KzooKendrick Posted October 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi All, I’ve tried googling but just can’t seem to find the answer. I’m looking to use 25,000 my cruise points to book a companion fare on the Feb 27 2025 sailing on Voyager. I know the fine print states “minimum available ocean view stateroom” - is that the completely discounted price? See attached picture for example - will we get the full $500 value for this sailing? Additionally, we’re looking to book a balcony or JS - will the $500 be taken off a higher tier room? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KzooKendrick Posted October 19, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) To clarify - is it based on the $613? Or do I need to take $613 and subtract the 30% promo discount to get what the value of the companion fare will be ($429)?

firefly333 Posted October 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Sorry no one seems to be posting that has done this. I cruise solo. Maybe @Ourusualbeachmight know but since it's a bank thing who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted October 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Wouldn't be surprised if they took the $500 off the third passenger - that is the lowest fare in the cabin. So you would get $341 for this booking. Only way to tell is to call and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KzooKendrick Posted October 24, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Okay I called and wanted to provide some closure to this thread for anyone who googles it down the road 😊 The Royal Caribbean rep confirmed that the “minimum available ocean view room” doesn’t not include guarantee (which is nice!). So here is the updated screenshot for this particular cruise. After a bit of back and fourth, he confirmed for this particular cruise my 25,000 points would be eligible for the full $500 companion fare (and was able to redeem it for me over the phone - I looked in my rewards section of BofA and the points were redeemed!). $896/adult is the full cruise fare, and then he said you subtract out all applicable discounts - he wouldn’t confirm but I assume this to mean both the $25 flash savings and the 30% off. Since kids sail free is bundled into that discount line item, my math was: $896 x 2 = $1,792 x 70% (30% off) = $1,254.40 - $25.00 = $1,229.40 divided by 2 people = $614.70 which is greater than $500 so full $500 applied! It’s worth nothing he mentioned a few times that some discounts weren’t combinable like diamond discount, balcony/suite discount (if you book higher room than ocean view), on board credit, etc (all of these are outlined in the T&Cs). Hopefully this is helpful to someone down the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
