Lindsay Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Public Service Announcement! You may want to check out the new Promotion Royal is running at the moment. I called and saved only $47.00 (but hey it's something) AND also gained $125 of On Board Credit. Was worth 10 minutes to call! If you call and save, post here how much you saved. I'm curious! P.S. Promo is until 5/6/18! Skid, Matt and HeWhoWaits 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promo is until 5/6/18! $172 to the good for 10 minutes of effort - well done. That's a little over $1000 an hour which is good money for any of us that aren't professional athletes. monctonguy and Lindsay 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 That's great news @Lindsay! Unfortunately for me, it did not work out as well. I'm still trying to decide if I should re-price it. I would lose the 30% off all and end up with BOGO50off + KSF. However, because KSF, I would not be able to apply my daughter's $150FCC anymore. And I would lose the STAR savings discount of $1000 (which I got in January but not available now). The difference would be savings of $30, which is still money but, I might just leave it as is because of the FCC. If I don't use it on this cruise, it will expire.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 OMG...What a difference a day makes! Or maybe it's my crazy persistence and not letting things rest... After reading @Lindsay's post, I was not satisfied and decided to call back again and get a few things clarified. To make a long, frustrating story short, I just saved an additional $500 compared to the $30 from yesterday!

Usually, price can only be adjusted outside of final payment (90 days). Unless you want to upgrade and give them more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooch Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don’t know how to tell if I could save more. We currently have 30% off each for 3 adults plus $200 OBC. Our room cat and one above & below are sold out so I can’t do a mock reservation. Any suggestions? Lindsay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My category has been sold out too for months and I've re-priced it several times now. Lindsay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yesterday I saved $47 and received $125 OBC; today I save an additional $82 and kept my OBC! It might be worth calling every single day until the promo ends on 5/6/18 just to see what the savings will be!!!!!! YAY!

According to my price tracking online there was no difference in price between yesterday and today but when I called I was rather surprised. Here's the plan @Lindsay, you call again tomorrow and let us know what happens. I can't call again tomorrow because I already sounded quite crazy today! I'm probably red flagged!

KSF is definitely the best sale when sailing with kids. I am so sad that next March is the last time she will be able to take advantage of that. So happy though that our sailing fell just outside of the blackout window. Doc Cherie and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striper405 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just called KSF is blacked out for my sailing date, they are offering an extra $125 OBC but they said to reprice the cruise is $300 more then my original price not worth the extra $125 OBC. When I booked originally I got $100 OBC they are offering $225 now. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaCruiseGirl1210 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Is the deal for only Non-Refundable deposits? Either way I've reached out to our TA, that would give me a $100 more in OBC (for Oct. 2019) and $50 more for my 2018 cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't tie up their phone lines as I'll need to get through! Just booked Symphony for next year---only 379 days to go--there will be a LOT of phone calls coming their way. And not just for prices. I couldn't believe that over a year out, main dining room early seating is already wait listed. Had to take My Time Dining because we definitely didn't want 8:30 dinner. This may be a good excuse to finally try some specialty restaurants. Nice problems to have though! Lovetocruise2002 and Lindsay 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
