scooters dad Posted May 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Here's a first...Price on the Majesty of the Seas yesterday for 9/7/18 was $200.53/pp for a 3 nt. cruise. RCL calls today and canceled the booking because they said RCL had made an error in the price. But as a gesture of "good will" the Pinnacle member can get a $50.00/pp OBC if they accept the corrected price of $380.53/pp. Has it ever happened to you?

irishgal432 Posted May 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Yes, it has happened to me 2 times on two sailings. They claim that it is a website glitch and they do not honor it. I did receive 100.00 OBC for a future cruise. Sounds like they are even decreasing that offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robyn206 Posted May 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Wow, someone actually got in on those prices? There were several 4-5 nighters I was looking at in November that showed the around $200 price on the website, but as soon as you chose your room category, the prices jumped back up.

CP3o Posted May 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2017 What sort of cabin was it? For 3 nt in OV seems like they should roll w it even if a glitch Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted May 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Were these before people put down deposits? If you reserve a cabin and pay a deposit or even pay it in full, can they come back and not honor it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Were these before people put down deposits? If you reserve a cabin and pay a deposit or even pay it in full, can they come back and not honor it? My understanding was that these booking were on a short hold, no deposit made yet.

slyster Posted May 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ok...good lesson there....if you get a price that's too good to be true, put down a deposit! Not sure they would honor it, but that would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwrod Posted May 12, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I did just that...paid in full. I do , however, have a voicemail from RCCL wanting me to call regarding that reservation as "they have some information they would like to discuss regarding the booking" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegalfl Posted May 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 12, 2017 We paid in full and they still raised the price, and I have a receipt showing a $0 balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of scary, what stops them from doing this to all bookings, citing a mistake. How does anyone know if their price is a mistake or not.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they get away with this- it is false advertising and their marketing people should know that fully well. I would complain on high and go straight up the chain and make them honor the price if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the glitches get "fixed" right away - so maybe you are safe after x days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have a contract (they've issued your reservation), it should be the price. I know in retail if the store has the wrong price, they are required to honor it, at least for the first item.
