Upgrade for up to 50% off email?

I just received an email from RC offering me up to 50% off to upgrade to a junior suite,it gave me a number to call, but the number was not valid. Called them directly and the guy I spoke with had no idea what it was, but gave me a number to try in the morning. Has anyone gotten this email before? ( this is for the Allure October 5th sailing). TIA.

No, but if you find out come back and let us know. I am on the same sailing and there are quite a few cabins still available. The prices are still much higher than when I booked.

Yes, i got the same e-mail for our September 21 allure sailing. I called the travel agent and the offer from royal was to move us from inside to balcony for $250. I took the deal since it was very reasonable to me.

Heck, yes! I would take that deal! :)

Thanks! Now I'm trying to talk myself out of being possibly dissapointed, because now I'm super excited :)

They are offering it for the Vision 9/20 sailing according to someone on our roll call that got the same email.

All I'm getting is the "book an oceanview for the price of an inside" emails. Nothing for any specific cruise.

The raise the price of the inside to an OV trick I bet.

Promo restricted to Majesty and Enchantment. Took a quick look and seems you are correct.

I got the email this morning for my upcoming Allure cruise - upgrade from a boardwalk cabin to a junior suite at 50% off. I haven't tried to call them. The prices are HIGH on the website for the junior suite $5,000+.

I'll try to call them and see what they say and let you know.

What # did they give you? I think it is very strange the number they gave is out of service.

Our email looks legit because it has our booking #, date of sail, and current stateroom category listed (boardwalk view stateroom w/balcony). The email says it is an exclusive offer from crown & anchor to upgrade to a Junior Suite today at 50% off.

I was reluctant to call because it is a 999 area code. The # is (999) 765-4323 and is a non-working number. I tried to call crown & anchor from the RCI website and they are closed (not sure they work on Weekends).

Anyway, it does look like a scam!!

I got the email as well for our 9-20 Vision sailing. Tried to call the 999# and it was not in service. I plan to call as soon as they open at 9:00 and see how much to upgrade. Going from an oceanview to a balcony. It is about $450 right now on line if you just take a guarantee balcony and I was already considering that jump so if this is half that much we are in!:)

Does crown & anchor open at 9:00 or are you calling the regular reservation number?

Strange we are getting different numbers , mine is a 617 number.

Crown & Anchor has been open on the weekends. The hours are a little different than weekdays, I think they open at 10 Eastern.

Thanks Bob, that will be 9:00 a.m. our time. I will try to call them. I think this email is somehow a scam. Not sure how they got our booking number (that's scary). The email says "call your travel agent and then the 999 area code number". We booked directly with RCI NOT a travel agent and the number given on the email is a non-working number.

The email looks ligit - even has our membership # my name, gold level and cruise points listed. VERY STRANGE!

Maybe it's a legitimate offer, but they messed up the phone number in the email. I too would be very concerned if my booking number had been hacked.

I think it is legit...I am calling the regular booking number and will find out. It would have to be a very complicated scam to have all this information. But I always just call the main number to discuss booked cruises anyway.

There is no 999 area code nor is there a 999 country code!

I had seen somewhere that 999 area codes are usually a scam with charges involved. I am on hold with C & A right now. I think several people must have received this email.

I'm on hold too. It looks as though they may have been hacked.

Hold time was supposed to be 8 min. been on hold 13 min. & still holding!

We're all on hold......it is not a scam they sent it. But it is the 'guarantee' upgrade that I had all ready priced yesterday. I am still going to do it. They don't know why the phone numbers were wrong.

Good yo know....still on hold.
