We’re trying to coordinate a cruise with good friends with school age children (they sailed Royal for the first time this past April and loved Harmony!). They are looking at Oasis in August 2020 possibly... they would prefer to go during summer or school breaks. Been trying for some time to make it work with their school schedules.

Fairlynew Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Keep checking. Still no deal for August 2019 Harmony ($52 is as low as I've found since booking in mid-June), but March 2020 Oasis cruise sat at $57pp/pd since booking several months ago. Was at that price two hours ago. I just rechecked and got it for $18pp/pd. That's less than 2 glasses of wine per day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Muster Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 We were able to stack the package for three out of four of our 2020 cruise‘s. However we had issues trying to add it to the last one so we called. Royal Caribbean said that it was indeed a glitch and that when they get it all figured out the website will show a balance due between what we paid and what the fair value of the passage.

Marissann710 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 As of right now, several sources have conflicting information. People on facebook and twitter have received confirmation that the glitch WILL stand and others have been told that they will cancel and refund the error. However, nothing has been officially noted about the glitch so it will be interesting to see how they handle the situation. I booked it as well for my 2020 sailing but I am afraid to even get my hopes up honestly. However, in the bottom of my email confirmation it says "Beverage orders cannot be modified once a payment has been made. To change an order, you'll need to cancel it first and then make your purchases again. Bottled juice and water packages will be delivered to your stateroom on the date you have selected for delivery. Wine packages will be confirmed onboard by your dining room waiter. For Unlimited Soda packages, the Coca-Cola® soda cup will be delivered to your stateroom on the first day of your cruise vacation." So, to answer your question in a short and simple manner. Time will tell and no one knows anything! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtread Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yup, my Dad used to tell me, "when something seems too good to be true, it probably is". I may be out of a cheap drinks package, but RCL is going to have a huge PR problem on their hands. In the long run they will pay far more than I would have saved.

BunnyHutt Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Still showing as reduced price in my cruise planner. So many ways they could have stopped this after they realized what was going on (I mean, how many times have you been thrown an error message when trying to get on the site?), but yet they haven’t. I honestly don’t care if they cancel my pkg as I’m not a big drinker, but shame on RC for having this still up if they’re planning on not honoring them.

KediKatKruiser Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 While RCL ships are registered in another country, RCL itself is based in Miami and should therefore be subject to US laws. I do not see anything in the purchase terms included with the confirmation email that specifically state RCL can arbitrarily change the price you paid or cancel what you purchased when you have paid in full and did not use OBC either because of an error on its (RCL's) part or for the sheer hell of it. Any lawyers care to chime in on this discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, my fiancé and I aren't huge drinkers but we felt like this was a good deal so we booked it for our honeymoon cruise. It's a shame that they haven't shut down the site or made any announcements. Seems like they are back pedaling from confirming the price stands on multiple media accounts and deleting those comments now. It's just shady all around.

This has happened many times with Amazon and other companies. People's memories are short. The big difference, as @BunnyHutt noted, is that other companies corrected their error as soon as they found out about it.
