Croozin Soozin Posted July 3, 2019 #828 Share Posted July 3, 2019 ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS Dear Guest, Well, this round’s on us. On Monday, July 1st, 2019, from 4:00 PM to 1:30 AM EST, we posted incorrect pricing of $18 USD per person, per day, for Deluxe Beverage Packages. Given that we typically price these packages at about $55 USD per person, per day, it was the (messed up) deal of the century. This was a BIG mistake! It might have been bad code, a random computer glitch — or maybe we just need to reinstate our intern typing test. Any which way, it was our error, and we’ll own it. Enjoy your deep, deep discount — while we go drown our sorrows. Happy 4th of July! Sincerely, 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RCI should also add an extra $100 OBC and a free specially restaurant just because of the added stress they caused. 😁 dp 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micruiser2002 Posted July 3, 2019 #841 Share Posted July 3, 2019 5 hours ago, Milwaukee Eight said: Not similar, not the same. One thing, when you booked the cruise you agreed to the contact with Royal (any cruise line), agreed to terms and conditions. It allows them to correct pricing errors. If people have an issue, don’t book a cruise. I was not saying it was the same, what I was saying is at some point this needs to be legally addressed. Companies need to start being held accountable for these types of errors. Sorry but at what point do we all have to just assume that anything we book could be cancelled and then a higher price is put in place? I should be able to book a cruise and also book additional options without fear of them cancelling because they can claim a pricing error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 3, 2019 #842 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The cynic in me says RCI will find a way to "cancel" some of these purchases slowly over time (they have a year in many cases) where 1-2 people won't be able to create the storm this one has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i I am hoping for OBC but sale would work for many others. I haven't seen it yet, but my cruise mate got an email from the supposed head of public relations(Aurora Rodriquez) basically saying, "ooops, our bad" we will honor it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly a fair percentage that I wouldn't even speculate on will change their plans or reservation in some way and the "deal" won't be transferrable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted July 3, 2019 #849 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Pleasant surprise for us for two cruises. Royal will still profit from us even with lower price (we drink soda and a couple of glasses of Diamond wine at dinner) but appreciate them deciding to honor the goof. Would never book this at the $46-56 normal discounted price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
