sweet angel Posted February 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Does RCI offer a discount for rebooking onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted February 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yes it gives onboard credit to be used on the new cruise. I believ $200 for 7 day, less for shorter and more for longer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet angel Posted February 7, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 7, 2005 So they give you just an onboard credit? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but Disney gives 10% AND a shipboard credit. Although, since Disney is so much more expensive, RCI still comes out cheaper! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missybirchfield Posted February 16, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2005 We were on RCCL in November and were in a grand suite and we booked another one while on the ship, another grand suite, they gave us $100.00 shipboard credit. But if you are a member of their crown and anchor society, you can get a coupon for dollars off. Plus we were turning into Platinum members so we got another $100.00 off.

tinsel57 Posted February 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Booking on board may or may not save you money. There are many factors involved. The only way to know if you are really saving money is to do your homework. In general, booking very early gives you early bird discounts on most cruises and you have choice pick of the cabin in your category, not to mention a nice long pay off period! So if you were on board and puchased a cruise a year or more in advance, the combo of lower pricing and an onboard credit should be a good savings. If you book a cruise with a near departure date, you might not fare so well. I know several people who mistakenly wait to purchase a cruise until they were sailing and by waiting cabin prices on their new cruise had escalated so that it was no savings at all. Plus they lost choice cabins! Additionally, if you have a TA who is affiliated with certain companies that puchase group cabins, you can take advantage of the group pricing without have to be form your own group and it usually saves more than the discount given on board. This is a very large advantage to having a good TA. I hope I was able to clearly explain this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
