Rare desibee Posted July 19 #1 Share Posted July 19 Is there a way to make Royal stop calling you to "finish your booking" when you're just trying to price out different cruises? If I wanted to actually purchase the cruise I'd enter my card info and press the damn button, Royal! Don't call me, I'll call you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted July 19 #3 Share Posted July 19 Block their number on your phone until you purchase the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekap Posted July 19 #4 Share Posted July 19 I search often on their site and have only had them call me once. Strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a mock booking on NCL like 3 years ago and they call way more often. I had to eventually block the number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted July 19 #6 Share Posted July 19 Go to your profile and see what you have listed as contact information. I have not listed my phone number or email. RCI can track me through their website, however. I booked my cruise a couple of weeks ago, with an independent TA, after pricing out the cruise on RCI's website. Now whenever I go onto the site, I get a reminder to finish my booking. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdriver787 Posted July 19 #7 Share Posted July 19 Put on your best foreign accent and say “Thank you for calling Microsoft customer services today……How may I help you?” Then no matter what they say, just list a pre-prepared menu of service plans you can offer them at a special “one day only” discount! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted July 19 #8 Share Posted July 19 Sugarloaf had this right: Don't call us, We'll call you... For a little more spice. Well, listen, kid, you paid for the call You ain't bad but we've heard it all before And it sounds like John, Paul and George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetdriver787 Posted July 19 #10 Share Posted July 19 ….though on reflection, I would probably let todays events die down a little before employing that strategy? 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLMB Posted July 19 #11 Share Posted July 19 I believe there is a way. Each time you do a mock booking to get a price, etc., be sure to "clear" the mock booking and then start over with another one. I'm not sure if this will help you, but it has stopped the website, at least, from asking me to finish a booking. I have never received a phone call. I guess they don't think I'm worthy enough, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I price 5-7 days a week on their site and even held cabins often, never have they called for that. And they have my cell number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted July 19 #14 Share Posted July 19 (edited) I've never had RCL call me. NCL calls me about once a month. I have been on one cruise with them, back at the end or 2022, and have nothing booked with them currently. Edited July 19 by Tree_skier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Royal's occupancy rates are off the charts but I have no idea how other cruise lines are doing... Is NCL sailing at 100+ capacity as well. My suspicion is no...

PhillyFan33579 Posted July 20 #20 Share Posted July 20 I do mock bookings ALL the time and have never had anyone from RCI call me. For what it’s worth, I have gotten e-mails related to cruises I researched online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted July 20 #23 Share Posted July 20 I have never had either Royal or Celebrity contact me. The other day I went on Carnival’s site to look at the Mardi Gras new TA (was bored) to look at the itinerary. Within ten minutes of clicking off of the site they called me. I also receive two casino offers weekly from them and we haven’t cruised with Carnival in over twenty years. NCL hasn’t called me in about five years.

zebra36 Posted July 20 #24 Share Posted July 20 Frequently check pricing but have never had a call just message on their booking site asking if I want to complete the booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the web page at the top I go to Find A Cruise. It shows all available cruises, but I choose particular ships or destinations, number of days, etc. When results show, directly under the results is a "clear all" tab. I don't know how to screen shot it to show you, but I'm sure you'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
