CruisingNole Posted May 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I just checked and a cruise I was looking at yesterday is now several hundred dollars MORE expensive during the WOW "sale." I am WOWed more and more every time RC has this promotion. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am WOWed more and more every time RC has this promotion. :') Ditto. The cruise lines rely on the ignorance of NON CC'ers to pay the insane prices. My cruise has doubled in price.

cruisegirl1 Posted May 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Looked at a cruise YESTERDAY, but did not book it because I needed to check some scheduling. Of course, now it is $100 per person more! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted May 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I reserve my WOWs for the people who seem to think they should get another discount off their booked price every month simply because something is advertised as a new sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some cruises are better, but never one I was interested in. Maybe they should rename it the BS sale (Be Suspicious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU_Cruising_Pirates Posted May 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The sales aren't always beneficial but a few months back I called and had our Southern Caribbean Freedom cruise in June repriced and saved $1,200. Just depends on the sailing and the timing of when you look. I thought it was interesting though that when we were looking at excursions this past Sunday the sale said "25% off excursions all week" and when I purchased a few of them today the countdown clock now shows 36 hours left in the sale. Not quite "all week". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellunderwater Posted May 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Every time I hear of a new sale on Royal Caribbean, I can't help but think of Flounder from Animal House saying, "Oh boy, this is gonna be great!" ;p :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted May 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A cruise I was looking at yesterday on Jewel the OBC increased to $225 from $100 per cabin but the price increased $100 per person. Net $75 more expensive. I guess I'll wait for the next non sale that isn't WOW for a cheaper price. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer Tim Posted May 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Maybe we can get a WOW sale combined with the Buy One Get One for 50% sale so we can pay three times the price;) I really struggle to understand most of the sales, but the one with $1000 off Star Class was actually a real savings for us.

proggieus Posted May 1, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2018 What i can’t understand is how they feel it’s justified to change the prices for passenger 1 and 2 based on if you add a kid. When i reprice our upcoming cruise for two adults it shows a base fare of $2067 for ea adult but if i add a kid to the same room the adults go up to $2670 ea. It’s flat out false advertising at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted May 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Just checked my bookings against the Wow sale. Oh yeah, I am really Wowed! ;p Every one of them went up in price. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am WOWed more and more every time RC has this promotion. :') yup same here, EVERY cruise has gone up with this new WOW promo. That is the normal thing with a Royal Sale. I book my cruises early and it pays off. Rarely do prices go down but if before final I still get the discount. I check prices almost daily to see if anything changes - I have yet to see a WOW sale give me a better price than I booked for at an earlier date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktrwe1 Posted May 2, 2018 #23 Share Posted May 2, 2018 How do you check your cruise price and determine if it is a better deal than what you have currently booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 2, 2018 #24 Share Posted May 2, 2018 How do you check your cruise price and determine if it is a better deal than what you have currently booked? Do a mock booking on Royal's website for the same cruise and stateroom category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
