coaster Posted November 23, 2021 #26 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Serenade showing at $54 today. Bought it at $40 two weeks ago. Percentage off is meaningless. I don't wait for 'sales'. Just check often and don't wait for a sale. Edited November 23, 2021 by coaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still showing regular pricing for Jan 29, 2022 Odyssey. I have it at a lower rate than current price due from last month (for this cruise) but will check again tomorrow just in case. I’m on Symphony on 1/29/22 and the drink and key hasn’t had any major discounts either. I’m not holding my breath for any further discounts.

So check then. Just because they put up a few things for a few ships a day early, doesn't mean you won't see the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale show up tomorrow. If you look at the flyer from Royal that has been posted in numerous threads on these boards, it says 'starts 11/23'.

coaster Posted November 23, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) The best 'sale' you will get is booking older ships in my experience. Price per day for your cabin is often cheaper along with a lower priced drink package. Edited November 23, 2021 by coaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt1 Posted November 23, 2021 #34 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Speaking of being a Happy Camper, all my non-dining Cruise Planner packages dropped in price. Just gotta love saving money! Turned around and “invested” that new “savings” by upgrading to a better Drink Package. This is turning out to be a really great cruise, and I’m not even on the ship yet! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktwothousand Posted November 23, 2021 #35 Share Posted November 23, 2021 All my prices dropped too. Don’t pay attention to what the “% off” says on the photo…looks like they haven’t updated them yet. Mine said 20% off but I was able to do internet and drinks for $545 total which I BELIEVE is much higher than 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion, poor word choice on my end. I bought the key for $195 ($27.85) per day, so $ 29.99 isn’t the best price. I am surprised yours went down and mine didn’t. I got the UDB for $59 per day, hoping for better discounts. Edited November 23, 2021 by Maitaivegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, NOT ALL SAILINGS are showing the sale price yet. It seems they are rolling them out slowly. So check tomorrow when the sale officially begins. Out of my 4 upcoming sailings, only one is showing the sale prices. This is why some people are posting their lower prices, but you aren't seeing them yet. Patience--check tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare chiguy67 Posted November 23, 2021 #43 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I just noticed that UDP on Allure 2/13 went from $186 to $168 so went ahead and got it, will see if it goes down any more. I did notice that a few of the excursions did go up in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. For Cruise pricing, you (or your TA) have to stay on top of it. Check back often and call for a price adjustment. For purchases (i.e. dining, internet, beverages, shore excursions, etc), you can cancel any higher prices you paid and re-purchase at the lower price. However, from what I am reading. . . the credit back can take a while to show up on your credit card.

rockmom Posted November 23, 2021 #46 Share Posted November 23, 2021 9 minutes ago, imola said: Does RC give you the lower price when it drops? Like automatically? No, you need to cancel and then repurchase it. It can take a while for the refund for the old price to get put back on your credit card, but you have to pay immediately to get the new, lower price. Exception is if you paid with OBC, that gets reinstated immediately and you can use it to repurchase. Refunds to credit cards have varied --some people get their refund back on their card in a week, for some others it has taken a month. Part of that depends on your credit card company and part of it on just how quickly Royal can process the refund. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got a lower price on the Voom surf. Check your cruise planners, folks. And if by chance the prices go lower on Friday, you can always cancel and repurchase. $5.99 on my cruises! I agree - I haven't seen this before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilash Posted November 23, 2021 #49 Share Posted November 23, 2021 for mariner of the seas 12/28 4 day bahamas - we booked from Ireland / UK. Our Deluxe Beverage package went from £64.99 to £52.99 today... small saving i suppose. it says 30% off on board which is around £80 apparently. I've heard it mentioned on here before that we tend to pay more in pounds than if on the US Website? My dad already purchased his DBP - could he call up and re-book to avail of the savings? I am guessing that reduction today will be as low as it will go now for the remainder of BF/Cyber Monday deal period.. I thought overall £200+ for 4 days wasn't bad value for 4 days considering what the DBP includes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennisCruiser62 Posted November 23, 2021 #50 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I saw The Key dropped a little, but can anyone tell me what choice departure is? Can i get off the ship as late as i want? Also, under the Key it did not list free room service and 25% off all dining packages that was previously listed with the Key. Is that no longer a part of The Key?
