Sapphire Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I currently have a booking for Symphony on December 18th, (woo!) A few days ago, looking at the cruise planner things seemed to be a lot cheaper than they are now. Ex. surf and stream for 4 devices totaling $200 is now $319. Saw the same thing for Thrill Waterpark. What is the best way to go here? Will there be a sale soon that will bring that price down closer to $200 again?

EJK Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 There was a sale that ended earlier this week I believe. Check again on Black Friday - there are usually sales happening. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2021/11/08/royal-caribbeans-past-black-friday-deals. If there's something you think might sell out, advice on here is to buy when you know you want it, then cancel/rebook if it goes on sale. Have fun!

KJones Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 My cruise planner items have been alternating between (2) sets of prices for the last 3-4 months. Each pricing seems to last a couple weeks then reverts to the other. Right now they're showing the higher prices but I expect they'll go down to the lower set soon. Hoping for even lower prices during the Black Friday sale! PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooch Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Mine just went up yesterday. DBP had been $67 at 20% off and $58 at 30% off with an on board price of $84. Yesterday the on board price increased to $88 and 20% off is now $70. Maybe this is in anticipation of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale so that a higher % off results in the same old sale price. jejojoju and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure RCL like other travel companies use dynamic pricing. Many retailers increase prices prior to a big sale and then advertise the sale as a even larger saving than it was. My suggestion for the cruise planner would be if you see a price you like just buy it and keep track of the price. That way if you do see a better price you can always cancel and purchase it at the lower price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Yes I agree but our DBP for 4 for a 7 day cruise is or was in the mid$1900 range. I really did want to put that much out in case of a cancel & repurchase. That’s a big chunk of change for me. Hoping for decent Black Friday sale, even if it only goes back to the $58 plus grats. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
