False 30% Off Advertisement of Voom 2 Device Package
pjb replied to pjb's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thanks, Matt. This is for the Grandeur of the Seas Oct 19 sailing. See how your 2-device plan is about 10% cheaper than two 1-device plans, though? That's what I would expect. And yours doesn't even have the false banner claiming 30% off. :-( Thanks, again. -
False 30% Off Advertisement of Voom 2 Device Package
pjb replied to pjb's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The math comes directly from the Royal Caribbean representative after being on hold for 40 minutes, actually. They told me the 1-device plan was coming up 30% off while the 2-device plan was only coming up 20% off. They took all the 30% off banners down for a few days and have now put them back up. This is extremely misleading. It makes NO SENSE to charge MORE for a 2-device plan than it would cost to get two 1-device plans. Even two of the representatives I talked to admitted that. I'm not sure why I should have to "show that a multi-device plan should be cheaper than multiple single device plans", that is just common sense.... But if you want to get into the details - which it appears you do... given the information given to me by the representative, if $230.22 represents a 20% discount, then the regular price would be $287.78 ($31.98 a day). If they were really offering a 30% discount as they are advertising, the price would be $201.44, and $230.22 - $201.44 = $28.78. Why are they so willing to alienate a customer over 28 dollars and change? Is this really how they do business now? It's been a few years since I have sailed on Royal Caribbean, but I don't remember the company being this dismissive and crooked before. As I said before, I find this unethical, disappointing, and extremely misleading. -

Good afternoon, Has anyone else had any experience with Royal Caribbean regarding their false advertisement via a banner on the 2-Device Zoom Package claiming it is "30% OFF ONBOARD PRICES"? I have spent over an hour on the phone with them and emailed about it, and they still have the misleading banner tricking users into thinking they are actually getting 30% off the 2-device package when it is really only 20% off. The 1-device package is apparently 30% off, which is why it's cheaper than half of the 2-device package. I really expected better customer service from Royal Caribbean - which is why I made sure to book with them for this upcoming cruise. I'm so disappointed that they apparently care more about $28 than a loyal customer... Any suggestions? Thank you, Paola
