Quick question, does the refreshment package have items NOT included in the deluxe beverage package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Refreshment includes everything in soda and deluxe includes everything in refreshment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, refreshment package has all the non-alcoholic options including specialty coffee, bottled water, fresh squeezed juices, mocktails and smoothies and soda. Deluxe just gives you the booze too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH that's the kind of wording they should have been using all along, rather than saying we will honor it/we won't honor it they should have just said "information will be coming" or something else equally vague. People would still be upset, but better vague than blatantly backtracking I think they are still going to cancel. Unlike the messages that said they would honor the deal, they aren't deleting the messages that said they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are crafting a nice apology letter right now that will give us an idea of when the money will be refunded and tell us to enjoy our upcoming cruise🤣 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuntington3 Posted July 2, 2019 #507 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yeah, they are working through the issues with this mess. Not everything can be fixed with a snap of your fingers unless you are Thanos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee Eight Posted July 2, 2019 #511 Share Posted July 2, 2019 4 hours ago, ChollaChick said: We dont cruise often, in fact this is only the second cruise we have taken since the drink packages were offered. I called RCCL to book because we already had the $44 drink package reserved. I asked the rep who put me on hold to check if the $18 was a valid price and he said it was a special offer. I bought it and cancelled my $44 package. I honestly thought it was a special deal. I had heard to watch for price decreases so that's what I did. It will break my heart (and honestly DH's too) if the rescind and dont honor the price we paid. I hope you can work this out with Royal. This is something they should honor based on their mistakes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking that fee is 18% gratuity??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sellwingri Posted July 2, 2019 #517 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Maybe I’m an optimist but I still think they’re going to let keep it at $18. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like Bernie Sanders, continuously asked how does he plan to pay for it and never answers the question. In my opinion.

Guest BigRoger Posted July 2, 2019 #522 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Forgive my clear ignorance - what are (And were) people contacting RCI about? We found an offer in our cruise planner - it was great, we booked it.... that’s what happened..... I don’t get why this created so much ‘checking’ with RCI? I do though understand corporate behaviour and potentially what it has engendered... a situation where the behaviour of those people checking, rechecking, and checking again, contacting executives etc..... it has actually confirmed to RCI that people didn’t believe their luck and still don’t....it shows that you didn’t believe you should be allowed to benefit from the low price in the cruise planner and hence you won’t be surprised when RCI don’t honour the prices.... I’m not saying anything would have been different in outcome, but why effectively show by your conduct you already believe you shouldn’t have got this....

Most of the contacting Royal came after the back and forth of "it's legit... it's a glitch... we're honoring it... we're not honoring it" Most of the people contacting Royal now are just trying to get a straight, definitive answer of what's going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a large number of TA's sail and frequent here. As much fun as I like to poke at people saying the contacted RC about this or that in the Cruise Planner...it is always a good idea to be sure of something before offering to your clients 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
