Yenskiboo Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Hi guys, first-time cruiser here Sorry if this is a silly question, but is there any way to sign up for email alerts on cruise planner sales? I had to buy The Key at $43/ day (),  and would really like to re-price it during a sale sometime… But logging-in to the Royal Caribbean website everyday to track for lower prices is kinda painful..!? If anyone can share their tips or smart ways to track cruise planner discounts, I’d be ever so grateful!! Thank youuuu in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Matt will often write an article on the blog, but honestly, they happen so frequently. Do keep checking, though, because the Key is only worth it at half that price or less. I log in every few days to check prices.  Sometimes things dip in price even when there isn't a "sale".  RCIfan1912, Cactus527 and Yenskiboo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I'm hoping that the "the Luck of the Irish" sale might happen Yenskiboo, RCIfan1912 and Linda R 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I get push notifications from the app. Yenskiboo and RCIfan1912 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Offen the sales are by the cruise and not all cruises. Like most people I sign on once a week and check prices. Depending on when you cruise. Black Friday always has great sales on drink and food packages.

andrew_amy Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 If you notice a lower price, do you cancel your prior purchase (drink package, for example) then purchase again at the lower price? RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew_amy Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thanks. Just canceled the prior packages and bought the same things now discounted deeper. What happens with the gratuities? They were not credited on the refund then charged again on the new sale - which ate up most of the savings. Sorry - newbie questions. -Andrew Credit order  New order RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 @andrew_amy Everything will get refunded, including the gratuity on food and beverages. Some items have the gratuities built in and some list them. But be careful that some sales will look like they are better, but they don't include gratuity. It's better to put items in the cart and then pre-checkout to see of you are actually saving anything. Yenskiboo, PPPJJ-GCVAB and RCIfan1912 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I didn't do anything special other than just making sure the app has notifications switched on. Mind you, since I check the cruise planner daily anyway I usually am ahead of the app and already know there's a sail on when it tells me.

Mike9204 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Im considering building a tool that does this for you. You would be able to select the package or excursion you want to monitor the price for, then if it drops we would notify you. Would people be interested in this? Just trying to feel out if it is worth building.  Benefit would be to make sure your notified even after booking one. CrimsonCruiser and SemperMom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to forget to price check daily and actually just posted about missing out on the most recent sale so having something like this would be much appreciated.
