    This happens from time to time.  When a phone agent tells me the NextCruise OBC will be lost during a reprice i thank them and call back.  Another agent always does it without losing NextCruise OBC.  Promotional OBC can be lost during a reprice but NextCruise OBC should survive.  

    What do you think is it worth calling them up and complaining?  Do you think it would help?

    (the price of the cruise is the same whether you book on board or otherwise)

    I did that on my last cruise for a cruise in March 2023.  I got an OBC of $150. and a reduced deposit.  Not a lot but I'll take it.   The problem is that the cruise price dropped so I called RCI and repriced the cruise.  They took the OBC back so I ended up with not real benefit for booking on board or for that matter for booking a year early.   I will not waste my time doing the next cruise desk again.   

  3. OK so I am going to upgrade my room on a cruise to a JR Suite, from a balcony.  This is on the Harmony OTS.  With the JR suite I can do the Coastal Kitchen for dinner.  My question I have already purchased the UDP, Is this a waste since now I can do the Coastal Kitchen?  Should I keep it or get rid of it and instead use it on my cruise in march on the Mariner, that does not have any fancy Coastal Kitchen like places to eat?   I guess the real down and dirty is the Coastal Kitchen better then having the pay restaurants.  I could just change it to Chops + 2.   Your input please

    Thanks

  4. Is it true that suites earn double points?  So a 5 night cruise in a balcony gives 5 points x2 for the Covid boost giving a total of 10 loyalty points.  Now if it is a JR suite I get the for mentioned 10 X 2 for the suite giving my 10 loyalty points.  Is that correct?

     

    Thanks

    Are you chasing loyalty status?  $500 for 5 extra points (10 if you qre solo) might be a good trade-off if you are.

    I never thought about it but, Yes I guess I am.   I am not sure why but I am.   So let me ask this question related to that.

    After the March cruise I will be Platinum.  I am also looking to do a cruise in Oct 22.  I read that the pricing is better the higher loyalty rank you are.  Should I wait to book my Oct 22 cruise until I achieve Platinum? If I do not and I book before to get a better price would I be able to get the credit for making Platinum after I book and maybe get a OBC or something?

  6. Is it wrong or bothering at TA if I am in the "Just thinking about / Just getting prices" phase of planning a cruise to ask a TA to get you prices.  I am only 60% sure we are doing the cruise I am wanting prices for.  I hate wasting peoples time if I am not 90+% sure I am moving forward.

     

    As always Thanks

     

  7. I Thinking of booking my next cruise and am wanting some input on the JR suite vs a balcony on the Mariner OTS.  I know there is about 64sqFt of room difference. That may be a lot of room I am not so sure it is worth the $500. I don't mind spending an extra $500 if it is worth it, just not sure.   It is a 5 day cruise.  I might enjoy the UDP in stead.  Any way anyone have any thoughts on this?

     

    Thanks
