HeWhoWaits Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Doing my weekly check to see if any Cruise Planner items are less than what we already paid and stumbled across this: A FREE excursion. Checked out and got a message that I only have complimentary items in my cart so no credit card is required. Details page has this note: "Entrance fee, complimentary beach chair, shower access, and a soft drink are included." We may or may not want to go to the beach that afternoon, but you can't beat the price! need2cruz, AshleyDillo, WAAAYTOOO and 3 others 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the original Odyssey inaugural sailing the Cruise Planner had $0 costs for the specialty restaurants which I assumed was a glitch. We still signed up for them just in case! ellcee, WAAAYTOOO and Baked Alaska 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeWhoWaits Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Another thing I found interesting is that the excursion said it is at 1:30 while booking it but it shows up in the calendar at the top of that day indicating "at your leisure." The beach is a good 30 minute drive from the port, so "at your leisure" doesn't make much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Sadly my Curacao excursions do not have Cas Abao Beach one as an option. I will keep checking though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it is showing $49 per adult and $39 per child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Apparently the cancellations are happening for those who thought they lucked in. Technically if they're giving you an OBC, I guess you did luck in! Quote Dear Guest, On February 14th, 2022, we uncovered a glitch in our Cruise Planner system where the Cas Abao Beach & Scenic Drive in Curacao displayed as available to purchase at $0 USD for your sailing. This error has now been resolved, and the tour price has been adjusted to reflect the correct pricing. As a result, we've cancelled your Cruise Planner reservation for the impacted tour. However, we're providing you with a $20 USD non-refundable Onboard Credit for the inconvenience. You can expect to see the credit reflected on your reservation in 3 business days. Please feel free to use this credit in Cruise Planner to rebook or explore other tours for your sailing. We're sorry for any confusion caused by this but appreciate your understanding. We can't wait to welcome you onboard! Sincerely, Royal Caribbean International Mark_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the line now hearing this exact info - waiting to find out if it's $20 per cabin OBC (which the rep assumed to be the case) or $20 per person who reserved the excursion.
