Tromler Posted February 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2017 So I got a email today from RCL that had a number of specials for internet (50% off) including one that said 30% off Deluxe Beverage...but when I log into my cruise planner, it says 30% off, but then when I click on it it says price reflects 20% discount.... guess I will be calling... anyone else have this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted February 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ignore all the %off numbers, just know what a good deal is and book that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromler Posted February 6, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ignore all the %off numbers, just know what a good deal is and book that. I think you are missing what I am saying..the price online is only 20% off...it is NOT the 30% off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moski Posted February 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The same thing happened to me. It stated 30% off but then it was only 20% when I tried to book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ignore all the %off numbers, just know what a good deal is and book that. Is anyone even aware of a constant baseline for the pkg's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tofubeast Posted February 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Same experience here. I booked at "20%" off. Email says 30%...but price is same. Kinda tired of these sneaky marketing ploys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted February 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Me too. The website said 30% off but when I tried to book it, it said the prices reflect a 20% discount. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JessyCruises Posted February 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) So I got a email today from RCL that had a number of specials for internet (50% off) including one that said 30% off Deluxe Beverage...but when I log into my cruise planner, it says 30% off, but then when I click on it it says price reflects 20% discount.... guess I will be calling... anyone else have this issue Are you sure the banner does not say "up to 30% off"? That is what mine says but the price is only 20% off. I called and they said my sailing is only 20% Edited February 6, 2017 by Canadian Disney Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveanaruss Posted February 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I think some of you are missing a very key word in the email **UPTO**. I thought the same thing and jumped online quick to cancel my previous orders, but then read the email again to make sure. The only items really discounted were the internet and the refreshment package...all the other deals were the same as they were before.

Tromler Posted February 6, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Agree on the UP TO 30%....but when you log into cruise planner for your actual cruise, this morning the package had a banner across stating 30% off.....but just went in and they have now corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted February 6, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I think you are missing what I am saying..the price online is only 20% off...it is NOT the 30% off... and you are missing my point; don't go by % off because RCI is playing games with the prices so much you have no idea what price they are basing the % off from.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising4me Posted February 6, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My wife booked a beverage package for herself today, (I had booked one a couple weeks ago for myself), even though the site said 20% the price was lower than what I had paid previously for our upcoming 9 day cruise,I paid $467.28 and she paid $403.56. I am thinking they just never updated the website to reflect to 30% since it is a "sale" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted February 6, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Its only a matter of time before they raise the price enough to be able to offer 50% discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromler Posted February 6, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted February 6, 2017 and you are missing my point; don't go by % off because RCI is playing games with the prices so much you have no idea what price they are basing the % off from.;) No, as I know what the 20% price off was yesterday, which is what it was today....the same price....so using a static number for comparison does let me "have an idea" of price. I get what you are saying...but I was simply stating that advertising 30% and showing 20% is not the same thing..... Price at 20% off is 48 bucks yesterday and 20% off today is 48 bucks....then one would expect full price to be 48/.8=60 so 30% off would be 60*.7=42 bucks....not my first rodeo with RCL....

Biker19 Posted February 6, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2017 You also have to consider that this is RCI IT we're talking about.....just sayin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted February 6, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 6, 2017 How far in advance is the full cruise planner available? We're booked for January of '18 and have bits and pieces open but are unable to access the beverage packages. Of course I'd like to catch a 30% discount but I don't want to check on it daily since we're so far out. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckery73 Posted February 7, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I went on RC's site today and looked at the discount for the excursions. I had previously booked the Cococay water slide & Aqua Park for $37.00 per person. Now it shows a red banner across corner stating "up to 20% off". Now the price is $36.00 per person. Wow I thought a $1 discount thats it! Also the drink package says up to 30% then it shows that is is only a 20% discount for my cruise....its no cheaper since i originally booked it months ago. This all just seems misleading. It's a sale but not really a sale.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted February 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Actually your thread title summed it up. Everything about RCI marketing is an attempt to delude you, hence the delusion of the deluze beverage package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttrfly78 Posted February 7, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I noticed the same things for the spa and dining specials listed. Is it only the ones that have the banner in the corner? Does anyone know the ypical price for chefs table or the steakhouse on Oasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser1956 Posted February 7, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So, if I buy the drink package, am I still charged the gratuity every time I order a drink, or is the drink at no additional charge. ? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 7, 2017 #23 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So, if I buy the drink package, am I still charged the gratuity every time I order a drink, or is the drink at no additional charge. ? No additional gratuity is charged when you order a drink, as long as the drink is within the package limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrick2524 Posted February 7, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Are the packages refundable prior to sailing. Not sure if i want to filly commit to some of the excursion discounts (July 17 / allure) I couldnt find any guidelines about canceling if a better deal comes out prior to final payment.

cruiser1956 Posted February 7, 2017 #25 Share Posted February 7, 2017 No additional gratuity is charged when you order a drink, as long as the drink is within the package limit. Ok, thanks. Do the bartenders feel slighted? Should I carry some cash? Or is there a place on the tab to add a gratuity?
