Pooch Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I saw this posted on the RC blog. Of course I don't see it in my Cruise Planner! I looked all over the RCCL website and can find no reference to it anywhere. How do I find out about these sales, besides my obsessive checking here ? Do they send emails to people booked on an applicable cruise? Is it just dumb luck that you stumble across it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLA Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Matt mentioned in the post that "not all sailings may see the sale applicable, nor are all offers significantly cheaper than previously posted." I didn't see it in mine either. :( Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamabdw Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Unfortunately, it does just require some checking of the cruise planner. Not every sale is applicable to every sailing, and prices for things (like drink packages) vary from ship to ship and sailing to sailing. Check a few times per week (especially check during any holiday weekend) and book if you think the price is good. If the price on something drops, you can always cancel for a refund and purchase again for the lower price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's too far out, there won't be anything in your cruise planner so you will have to wait for the next sale. I have seen dining open up in the CP as early as 170 days out and entertainment open up about 150 days prior. Shore excursions open up a bit before Dining. There's not set date either. You just have to keep checking. Also, if you are looking for the sale banners, I've noticed it doesn't show up on my tablet/devices but on my laptop it does. So you might think it's not on sale but it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks everyone. I am "creatively frugal" and want every dime off I can get!! My cruise is the end of October so its probably too early for me. I just want to be prepared when/if my time comes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 For what it’s worth, I did get an email this morning about this sale for my upcoming March 31 sailing on Freedom. I only started getting emails about sales when I was inside about 4 or 5 months from sailing (earliest I remember is emails from December), I would hazard a guess that’s the soonest you could expect to start seeing emails for your own cruise.

pamw Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ok I'm with you now. I started getting them ages ago and we don't cruise until June. I never could find anything but today I have an email and this time they give excursions, dining etc and I can actually book what I want. I'm going to look at excursions!

LetsTryThisPlace Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I still have yet to get an email, checked my settings and can't figure out why I don't get them. Side note, one of the excursions I was interested appeared again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought about it until @JLMoran said something above, I looked back at my email history and I haven't gotten an email from Royal since January 16th, I was receiving e-mail religiously, 1-2 a week up to that time. What I've done in the past is go into my profile, uncheck the "send me email", save, then go back in and check the "send me email", save. I just tried it again, we will see. This shouldn't make a difference, but it has, and yes, I have checked my spam and clutter, I'm not losing it there either, they just stop.

I even called and they added my other email address to their list. They told me to call back in a few weeks if I did not get anything. I did. That was two years ago. I've already given up lol.
