WOW sale or book onboard ?

[RCI Cruisers 004]

Quick question. Anyone know if you would save more on the WOW sale or wait till we are onboard next month for future booking? We would book a suite, more then 6 months away. Didn't want to call to ask....thanks in advance !

What level are you? If you're gold, then booking through the WOW sale will give you OBC plus the reduced deposit with the peace of mind that you're booking now to lock in your price. Booking onboard will give you OBC based on length of sailing with a $100 deposit. Here's a link to help you decide based on your situation.

I did a little research and I found that you are a Diamond Member. :) Here are your choices.............

 

When booking on board there are 2 types of bookings:

 

1. Booking a Future Cruise where you are picking a specific itinerary/sailing date. You get the reduced deposit of $100pp, which is refundable if you cancel prior to final payment. The only timeyou would not get a reduced depositis when you book a GS cabin or higher, then a full double deposit is required.

 

2. Creating a NextCruise booking is where you are "not" picking a specific sailing date. With this type of booking you also get a reduced deposit of $100pp. A booking number is assigned that only becomes active once you convert to a specific itinerary/sailing date. There is no further money due at the time of conversion until final payment. If a GS or higher cabin category is booked then a full double deposit would be required. A NextCruise does not expire. You also can get two Certificates for Family and Friends with a NextCruise booking.

 

Both types of bookings will get you an OBC and balcony discount. Platinum~Emerald~Diamond~Diamond Plus~Pinnacle Balcony Discounts as of Jan. 21, 2011

 

With the above bookings you can combine OBC from Visa Points and OBC received from a TA or as a gift from family/friends with any two benefits from RCI.

 

With the WOW sale I don't know if the deposit for a suite is doubled or if it would be reduced. BUT, you would only get the OBC. You can not combine your Diamond Balcony discount with a WOW Sale.
