DrewFoundLander Posted April 25, 2023 #328 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Good afternoon learned ones. I've booked the Amsterdam to Miami leg and was wondering if there is any way I too can avail of the 10% discount/$100OBC or is it too late because I've already booked and the category is sold out? Figured it can't hurt to ask those in the know. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original iPhone is an interesting comparison for a sudden and substantial drop in price. The original iPhone, when released, sold for 600 USD (which was high for a phone back then). Apple dropped the price by 200 dollars to 400 USD (33%) only two months later. The backlash was huge. Apple ended up issuing store credit to those who bought at 600 USD. (I think it was 100, but I don't remember exactly). So yes, often price drops are 'too bad, so sad', but sometimes the circumstances warrant the company to 'do better.' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rassa Posted April 25, 2023 #332 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I am only doing Dubai to Athens on Serenade and then getting on Voyager for a short cruise, so to those who know, can I get the 10% discount if I ring up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you miss likely booked non refundable you would lose your deposit or moving the reservation to another ship and sail date would cost you $100pp penalty. The OBC is not for you.

AKA as commercialism. If you really think about market pricing...many instances will come to mind. Pax won't get money back on any other RCI cruises after final payment at 90 prior either during price drops...which happens quite often. But thanks for clearing that up. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would just stay home and save those thousands of $$. 😉 I intend to deplete the nest egg...not leave it to others that did not earn it. 😄 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to get over that, this is a cruise board where people post/ask questions about cruises. Edited April 30, 2023 by Jimbo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, as other posters have answered the reduced deposit and OBC are from booking at nextcruise onboard - for an oceanview category room. Lucky to have grabbed the same room on all three mini segments and on deck 4 😀. By the way the next cruise consultant I booked with claims that balcony rooms are not all 'sold out' but are being reserved for full WC / expedition segments only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true,to sell those balcony cabins now for the full cruise they are going to have to reduce the prices you would think there is no way they could sell them as high as the early people who booked at those high prices. Not with the way prices are now for segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
