Next RC Planner Sale?

[San Diego Garrett]

Does anyone know when the next Planner Sale will be? Thanks!

[PPPJJ-GCVAB]

My guess is perhaps a Valentine’s Day one?  If not…then likely a President’s Day?

One just ended Feb 1, so it'll probably be a few weeks

‘This morning DBP for the 3/25 Wonder OTS sailing was 30% off at $61/day …… it’s the cheapest I’ve seen it ….. same price we’d get on board as our first time being Diamond Plus for that sailing.

WOW Sale - 2/9 through 2/14

Not so much WOW on this one - my next cruise is actually much higher.

Purchased an excursion for late June on Monday at "15% off." Same excursion is $3 per person higher today at "20% off." 

Royal math strikes again!

Excursion prices routinely go up and down as demand and sales trend.  

I've saved hundreds repricing excursions outside of sale events.  One day I'd check and bam one excursion has gone down 40%.  People find it and book it then the price goes up.  That's what Royal does.  They are totally into data mining and adjusting rates based on analytics.  

The concept that anything on a Royal ship has a fixed price is fundamentally flawed.  The percent off is the "percent off today".

Is it normal not to see anything on sale at all? I've been reserved for Wonder of the Seas in September for the past few months, and nothing has been on sale since booking, despite all the emails Royal Caribbean is sending. Don't know if being switched from Allure to Wonder would have any effect on that or not.

Demand and sales didn't change enough for a beach excursion between Monday and today for "15% off" to be $39.99 (full price ~$47.00) and "20% off" to be $42.99 (full price ~$54.00). That's a 15% increase in the ever-fluctuating base price for an excursion that will never be "sold out."

I was able to save 6 dollars on one of our excursions. The others either were the same price or went up.

It can change daily, just like cruise fares.  Seriously there are blink and you missed it moments daily.

I landed the $44 deal for my Wonder 7 day in Dec. I’m a very happy camper

[San Diego Garrett]

Yes, the $44 on Navigator over Thanksgiving has me spoiled as well. Hoping it pops up again before my 3/11 cruise.

Prices do change…higher, lower, according to different sales.  My advice is book when you see a price you like…because you can always call and get a lower price anytime up until 48 hours before sailing.  Lol my family laughs at me because once I have a cruise booked it becomes a ritual for me to check the pricing pretty much daily!  And I will say I have saved quite a bit!  Not that I am a frequent cruiser either…although that is my ultimate goal!!!

Prices on our October Oasis trip are starting to go down slightly - this is the first time i've seen some Cruise Planner prices go below the "floor" i've seen since booking (green is lowest price seen):
