sandc4e Posted August 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2021 WOW sale is up and is including OBC (haven't seen that in awhile). Was able to get the OBC added to our reservation, no change in pricing for us but having some OBC helps with the drink bill. Happy Friday Jr. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted August 12, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) the price increases from what I have mine booked at pretty much offset the OBC But this should surely help some others Edited August 12, 2021 by smokeybandit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 12, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2021 As I remember the obc from wow does not combine with shareholders which is higher. Says up to 300 obc, but 75 is most I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted August 12, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Don't know if it's the WOW sale but prices have dropped a lot on the short Bahama sailings from Sept - Dec. At leas the ones from PC. I had a 3 night on the Indy at $470 solo for a balcony which I thought was pretty good. It's now down to $338. Booked a four night solo balcony (November) for $416 Edited August 12, 2021 by molly361 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezer Posted August 12, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Anyone know if someone past final payment has any options with this sale? For me it is a difference of $100. I'm on Mariner 10/11/21. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Cruise With Confidence promotion allows for the price adjustment, you end up getting it in the form of an onboard credit, last I checked. I have my TA checking on this for me for 2 cruises right now. Here's hoping there's some additional OBC! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Friday Jr. I just re-priced my CP Balcony January 22 Allure cruise out of FLL and saved myself $390. The pricing structure is different than when I booked it initially in March of this year. I'm sailing solo, and it's pricing it as a true solo and only receiving $113 rather than the $250 C&A D+ balcony discount. Not going to argue. When I booked originally the cruise fare was $2,980 before all discounts & T&F. The revised invoice has a cruise fare of $1,813. Also, when I did a mock booking a few days ago, it was almost $400 higher than my original price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TytalusWarden Posted August 12, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just now, nelblu said: Can I call and by-pass my TA. You can try. A few people have said that works, others say the RCL agents will immediately tell you to speak with your travel agent for anything related. Kinda' a hit-or-miss situation. If you send it to your travel agent they should be able to get it done, even if it takes a few days. RCL can look up the historical price and resolve it that way. I personally don't like waiting, much like you, so I might try calling here in a bit as well to see if I can do it over the phone instead of through the TA.

slanik Posted August 12, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I think you need to contact your travel agent. We always book directly with the cruise lines. I don't have the patience for the middle man. I called on Monday and got $1015 of OBC for my August 20 cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampurp85 Posted August 12, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I was only able to get a deal on 1/5 cruises, all the rest went up even with the OBC offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted August 12, 2021 #21 Share Posted August 12, 2021 My May TA is $152 more than I paid ($77 more after $75 OBC). My Sept TA is $4000 more than I paid, and that is for a lower category. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgtp Posted August 12, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 12, 2021 bummer, i priced it out and online says $300 difference plus $100 credit. Called my TA and she states only a $100 difference and not sure if the $100 OBC is combinable with lower price. I am just about ready to cancel and rebook to get the $400 discount. Ridiculous! She said she will let me know via email later tonight, as RCCL has long wait times. double bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 12, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I thought the WOW OBC was for new bookings only ? All my 7 RCI cruises have almost doubled in price....so no repricing for me. Edited August 12, 2021 by Ashland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted August 12, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I saved $149 on our 12-22-22 OA cruise. This is the third cruise fare price reduction in the last month. WOOHOO !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
