Balcony Discount Question- $200 or $225 off?

[freedom1114]

I booked my cruise 13 months out, in an inside room. I know there are no price drops after final payment these days, but if I upgrade to a balcony after final payment, will I get the full $225 off (you get $225 for booking 6 months out, $200 for within 6 months now). Or would I get $200?

 

What I'm trying to ask is, do they base the 6 months on when you book the cruise or book the balcony cabin?

[Gil T. Azell]

Yes you would get the $225 off. It's based on when you made the booking. If you made the booking more than 6 months ago than you get the larger discount even if you upgrade to a balcony or above within 6 months of sailing.

Per passenger?

Per cabin...but it often shows up on the RCL invoice as being divided between the 1st 2 passengers...

Not per passenger, it's per cabin. And this is the Diamond discount.

 

We are Diamond and our balcony discount is $200 on a 7 night cruise if booked less than 6 months out, $225 more than 6 months out. I'm not sure what the Platinum discount is now, since Emerald is between Platinum and Diamond. Maybe Platinum is $75/$100 and Emerald is $100/$125?????

 

I looked for this info on the C&A site but could only find ours (Diamond) with the amounts posted. I'm sure somebody here knows what the Platinum balcony discount is. I'm probably just not looking in the right place!

Per passenger?

 

That would be nice ;)!

 

But in all seriousness, that $225 does make balconies a lot more affordable.
