JLMoran Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I've been checking the availability of ship activity and CK reservations daily for my Anthem cruise in October, and also checking the price of 2-device VOOM to see if it's moving at all. Well, today it dropped from $28.98 per day to $26.58 per day. Oddly, the label in the corner of the picture still says "20% off on-board prices" just like yesterday. Snagged it while it was there, so paid $132.90 instead of $144.90. That $12 saved is a reposado Margarita earned!

Sweety Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Just checked my December cruise. I am going to get the glass bottom cruise for my grand nephew. He loves looking at fishes. Will be checking prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Just checked my old notes -- Original price for 2-device VOOM was $30.83, so the actual savings is more like 2 margaritas! June May and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for the glass-bottom boat cruises in Bermuda (the ones Royal offers, anyway) I've read more than a few reviews that say they aren't that great, and you really don't see much. Not sure if that will be the case for non-Bermuda offerings, but you may want to check TripAdivsor and see if you can find the one you're looking at.

Matt Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not seeing the banner yet, but sometimes the lower prices arrive before the pomp and circumstance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 The "20 % off" banners are generic in my experience. When ever sale events have occurred I've never seen a "26% off" banner, just the same 20% banner. At least one excursion has dropped in price for me. So has Voom on several close in cruises. Looks like a pretty decent sale event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluxe Package is back down to $42 pp/pd for me VOOM 1-device is currently $13.99/day Deluxe + VOOM combo package is $55/day -- a full $1 cheaper than buying the two on their own! Unfortunately for them, I need the 2-device VOOM and only one Deluxe package (since wife can't get it) so I'm still not buying the combined deal.

I can confirm that the glass bottom boat trip on Bermuda was just “meh”. We took the evening one. I was ok with it but would not do it again. A little coral reef action but almost no fish to speak of. The sunset was beautiful but you can see that from anywhere. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
