AlanF65 Posted August 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I made a reservation last month for 2018 to Alaska. Last night I added Crown and Anchor number and my BOGO 50 off discount went away. I didn't make any other changes, I was just trying to see what my stateroom number was. Before I call is this a software glitch? I have never sailed on RC and added the C&A membership after my reservation was made and $250 deposit was paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted August 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I don't know. What do the terms and conditions of your cruise say? Lots of times when you apply one thing, you lose another, not counting the ole computer glitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they still have problems with the website making unwanted changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you only got that after you completed your first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No perks, but in the past they have required C&A membership to book onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukkian Posted August 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just curious, if you've never sailed RC before, how can you have a C&A number? I thought you only got that after you completed your first cruise. My wife and I had ours right after we booked (about 300 days before our cruise) and added it to our reservation for February of this year. My kids both have theirs for our 2nd cruise (their first) next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novicecruiser1 Posted August 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I posted about the same thing happening to me just last week. It gets fixed once I call and spend quite some time explaining the issue. I've learned that it changes anytime I go into my reservation on line - which has taught me to just stop opening up my reservation at all. Very frustrating! I do have a statement from them showing the correct rate, including discounts and down payment - requested that as a result of a suggestion on this board.

AlanF65 Posted August 16, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted August 16, 2017 did the balance price change? Yes it went from 4200 to 6100 +/-, I don't want to log back on again, its an expensive website to visit :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeighAnchor Posted August 16, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2017 This also happens if you make any changes to the area of the reservation that lets you pick your dining choice (early, late MTD) and how you want your beds arranged. What happens is that it reprices the reservation to the current rate. Their website has more glitches than grains of sand on a beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanF65 Posted August 16, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So it took about 20 minutes to resolve, the customer service rep saw the change in about two minutes but she couldn't get me everything back from the sale so it had to be escalated. The got me my original deal back, basically the website considered me adding the C&A # a change to the reservation and it went to todays street price. They sent me an invoice confirming everything which they never did before. Now I have a formal document with the discount and prepaid and onboard credits. The RC website is definitely buggy, I would have booked with the warehouse travel but the deal wasn't available when I booked so I booked direct. Today I could get the same deal with more ob. cash and the cash card form the warehouse travel. A- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No perks, but in the past they have required C&A membership to book onboard. Also, Celebrity Captain's Club members have always been able to sign up for C&A based on their Captain's Club tier, before their first Royal cruise. So, a Captain's Club Elite member can (and has been able to for many years) take his or her first Royal Caribbean cruise as a C&A Diamond member.

A- You may still be able to transfer the reservation to the big warehouse travel agency depending on how much time has passed. If you transfer you'll get the travel agency perks. No need to call Royal. Call the travel agency and provide them the reservation/booking number. Edited August 17, 2017 by Tee & Chilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Orchid Posted August 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Their web site is crazy, I booked my upcoming cruise on Harmony for September couple days ago. All went well, got the email said that I paid the amount in full, my cruise account showed the correct amount. Printed out both the invoice and the email. Half an hour later I decided to go in and changed the bed choice . Right away,they took out the C&A discount, and said my balance now is $100. Called C&A next day, the guy said I see that your balance is $385.I said uh uh, I got the invoice and the email here with the correct amount, I'm not going to pay that. So after he put me on hold couple times then come back with " great news " that it's all fix :'). I asked him why it did that, he told me it happen "sometime " when people make changes .Lol Edited August 17, 2017 by Moon Orchid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted August 17, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you so much for this. I was already afraid of the site, but getting and adding a C&A number was something I might have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you transfer you'll get the travel agency perks. No need to call Royal. Call the travel agency and provide them the reservation/booking number. I made my reservation on 7-22-2017. It was such a good deal I didn't want to do much shopping around other than price checking for an few hours various other choices. Do I have 60 days to change? Its too early to get flight reservations on the airline I want, I think I have the miles for a free airline ticket and I was going to do that through the RC link but now I think I will just use the airline direct. I am a little worried about adding excursions next spring. My first cruise was Carnival and I had zero issues with their website. I think it might be worth considering a sticky for known RC web issues. A- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A- You have 60 days from the time you booked to transfer to a TA as long as it isn't after final payment or if you have not paid your cruise in full. So, check out different TA's to get the best offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
