CAS Balcony discount

[MISSGJ]

Hi all,

 

Does the CAS Balcony discount increase with tier? The reason I ask as I have just completed a cruise that moved me to Emerald however the points have not been credited yet and I am still showing Platinum. I booked a cruise for 2022 today and wonder if the system still classed me as Platinum for the discount and if that matters. 
Warm wishes.

It can take a while for your points to post. A call to a CSR might be in order to establish your current tier. Here a list of the tiers and discounts:

Thank you for this great info. I’ll give them a call when my status changes.

The weird thing is I can never get the U.K. website to price up with a CAS discount even after I enter my number. I always have to call.

Good info.   Thanks.   The discounts still make me laugh though.   If there is any other sale going, the CAS discount is reduced.   I don't think RCL understand the concept of "loyalty" and getting something more for it.  🙂

Agree

Question - I have a B2B booked in December. Our first cruise will make us platinum. Could I have my TA call when we are on the first cruise to get the $100 balcony discount applied to our account (I am assuming in OBC since it would be so close)?

If there's a LA (loyalty ambassador) onboard go ask them to do it...You'll get a quicker adjustment (answer if that's possible) that way I believe.

Thanks! Would you suggest to talk to them on the first cruise or the second (since we technically don’t become platinum until the moment the first leg ends)?

I thought I read recently that in order to apply a "stepped up" CAS balcony discount, the booking has to be repriced.  Am I remembering correctly?

 

I will be in the same situation, but moving from D to D+, so only a $25 difference.

Talk to them towards the end of the first leg and see what options you have available.

But there's no harm in checking this once onboard...you never know.
