Leroyr55 Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Checking two of my upcoming cruises found some good savings. My odyssey January cruise had a seniors sale for deluxe beverage at $59.00 a day. Also SOS for June6th had beach club 50% off if anybody is interested. Somebody on Facebook found diamond and above also on SOS $56 a day for June 6th deluxe beverage at. Ryan79 1 Quote

smokeybandit Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I also see Giovanni's lunch for 12.99, cheaper than that pasta day sale a week or so ago. WAAAYTOOO and Pooch 1 1 Quote
asquared17 Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 jamie's and hooked had great deals for lunch too, if i recall correctly. Quote
Ryan79 Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Thanks for this!! Drink package under $60!! That’s a score Quote
Southern Waters Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Thanks for the heads up! We saved $6 each on cooler bags. Quote
Leroyr55 Posted November 8, 2024 Author Report Posted November 8, 2024 Well I’ve been trying for an hour to repurchase what I canceled and have not been successful. I RCL and they stated there are some issues with cruise planner going on. So my purchases are sitting in my cart and hopefully they’ll be there tomorrow at the lower price. PhillyLady 1 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Wow, I repriced nearly every dining package/meal that I had previously purchased. Best deals I've seen in many years. I only had 1 3 night package that is currently more than I originally paid. I must be very lucky b/c I had no website issues whatsoever...all cancellations [appear to have] went through cleanly and all re-purchases are showing as "booked". Not only did I save lots of $$ on the re-pricing, but I will get 4X Royal Caribbean Visa points ! Cactus527, 14Terry, TessFromFlorida and 8 others 9 2 Quote

Bakerette Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Thanks for the heads up about the cruise planner sale. Yesterday I have cancelled & repurchased everything that I previously purchased….2 speciality lunches & a refreshment beverage package for 2 people & I saved $70USD for my May 5th cruise on Utopia & then 1 hour ago I have purchased another speciality lunch for 2 people and for that same cruise and I still an additional saved $42USD. I saw Giovanni's lunch for $14.99pp plus gratuity, mason jar brunch for $14.99pp plus gratuity, hooked for $14.99pp plus gratuity & refreshment package for $25.99pp/pd plus gratuity. Quote
PhillyLady Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Yes, thank you, I just booked some excursions for my April RC cruise at 30% off. Still shopping! Quote
FionaMG Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I finally managed to buy Internet at 17.99. The last time it was that price was BF last year and I'd been kicking myself ever since for not getting it then. But my patience paid off. I also got a cooler bag for 21.99. That's a dollar cheaper than the one I bought last year. I'm getting it as a Christmas gift for a family member. If anyone is thinking about these bags, they are great. I love mine. Some of my other things have actually gone down too and I could save about $20 each by cancelling and rebooking. BUT, we are well inside final payment - 29 days! Doing the doc dance! - so I am not taking the risk. TessFromFlorida and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote
ScottD Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 We grabbed Chops lunch for 17.99 just to have. May or may not cancel down the line, but figured I'll jump on it for now since we had OBC that covered it. Also forgot that now I have to pay Adult price x3 instead of Adult x2 and Child x1 since the kid will be 13 by the next cruise...damn him. WAAAYTOOO, OCSC Mike and Cactus527 2 1 Quote

THEN I just went back and added the cocoa beach shuttle just because it's pretty damn cheap and probably just easier than worrying about a cab or bus. We haven't been there yet, so again-figured why not. I got the refreshment package back in July for 30% off, so that's still the same price. I had a nice chunk of OBC for this cruise, so between the Refreshment package purchased earlier, and the Chops lunch and Cocoa beach shuttle, I still haven't spent any of my own money- so that's a win for me! whitsmom, WAAAYTOOO and OCSC Mike 3 Quote

This was the purchase that I made last year that caused major billing and fake balance issues after I canceled it. Of course I purchased again last night- I learned nothing WAAAYTOOO and ScottD 2 Quote
Pooch Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Yup, I see sales for both mine & my daughter’s sailing. In the process of packing up my family to return home from our vacation so I will work on this tomorrow! I did reprice my Giovanni lunch. WAAAYTOOO and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote
JasonOasis Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I just purchased the UDP for out upcoming January cruise on Harmony but the DBP was $83 dollars which is where its been for the past month or more. I waiting for the real Black Friday Deals where at least over the past few years I've scored some really good deals on DBP for January cruises. I do appreciate the heads up. Quote

