amille69 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 We are 300 days out from a cruise on Navigator - typically, when would be the best sales in the Cruise Planner for beverage/excursions? They seem fairly pricey now. Should I check every week? Every month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm taking that your cruise is next January. We went this past January and around September through November (Black Friday) is where we found the most discounted excursions. It can change throughout the year so I generally check weekly or whenever Royal starts the next "Deal" cycle. If you find something and you think it is a good deal, book it. "You can always cancel and re-book without penalty. For the January cruise I re-booked three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amille69 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi, our cruise is in late December. How do I know when Royal starts the "deal" cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you're getting RCL spam, check @Matt's blog (aka the main page here) as he'll always post latest and greatest sales, and just check cruise planner periodically. Also, don't be afraid to purchase something now, if the price drops you can cancel and rebook with a few clicks of the mouse. I usually do it with a victory drink in hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Recently it seems to me that the bookings that I have, that are more than 90 days in the future, are seeing very few price reductions on Cruise Planner items. Only when my cruises get within 90-100 days do the "sales" seem to benefit me. I think it will just be a waiting game if your cruise is 300 days away. You can certainly abide by the rule that we all use here - go ahead and purchase now and reprice when the price drops. The only downside to doing that is that it allows Royal to keep your money for a long time. DDaley, Baked Alaska and Ogilthorpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
