Royal Caribbean Price Guarantee

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s just introduced a brand new “Price Guarantee” program.   Here are the details:

From RoyalCaribbean.com

Our Price Guarantee is our committment to you. When you book with Royal Caribbean and subsequently find a lower fare advertised by us, we will honor that rate by applying an onboard credit to the reservation equal to the price difference. For reservations outside of final payment period, the onboard credit may be replaced, upon request, with a reduction to the outstanding balance or a refund as applicable.  

To be eligible, the fare must be a) available for the same ship, sailing, category and number of guests as the current booking; b) be available at the time the request for rate conversion is made; and c) a rate the current booking would be eligible to receive, if any special restrictions apply. Price protection will not be available within 72 hours of departure. Price protection will be available for most fare types with the exception of Royal Sales Event and Exciting Deals; Travel Agent, Interline or Industry Reduced Rates; Employee rate programs; and a select number of price programs and promotions for new bookings only, as specified in the price program detail. Price protection will be subject to the prevailing taxes and fees and/or fuel supplement, if applicable.
Highlights:
  • No forms to fill out
  • Book anytime and know you are protected up until 72 hours prior to departure
  • If the price drops before final payment – you will be given upgrade options, an onboard credit, or a price reduction or refund if applicable.
  • If you are inside of final payment, you will be given upgrade options or an onboard credit for the difference.

This program differs from Carnival Cruise Line’s Early Saver program in that Royal Caribbean’s Price guarantee does not involve non-refundable deposits nor do they require the guest to complete any forms to get the price protection.

Guests no longer have to worry about when to book their cruise.  They can book their cruise today with a modest deposit and know they are getting the lowest rate.  Booking early means:

  1. Selecting the best staterooms
  2. Choice of dining options
  3. Availability of Triple or Quad Staterooms to accommodate families
  4. Selecting the connecting rooms
  5. Peace of mind so you can plan other aspects of your vacation

Congratulations Royal Caribbean.  The WMPH in WMPH Vacations stands for “We Make People Happy.”  Royal Caribbean, this program makes people happy.  Thanks.
