Ampurp85 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 So I was looking at cruises to start the new year and I noticed this under my number. It says C&A bonus but not what the bonus is. Is anyone else seeing this when they try to book....or better yet knows what the bonus is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this isn't just your C&A discount on balcony + rooms and they are just calling it something different now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 @SpeedNoodles I tried it on all staterooms and it has come up for interior and OV rooms as well. It make me wonder if they are rolling out a special for C&A members. SpeedNoodles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 On Celebrity they're giving extra OBC with booking for Captains Club members. From what I saw, this will stack on top of the existing promo discounts / perks. I imagine it's the same with Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I was supposed to have received a refund from RCCL yesterday for my cancelled April 5th sailing that I cancelled on March 15th, but I did not receive it. I think this is the HOT week for refunds and RCCL is going to have to release a ton of money over the next few days...i.e. April 15th-April 21st. I commend them for offering these deals and the comp cruise certificates (I have two in my casino account right now), to try to protect their cash flow. I hope it works.

Cruise Queen 44 * Diamond Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 My husband said that if we can get our refund, I can go ahead and book at least one of the two casino cruise certificates I have on my account.

You're thinking just because RCCL layoffs and/or furloughs their employees, that means that RCCL is on the verge of filing bankruptcy??? I hope you don't run a business as this kind of thinking is the most outlandish business ethics or sense I've ever heard.

How are they shafting their customers??? Per RCCL, "You can expect to receive your refund 30 days after you submit your request." given their appropriate and applicable cancellation policy. If it takes a little bit longer than usual, I'm sure the customer can be patient as given the extra-ordinary times we are currently in, certain things will just take a bit longer.

Ampurp85 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I would like to say please do not turn this into "lets blame RCCI for being a business and quoting op-ed pieces" like every other thread. I merely wanted to know about the bonus, thankfully @Matt posted about it on the blog. I cannot for the life of me understand why people go to pro-related blogs to complain. This is something positive that a company is doing in a very unprecedented time. Ogilthorpe, whitsmom, Boniface V and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
