taylortime05 Posted December 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I thought this looked like a great deal for a family cruise. I'm not crazy about the itinerary but I love the Oasis. 7 Night Eastern on Dec 16 2018 for 2 in an 8D category for total of 1582 including taxes and port fees. Is that a good deal or is it cheaper because of the itinerary? ORLANDO (PORT CANAVERAL), FL NASSAU, BAHAMAS CHARLOTTE AMALIE, ST. THOMAS PHILIPSBURG, ST.

Rjh8842 Posted December 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It could be better. They had around that price on at least a few oasis cruises on black friday. But they also came with a $300 on board credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they also came with a $300 on board credit.. Wow, that would have been fantastic to get 300 OBC. I was on a cruise on black Friday so I didn't get a chance to do much shopping. I did just get an additional 75 off just now because they just added another promotion. I am thinking of moving my reservation to a big box TA that will give a cash back card.

Norwich Cruiser Posted December 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 14, 2017 If you're happy with it I would book it seems a reasonable deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted December 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 14, 2017 There's an instant savings today price is now $1528 for an 8D I think that's a good price. Thinking of booking it as well:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortime05 Posted December 14, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted December 14, 2017 There's an instant savings today price is now $1528 for an 8D I think that's a good price. Thinking of booking it as well:) I booked 5 cabins yesterday and then I was up late last night and checked the prices and saw the instant savings. The savings was 75 per cabin but I only net about 50 saving per cabin because they took the savings and then the 30% so 30% was little less than before instant savings. But I will take any savings, they add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylortime05 Posted December 14, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Still no balcony discount with the "instant discount"? I only have 14 points with Royal so I don't think I'm eligible for a balcony discount. Is this a perk by status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted December 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Still no balcony discount with the "instant discount"? Nope- The rate with the D+ discount is $1406, $122 less than the rate for a first time cruiser Edited December 14, 2017 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 14, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I only have 14 points with Royal so I don't think I'm eligible for a balcony discount. Is this a perk by status? Yes, balcony discount starts at Platinum, 30 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectx Posted December 14, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Maybe I'm biased because any date I search is during peak season when the kids are off school. That being said for a balcony room that sounds like a steal. BOOK IT. Worst case the price drops and you can rebook at a lower rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted December 14, 2017 #19 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Me too Here's a screen shot. AND this is a refundable rate. When I called this morning the non refundable was a couple of hundred dollars higher, obviously a glitch someplace There is no option on their site for the non refundable, it is only showing the refundable rates. I am thinking that they might catch that shortly SUMMARY Ocean View Balcony $1,938.00 2 Guests Deck 8 Room 8140 Edit View pricing by guest 30% Savings -$561.00 Instant Savings -$75.00 Subtotal: 1,302.00 Taxes & Fees $226.00 TOTAL $1,528.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rt1092 Posted December 14, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 14, 2017 We booked the Oasis 12/16/18. Day after Thanksgiving Great Price $1100 (total for 2, inc taxes and fees) for a CP balcony . Plus $100 OBC. I believe the reason for the low prices is the disembarkation date being so close to Christmas. Air fares will be expensive and Traffic should be a nightmare. We only have to drive to northeast Florida So we can deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
