Check Your Prices - WOW Sale

[sandc4e]

WOW sale is up and is including OBC (haven't seen that in awhile).  Was able to get the OBC added to our reservation, no change in pricing for us but having some OBC helps with the drink bill.

 

Happy Friday Jr.

the price increases from what I have mine booked at pretty much offset the OBC

 

But this should surely help some others

As I remember the obc from wow does not combine with shareholders which is higher. Says up to 300 obc, but 75 is most I've seen.

OBC increases as cabin class and cruise length increases

Don't know if it's the WOW sale but prices have dropped a lot on the short Bahama sailings from Sept - Dec.  At leas the ones from PC.  I had a 3 night on the Indy at $470 solo for a balcony which I thought was pretty good.  It's now down to $338.  Booked a four night solo balcony (November)  for $416

Anyone know if someone past final payment has any options with this sale?  For me it is a difference of $100.  I'm on Mariner 10/11/21.  Thanks.

Price on mine went up $1,900 - no thanks.

So the Cruise With Confidence promotion allows for the price adjustment, you end up getting it in the form of an onboard credit, last I checked.

 

I have my TA checking on this for me for 2 cruises right now.  Here's hoping there's some additional OBC!  😄

Yes you can get OBC for the price difference.  Call whomever you booked with

I just re-priced my CP Balcony January 22 Allure cruise out of FLL and saved myself $390.  The pricing structure is different than when I booked it initially in March of this year.  I'm sailing solo, and it's pricing it as a true solo and only receiving $113 rather than the $250 C&A D+ balcony discount.  Not going to argue.

 

When I booked originally the cruise fare was $2,980 before all discounts & T&F.  The revised invoice has a cruise fare of $1,813.

 

Also, when I did a mock booking a few days ago, it was almost $400 higher than my original price.

I was going to downgrade a 4 night cruise from a JS to a balcony for $700.  Today that same balcony is $400  Big difference for 4 nights

If there's a price drop after final payment, what are my options.  Booked via TA.

I mentioned above, per Cruise With Confidence you should be able to get the difference back as onboard credit.

Can I call and by-pass my TA.

I doubt it

You can try.  A few people have said that works, others say the RCL agents will immediately tell you to speak with your travel agent for anything related.  Kinda' a hit-or-miss situation.

 

If you send it to your travel agent they should be able to get it done, even if it takes a few days.  RCL can look up the historical price and resolve it that way.  I personally don't like waiting, much like you, so I might try calling here in a bit as well to see if I can do it over the phone instead of through the TA.

Booked in late November, '20.  Would this be considered CWC.

[slanik]

I think you need to contact your travel agent.  We always book directly with the cruise lines.  I don't have the patience for the middle man.  I called on Monday and got $1015 of OBC for my August 20 cruise.

[ampurp85]

I was only able to get a deal on 1/5 cruises, all the rest went up even with the OBC offer.

[Another_Critic]

My May TA is $152 more than I paid ($77 more after $75 OBC).

 

My Sept TA is $4000 more than I paid, and that is for a lower category.  🙄

[alexgtp]

bummer, i priced it out and online says $300 difference plus $100 credit.

 

Called my TA and she states only a $100 difference and not sure if the $100 OBC is combinable with lower price.

 

I am just about ready to cancel and rebook to get the $400 discount. Ridiculous!  She said she will let me know via email later tonight, as RCCL has long wait times. double bummer.

[Ashland]

I thought the WOW OBC was for new bookings only ?

 

All my 7 RCI cruises have almost doubled in price....so no repricing for me.

I saved $149 on our 12-22-22 OA cruise.  This is the third cruise fare price reduction in the last month.  WOOHOO !!
