deb1eric Posted December 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Is this a good sale? I priced some cruises and it looks like a sale to me but I haven't been watching prices on Royal to know if these are good or night.

travelin_nat Posted December 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Sometimes yes, sometimes not so much, at least from what I've seen. I think as in most cases, "it depends." If you like the price, go for it. If price drops before final payment, you can always get your price lowered. You may have to surrender OBC, so do all the math.

njmomof2 Posted December 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have been watching a number of cruises for a specific period of time next summer. With this new "sale", the pricing has, in 1/2 the cases, gone up. In the others, the difference is minor. No drop is over $120/pp. One is only $47 less. Given these are 7-9 day sailings, I'd expect to see more of a savings. In fact, the 9 day sailing went UP in price. Now how is that possible with a sale!?

molly361 Posted December 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It sounds like it is a good sail for those with kids in the same cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyking Posted December 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yesterday I was looking at the Oasis for March 26th, yesterday it was 2000.00 more than today also thanks to the kids sail free promo. So I booked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted December 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2016 A "good sale" is one that offers you a cruise that you want at a price you are willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SECdawg Posted December 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2016 They are using their usual funny math. Does not add up to every 3rd night free but it might save us about $300 on a 9 night. Still pondering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted December 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The "sale" didn't save us $$$ on any of my upcoming cruises. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted December 2, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Even with kids didn't show much difference. Just a 'usual' sale. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted December 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2016 For some cruises we have booked no savings, a few we saved about $50, but on three cruises we were able to save $500 each. So as others have said your mileage may vary. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerCruzin Posted December 2, 2016 #23 Share Posted December 2, 2016 If you are "saving" money....you overpaid to begin with. We booked this cruise because it was a trip we wanted to take. We knew we were paying a premium for it since it's over Easter week, plus we booked over a year after it was opened for bookings. Our savings was significant and a big surprise. Happy for you that you originally bought your cruises at rock bottom prices and have never needed to take advantage of a price drop 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeychicky Posted April 22, 2017 #24 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I just went on a cruise with my sister on Royal Caribbean with no deal and an ocean view. I am now pricing the same exact cruise for three people with this 3rd night free " deal and it is $1660 for an interior cabin when my sister and I paid $800. To me it doesn't seem like a deal at all so I am waiting until their sale ends which they just extended another three days this morning😠. And the cabins are selling out. So may not even get on this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted April 22, 2017 #25 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Most of their sales promotions are 25% off or 30% off. The value of the "Every 3rd night free" discount depends on the length of the cruise. 5 nights = 1 free night = 20% discount 6 nights = 2 free nights = 33% discount (more than usual) 7 nights = 2 free nights = 28.5% discount 9 nights = 3 free nights = 33% discount But I have noticed that the "base" price (the price that gets discounted) changes before and during the sale. Also, they always seem to have a sale, so is it really a sale? The only difference is when they have a bonus offer for a few days on top of the usual 25-30% discount, such as OBC.
