twangster 17,766 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 There are so many sales these days I can see how people get confused. 50% off second guest based on the elusive "regular" price not off the last sale price that folks likely booked when they did. I guess this means I need to reprice all my cruises - just in case. Expectations set accordingly. 1 Baked Alaska reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RBRSKI 144 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 I have voiced my frustration on the so called sales that RCCL publishes every minute of the day. It truly is for the people that have no clue which I feel bad for! Don't get me wrong, RCCL does have some great deals on cruises but it's only the ones that they are having a hard time filling. Yes, I also get they are a business trying to make money so they will prey on those who do not do their homework! 2 CoupleOfCruisers and princevaliantus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim B. 213 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 As long as they still make a hefty profit they don't have to put in deep sales and as far as I can tell they don't have issues selling cabins. They do the sales to let people think they are getting a bargain; no different than what malls and car dealerships do on a routine basis. As a consumer we are always looking for the deal, and as long as we feel we got a deal, we feel good and companies go on making us feel good with sales advertising. It's win-win for the consumer to big business dynamic. How many people go on a RC cruise even know about this site to get information? I did only because I am a researcher and have to always look for "the deal." There is a wealth of knowledge in these pages but only a select set of people will ever run across this blog to get a detailed understanding of the "inner RC." 1 Baked Alaska reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get your cruise lines straight. Not being rude at all. My response was from the Wizard of Oz, no reference to any cruise line.This post started out as a joke, if you truly followed along, you would have picked that up. I also know the difference between every cruise line that there is as I have cruised approximately 40 years.

mworkman 1,661 Report post Posted August 30, 2018 Well no dice for me on this Labor Day sale. Repriced my cruises and no savings what-so-ever. Who was I kidding, didn't expect to see it happen. Maybe the next sale... 😂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KJ1231 269 Report post Posted August 31, 2018 Tried to see if it was worth upgrading to a JS (from spacious balcony). According to MEI Casino wanted an additional $356 for a 3-nighter on Enchantment. She was going to try again today since the price difference on the site is less than $100 per person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redgrapes2 26 Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Kinda funny that they didn't know when Thanksgiving 2019 was when this came out. Have since corrected the Nov2019 excluded dates.

BeatArmy2010 21 Report post Posted September 5, 2018 I'm disappointed. A cruise I was looking at went up in price, along with airfare. My cutoff for a cheap cruise was exceeded along with more vacation days than I wanted to use...my boss hadn't approved my leave request. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baked Alaska 463 Report post Posted September 5, 2018 I'm sorry that happened. Usually, the cruise fare will be cheapest (for you) when you book it, except when the price goes down (but not usually). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
