Cruise pricing

Is the rate ever different if you call than it is on the Royal website?  Thanks!

No, we have never found RCI to waver in their pricing, including working with their PVP's (or whatever they are called)......their website advertised price IS the price.  The only differency you might find is with a TA who can offer you some 'perks' that RCI isn't offering.  But then you lose 'control' over your booking if booked thru TA.

We're booked directly through Royal. We're thinking about upgrading our cabin but the rate online is still more than I want to pay.  So I was wondering if I called - would they quote exactly what I'm seeing.  I was hoping the answer would be "no".  LOL

I would expect them to quote the same price, but what the heck, why not call and check.

Yes, though rare and usually caused by a glitch on the web site.

You could always try to upsell yourself.  Call them, say you noticed they still have rooms in a higher category, say you would be willing to upgrade, but, not at that price.

 

Likely you get nowhere, but, what if?

Nothing earth shuttering but some TAs may offer some incentives.
