tzb 9 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 i just booked ours last night for oasis in april 2020 at $57/day. it had been at $65 for a while. $57 is still a bit high in my opinion, but palatable. hopefully there is another price drop on black friday or some other time before our cruise. their ___% off banners are complete fabrications and market manipulation. it was listed as being 20% off when the price was $65 as well...and initially yesterday it was still 20% off when the price had dropped to $57. it is now listed as being 30% off at $57. RC says that the “on-board pricing” is between 63 and 70. let’s just say it is 70...even discounted from the highest on-board price of $70, a 30% discount would mean it should be $49/day. they are clearly just playing games to condition the market. either way, i'd like an improvement but could live with $57 if i have to - will still be worth it for us.

Good chance of this. It should be the last big "sale" before your cruise. Good luck and happy cruising! 1 tzb reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emsff02 1,535 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 Yup, with the Odyssey “sale price” of $82, that means 102.50 per day on boats prices. 1 WAAAYTOOO reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PG Cruiser 1,669 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 I hate this "catch-me-if-you-can" type of pricing that Royal does. Why make us have to monitor these prices, than book-cancel-rebook, when they can be straightforward with their prices. I hate being manipulated this way. We here know how to navigate these price trends, but what about those new to cruising? Does Royal prey on naiveté and gullibility? 1 1 Jason12 and tzb reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
