cruise plum vs royal website price difference

[allennn]

we are looking at some crown loft suites for mid july on symphony and the prices on cruiseplum are 8k where as the prices on royal website are 14k.  Any idea why I'm seeing such a differential in pricing?

maybe you're concerned about future posts, and I'm not sure why you're moderating, but in case it's about the OP....

You should try the site out before commenting. That site is a wonderful search engine site. It is not a travel agency and does not book cruises. Links within take you only to the cruiseline's website. I spoke with the owner who created the site because they love to cruise and wanted to share their programming that they created as a hobby.

Cruiseplum downloads a few times a day from some central database....I'm told...but maybe just a bit out of date in your particular instance.Cruise prices do fluctuate hourly if not daily. If it continued throughout the day, there must be a glitch.

Make sure that you are looking at the price after the discounts.

 

July 17, 24 and 31 are all around the $8000 mark.

I've found the prices on CP to consistently not account for my C&A, Senior, Veteran, and state discount.  In other words, RCI always has a lower price than CP after I click all the way through.

This was the answer.  I didn't realize I was looking at the rack rate and not the other 'total price' rate.  thank you so much!
