I'm a bit confused. Is the price of $68.12/day CAD only for one person or was it the total for two with the 2nd at 50% off? Based on the exchange rate today, $68.12 equates to $51.32/day US, which seems about right for one person. If this is for only one person, then the total would be $102.18 CAD for two people with the 50% sale, correct? Without the sale, it would be $136.24 CAD, right? 

 

What was the total for two people during and after the sale?

That's just it, the price was $68.12 before and after the BOGO sale. When the sale was on the price was still $68.12 for each person and it said the discount had already been applied to the single person price. Essentially there was no sale, and there never is. The price is always $136.24 for two guests.

So I have booked a cruise with RC and have been watching their prices closely on excursions and drink packages. Even though they keep promoting "sales" the prices are always the same. 

For example, on Black Friday and Cyber Monday,  the deluxe drink package was being promoted as buy one, get one 50% off. However, the price was exactly the same as it was the week before and every day since ($68.12/day CAD). A few days ago I was on the phone with them and the guy told me that I should buy the drink package because it was the last day at that price, but surprise surprise four days later it is still $68.12.

I know people are going to reply that as a consumer I have the choice to shop there or not, but don't you feel a little cheated and upset by this blatant false advertising? They attempt to pressure you into a purchase by saying there is a limited time at that price, but it the same price it always is and always will be. I realize that many companies and stores have inflated prices to then offer something as a sale, but when the price never moves a cent how can you say you are giving a BOGO 50% or tell someone this is the last day and it will be more expensive tomorrow?

I wish someone would call them on this BS.
