doesn't add up. It is not off the package.

Iron-Maiden's-No1-Fan Posted April 28, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 28, 2016 All I know is that it's increased for me since Monday by £6 as I check prices often ..sad I know..without the promo it's going to be an increase of £11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted April 28, 2016 #19 Share Posted April 28, 2016 We originally paid $404 pp for DH and I a few weeks back. Then we saw the "SALE" last Friday and I called. First guy told me it didn't apply to our sailing. June 11th on Oasis. Called back again and they cancelled my original and rebooked us at $310 pp. Glad we did that before they realized they made a mistake.:D:D Saved almost $200 for the 2 of us. This was for the premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just giving you my example. It sounds to me like there is some sort of error somewhere ...I would call. It is certainly worth the savings.

Want2Cruise 701 Posted April 28, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Any chance you called Royal to see if this was a mistake? I did. C&A. I got the runaround. They couldn't provide me with a straight answer. One person said she couldn't help me. I called back. The 2nd person said they are 20% off. When I asked then how they arrived at that price with the math, there was no explanation other than prices vary. I then proceeded to ask what price they are discounting the 20% from and she couldn't tell me. I never did get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, we got it for $310 pp for a 7 nt Oasis sailing in June. Took me 2 calls, but we finally got it. You are 100% correct. Their math does NOT add up. Keep calling and escalate it if you need to. Good Luck!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_70 Posted April 28, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just like a previous poster.. I booked 2 on the package for 410 a piece about a month ago. The sale hit and I took advantage of it and it went down almost 100 bucks a person. I am not looking at the invoice but I am pretty sure it was like 315. so I would call and get the price. remember the 49 a person then you ADD the gratuities... so it is like 59 after everything is said and done... if it is now 47 after everything is done.. well that is 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
