The Royal Caribbean Australian website currently has a 40% off birthday sale on at the moment. Some pretty good deals to be had. I cancelled our booking and rebooked the same cabin for $600 less. This is on top of the $500 I saved by rebooking a couple off weeks ago. When the cruise launched a GS was $5600 NZD and now it can be purchased for $4500 NZD. I think this is the best price we will see.
The website has also been updated to a new design but I am not sure whether I prefer it or not. It probably is better (it couldn’t have got much worse) but it will just take a little while to get used to.
We are planning Caribbean out of FLL late Sept 2018 on Oasis class for 3 pax can balcony. Heard there is a BOGO 100% promo often in October although this often does not include the third person. From history could anyone advise when the best discount and on board credit offer is likely to come up

Thank you to all those who have responded. Agree there is always a promo of some type going. The BOGO discounts, deposits and on board credits vary and we are just trying to get a consensus on which is likely to be the best deal or month when the best promos are likely to be offered. We prefer to use a travel agent which can limit the ability to cancel and rebook once a deposit has been paid. The other issue for NZ and AU residents is that RCI now makes pre paid gratuities mandatory. This often explains price differences from the USA market where they are not included in the quoted price. We have a booking under the current BOGO 40% promo with no OBC but would like to see a BOGO 50% and decent OBC - perhaps Sept 2018 7 day Caribbean dates are selling well.
