Ogilthorpe Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Last weekend I loaded the Royal web page to shop for cruises, and the page that loaded had a "new." Prefix and offered 30% off and free airfare. I refreshed and it was back to normal. Could this have been a hint of the Black Friday deal? ... or a standard Royal IT glitch?

smokeybandit Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Could that be a country-specific deal not offered to US passengers? I've found myself on a different version of the website before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCIfan1912 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 No way that Internet 60% off could be real. I'll be floored if that's the case. Did they jack up the prices today for this sale? WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they jack up the prices today for this sale? Might be indicative of how cheap it costs to provide Internet via Starlink. Royal might be able to turn a tidy profit at $10/day. But why charge $10/day when people are willingly paying $20-$30/day for access? RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like its some kind of vote between the 2 options. 60% like the internet option, 40% like the shore excursions option.

billdauterive Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Definitely some kind of dynamic voting. The percentages are now different. They must be just going off of email clicks. Everywhere I click just takes me to the cruise planner for that item. I don't see any other way to "vote" or "like" RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floski Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 That's such BS - they know that 90% of readers are going to see "60% off" and jump on the meager sales. Otherwise, if it were such a good deal, 100% of readers would it. DoomSlayer, RCIfan1912 and KJ777 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
