CrznTxn Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Had someone on the wife's FB group notice that the Jr Suite on Grandeur in July is less expensive than a Balcony by just under $130pp. Had a Casino certificate from an earlier cruise that gave us a "Bonus Balcony" for that month so we called in to try it out. Sure enough the Royal Agent gave us the "downgraded" Jr Suite because the customer insisted on a cabin in a lower price range. She had to check with her supervisor as she could not believe it. Wonder what intern missed that one but works for me. CrimsonCruiser, BowTieBrigade, KristiZ and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I saw something similar on our upcoming Allure booking. - balconies cheaper than ocean views and - a star class suite for the same cost a br grand suite. it's so crazy cool when that happens.

twangster Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Royal has software that sweeps the inventory to perform revenue management. It seems whatever algorithm it uses, it does so in context of one category at a time with no awareness what is happening in another category. As balcony discounts from CAS get better as you climb I often see balcony cheaper that OV or interior. Crazy but it does happen often.