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 So I ended up with over 50 cancellation/rebookings last night ! Everything, with the exception of 1, 3 night package, was cheaper than the price at which I had previously purchased. I seem to have gotten all of the confirmations but I quit trying to track them all after a while....it was just too much. The most important thing is that everything I cancelled and repurchased is showing in my order history correctly. Beyond that I don't really care. I did have a couple of minor glitches. A couple of times the website did not seem to know my CC number (can't imagine that !!) but I found that if I did a "refresh" (F5), the problem was rectified and my CC number appeared correctly. Actually, I found that if I refreshed after I cancelled and before I repurchased, it helped. So I learned something....now just praying that the nonsense from last year doesn't re-emerge.

Thought that was happening to me because I was onboard, figured out the refresh trick after a while. I’m also praying the same nonsense doesn’t happen like last year., at least this time my sailings don’t involve 6 family members in a sailing with cancellations and reimbursements as that’s what was part of the problem the refunds were broken down per person, not the total I had purchased for in a lump sum. Royal math at its best. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

My purchases are still not reflected in my purchase history. I figured I would give it some time, but it has been hours. I do not see the charges on my card either... like you, I am praying this does not end up like last year.

letscruise Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I canceled my original Unlimited Dining package purchase and now when I attempt to re-purchase it says "Sold Out". Do you think this is a glitch or am I truly out of luck? I am so mad b/c I really want this package. I tried calling and the wait time is over 100 minutes, so I won't be doing that right now. Thoughts? WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

OCSC Mike Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Thanks for the heads up. Real life and no cruises for a while has kept me away from the boards and the cruise world but got my Mason Jar brunches taken care of now. Cactus527, WAAAYTOOO and PPPJJ-GCVAB 3 Quote
KevinJ Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 rebooked several things for my Nov-17 sailing on Odyssey. One thing I almost fell for was the soda+internet package. When booking for two it's cheaper to do them separately and book internet under one name with 2 devices. I also keep getting tricked by the pricing without gratuities, you don't see that till you go to checkout. I didn't rebook anything higher but did rebook a couple lunches that were the same. I also have started seeing cruise planner issues, it was very smooth a couple hours ago but is now getting wonky. Quote
SplashOfWater Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Thanks, I've been waiting for this sale! I cancelled and rebooked most of our lunches and added a couple more. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote
Southern Dan Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I just cancelled/rebooked our Hideaway Beach passes for our upcoming Symphony sailing in a cpl weeks and saved $38. For the Dlx Bev Pkg + Voom I’m assuming since you have to buy two packages that means both my wife and I will have one device to use, correct? Booked that for my Odyssey sailing next September and I’m also about to cancel my Dlx Bev Pkg for my Symphony sailing and grab the Voom combo. PPPJJ-GCVAB and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote
USCG Teacher Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Holy cow, $57.99 for the Deluxe Beverage Package (Diamond & Above Special) on a July cruise on Symphony?!? Literally everything I had already purchased is cheaper right now. Just cancelled and re-booked everything, saved about $650!! Thank you all so much! ScottD, WAAAYTOOO and Cactus527 2 1 Quote
KevinJ Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 @Southern Dan check the pricing carefully, You may save more if you book internet under one name with two devices. The one person creates the login and then you can both log in one device. It looks like the combo packages just give you the single device internet price. With just two people you don't save much, but we usually have three people and the internet prices gets even cheaper. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote

I just for fun checked pricing and it's a pretty damn good sale but the app and the website cruise planner are not working. Super frustrating because there are things I want to order. Why can't Royal Caribbean get their IT shit together? This happens every single decent day sale. Quote
barjpoe Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I'm having a problem: when I hit the check out tab nothing happens. Any clue as what the problem might be? thanks Quote
Ampurp85 Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I was able to hook up 2/3 Jan sailings before I hit a snag. I am running into issues with my Indy booking. Quote
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 Saved so much with this sale. I knew it was happening today and logged on at 2am!

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 8, 2024 Report Posted November 8, 2024 I think I was very fortunate to have discovered the sale late last night. I think today is going to have a lot more issues than there were last night. USCG Teacher and JustMeJoe 2 Quote
