Traveler Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 My spouse decided yesterday that she do not want to wait for our next cruise at August and we should check if we can book another cruise before. Since its April and I contribute enough to RCL revenues last year I suppose to have a free cruise from club Royal (the annual club royal period is between April 2019 to April 2020). I Called club royal , they checked and said that yes , I should have this annual free cruise but its not in the system yet, they said they got a notice that everyone should be in the system by April 8 (I called on April 11) and I should call again in few days after I will get an email. Now we all know that I have better chance to win the 1 M $ lottery than getting offer email from club royal , so I guess I will just try again in few days, hoping that the cruise I am aiming for (Oasis at June) Anyone got any email regarding the annual "free" cruise (you should get if you qualified for at least prime in the casino program) ?

It is a good option if I did not tried to book a cruise for June 2019 which mean I will need to pay everything now , If it will not be available I might just do it to a cruise that I already booked as you suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I have not heard of a 90 day requirement. The only “rules” that I am aware of is that it cannot be on a “holiday” sailing (never defined as far as I know) and it must be no more than 8 days. If there is a 90 day rule, it is something new.

I believe/hope that as always with RCL and even more with the Casino program its a matter of getting the right representative, the information they have is very limited/inconstant . Well if I will fail I will try try again. Sweety and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to reprice a cruise that the final payment is due soon. The representative told me that. Like we always say ask again and again until someone comes up with the answer I want.

Traveler Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi , Well did not got an email but on the offer site I saw today that the annual offer became available @Sweety you should also checked. So I called and I have some bad news and good news , The good news , the 90 roles dose not exist I guess as I could book June 2019 cruise , the bad news that the upgrade discount might have changed. I have a free balcony and I tried to get a Junior suite or ocean view , for Junior suite it was + 2000 $ and for ocean view + 1000 $ which mean if I deduct the cabin cost almost 0 discount , if I am not deducting its around 60% discount which is nice. Maybe they change it now that they reduce from the upgrade room only the stated value, which is 750 $ for inside and 1000$ for balcony. Decided to upgrade only to a boardwalk balcony from the Park view I had (+30 $ to get Johnny rocket meal and two Soda package ) now at least I secured it and I have to decide if I want to upgrade to the JS or not Sweety 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APM Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Asking for some help. I got a nice surprise I think..looked on clubroyaleoffers.com and my annual cruise benefit code was 19TIER1. Does anyone know if that is Prime, SIgnature or Masters? Spent 25 minutes on hold this AM with club royale and never got to speak with anyone.

That should not be an issue , as long as the room they find you can have a third person , not sure how they will price it but it always good to ask.

You have to pay the taxes for the kids and any upgrade fees if room upgrade is needed. We upgraded the complimentary inside to Oceanview Balcony and total came out to $1127 for 4 of us on March 8th Harmony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APM Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 The rumor is they have reduced the discounts on upgrades above junior suite cabins. Over the weekend, before new levels were announced, i had to pay $2k for a grand suite upgrade from a comp junior suite.

We always get an outside balcony and never had a suite yet. We do however, have a Spa Mini Suite booked for November on NCL and that might change my mine about a suite being worth that much more.

MarieonRCBLOG Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have never used this - and just found out I have a whole bunch of offers on the site. Can I use all of them? There are 5 or six cruises expiring at different dates. Can someone walk me through the process? Are the expiry dates for the offer alone, or do they also include the sail by date restriction?

Sushitex Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 If you are not receiving offers by email or regular mail, it’s best to call Club Royale to ask about each particular offer. My husband made Prime in early July and started receiving email offers the third week of August. He has been getting mostly the weekly jackpot offers, with a few other offers thrown in. He hasn’t received any snail mail offers yet. You can ask the reps to email you the offer - we had to do that last week when dh received an offer, but no email. Usually there’s a lag of several hours between the time that the offers are posted on the offers page and they are emailed to him, but he never received it, so he finally just called to request that offer. From what we’ve been told by the CR reps, if there’s a trade-in value listed, you must apply it to a cruise that sails by the last expiration date listed on the offer. So I would look at the list of sailings offered, and find the last date listed. You can book this non-qualifying cruise when you are on the phone with CR. If there’s a cruise listed ( either free or a discounted one ) on the offer you can either book it on the phone or redeem it using the offers page. We have always called because we always have at least one question for the rep about the offer. I am not sure how many offers can be used - my guess, is as many that haven’t expired yet. I believe that you can apply only 1 CR offer to a specific cruise, unless your partner/ spouse is also a CR member. I understand that the second person can use their offer to upgrade a stateroom for that same cruise. Be aware that I read there are call centers in Oregon, Jamaica, and Guatemala (?) - some other country in Central or South America, anyway. We have mostly spoken with knowledgeable reps, but there were a couple that were either new or just unsure about our questions or requests. One of the numbers listed on their offers is 1-866-578-3667. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
