Doesn't say anything about JS or above. Interesting! I might try calling in to see if I can get this! Has anyone else who has an Oasis class balcony booked been able to get the free grats?

erdin Posted January 5, 2018 #105 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi Guys, Trying to get my head around this sale and Royal Caribbeans policies as I am a first timer with them plus being from Ireland I cant ring their toll numbers. I booked 4 days ago and the obc increased to $275 from $100 and the fare went up by $40 . Would I be entitled to an increase? I will throw them an email regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted January 5, 2018 Author #106 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So I called back because I saw my cruise and price were the same and they gave me $75 OBC. However when I looked again today the Non refundable OBC should be $275. They said in order to get $275 OBC, I couldn’t use my C&A balcony discount but they could give me $175 OBC for a $55 price increase. I went ahead and changed it. I figure I still make out $45 to get the extra $100 OBC and I keep the balcony discount. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillie43 Posted January 5, 2018 #107 Share Posted January 5, 2018 WOW! This is really a sale? I went on to reprice my cruise to see if I could get a better deal. Ain’t happening. Guess I must have got the good price earlier. I booked last September on the BOGO sale and my aft cabin, after discount, tax/port charges and C&A balcony discount came to $2870 but no OBC. Repriced cruise with 30% off each came to $3733. It did give me $175 OBC. Think I’ll leave well enough alone. Glad you’re all saving something.

For a non-refundable CP balcony reduction of $388 and OBCs of $175. I had to give up the $125 OBC from my TA, but in the long run I'm coming up smelling like a rose.

Dennis#1 Posted January 5, 2018 #111 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Is the so-called Semi Annual WOW Sale really a Sale? I repriced all my 2018 and 2019 cruises yesterday (taking into consideration added OBC and lost OBC), and none of them resulted in a lower net price.

nik23 Posted January 5, 2018 #113 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Never hurts to give C&A a call, and if you don't succeed, try again. With the new promotion that started yesterday, my cruise for next month is showing $125 OBC which I did not have with previous sale, but I am passed final payment. I knew it was a long shot, but I called C&A and inquired about the OBC, and I was turned down by the first agent, stating I was passed final payment and that there was nothing they could do for me. So today....I had to call RCL regarding my shore excursions (20% off sale) and while I was on the phone with the agent I mentioned the new OBC sale. This agent was very helpful, and looked into my reservation, repriced my cruise, which went up only $36, and put me on hold to speak to his supervisor. He came back on the line 2 minutes later granting my request for the OBC!! ***so the 20% I saved on the shore excursion, covered the $36 cruise fare increase, and I still managed to get $125 OBC...HAPPY:D I am so glad I asked again....you just never know with RCL. Thanks to this thread, I decided to ask as many times as possible, and just may be you will get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted January 5, 2018 Author #114 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I had to ask again too. Soooo my “sale” was getting OBC with a net savings of $120. Yesterday it was 75, and by calling today I got the extra off too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvit! Posted January 5, 2018 #117 Share Posted January 5, 2018 True...I did benefit a bit as well. Kept the same cruise price and earned $75 OBC in the process. Me, too! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to this thread, I decided to ask as many times as possible, and just may be you will get lucky. THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. I don't consider myself a newbie, more naive than newbie. I usually book with RCCL using their 24-hour line and have had excellent service. Well, booking my last two cruises have been interesting to say the least. And reading these posts, I understand now that it's a regular occurrence with RCCL. Like Nik23 says, "If you don't succeed, try again" and also with, "you just never know". - Called in the fall regarding the "free grats" and I was under the assumption that it applied to all passengers. The fine print is just that - FINE, so small and confusing. So when my invoice came later with the grats, it only had the first two passengers. I mentioned that their advertising is misleading. They have no problems indicating details on the BOGO (second is 50% off, not free as this term is commonly used), but the free grats is vague and should be more clear. When booking, the agent did not mention this either. So call me naive, but advertising should be more clear and concise to avoid the buyer from feeling mislead. Anyways, they gave me free grat for one of my kids as a sign of good faith. Call. Always call. - Called the first time for a price reduction and got it! Saved $500! - Called for pricing and availability (we're a party of 5) and was told they were full. But other reasons prompted me to call again and sure enough, there was a JS available. The agent did not have the new plans (Adventure of the Seas January refurbishment). Call. Always call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
