I booked and paid the final payment for the Dec 11th Allure sailing for $923 in neighborhood balcony guarantee. Wednesday Morning it was $799. I called and they adjusted the price. I applied the difference to gratuities since they were going up and they refunded the rest.  

You will get points for a free cruise if you have to pay taxes and gratuities. It's special sailings such as media sailings where you wouldn't be paying taxes and port fees where they don't offer the points.

Just logged in to see if they assigned us a room yet for our Spring break cruise next year and noticed a lot of price drops on the cruise planner. Thrill water park pass was down to $52.99. Has been hoovering around $100. It never dropped below $79 for our canceled June or August cruises. The drink packaged dropped from $71 to to $53. For our August cruise I got it for $49. so going to hold out a little. The 100 prints or 100 digital photo package is down to $134. It was $149 for our August cruise. 

Doesn't everyone like free money? Thanks RCCL!
My many years of past parochial schooling so many decades ago and my religious beliefs and faith have left me feeling guilty and ashamed to even consider such things however; I have placed those who are able to change the current situation on notice of how my keen and devilish mindset sees things.
Having six cruises cancelled this year since March I have noticed a way to make free 125% FCC money. I have brought this matter to the attention of numerous booking agents directly employed with RCCL and been advised they will notify their supervisors of this. I have even written and telephoned RCCL's tech people only to be abruptly hung up on with a half-hearted "Thank You" and to date never receiving the courtesy of a written response.  So why do I still feel guilty? Have my guilty feelings, gravitational pull on my aging body and loss of the ozone layer which I truly miss prior to venturing outside and slathering on gobs of sunscreen jaded me? Many seniors are not tech savvy or follow the CDC or CLIA. Perhaps many have not even noticed the ability to book pre-cruise items even though a cruise has been canceled.  Albeit an unscrupulous and perhaps scandalous thing to do if you have a few bucks to spare you are able load up on pre-cruise planner items and hold onto your hat while watching your FCC wallet grow fatter. For example who needs to book a few floating multiple cabanas for each individual cruiser in your party of six people? At a cost of almost $1600.00 pp the FCC money really begins to add up. Prepaid excursions, no problem. Try this, multiply by125% and pat yourself on the back; you just received a huge chunk of free money! The website allows for you to make pre-cruise purchases even though a cruise has canceled but you must be quick and book it before or as late as the same day the cruise has been cancelled.
Tell my cruise genie and butler the secret password "Free Money" when ringing my penthouse cruise suite doorbell so they will let you in. Kindly excuse me as soon as you arrive as I leave my suite to go to the ships chapel and pray for myself before heading to the casino and bars onboard. Happy future cruising!

Between my canceled cruises in June and August, I got about about $400 free money which will cover our tips. We shouldn't have any problems spending it, but worst case we go to the casino and take the 5% hit and still come out 20% ahead.
