There was a thread about this about a month or more ago but it has been moved to expired deals since that deal expired. This is a bit different.
Summary:
- Book between August 1 - August 31, 2017.
- Sail date after Sept 1, 2017- May 15, 2018.
- 50% off 2nd passenger, 25% off 3rd and 4th
- Kids under 12 sail free on 4 days or longer. Says up to quad occupancy but applies to rooms that can fit 5 all well but you have to call in to book that. They still pay taxes and Port fees though
- Applicable to Caribbean and European Cruises
- RCCL has 2 prices, one that is cheaper if you choose non-refundable deposit or if you want to have a refundable deposit for put to 75/90 days before that price is slightly higher.
- gratuities are an extra $13.50 USD a day per person
I've used this sale 2 times in last 3 years and it is the best your are going to get if you have younger kids. My advice as I said on that last thread is to book through a good travel agent to get some more free stuff added on or at least to have someone who is knowledgeable working for you. Some may say that they have had a bad experience with travel agents not responding to them. My advice is to find another agent. I really like my agent as she is reachable almost 24/7, even while on Vacation. She works for a big company, Expedia Cruise Ship Centres so they also have a lot of pull with RCCL if something goes wrong.
I'm a recent cruise convert so if you have any questions, just ask or PM and I will try to answer. I'm already booked on a kids sail free cruise for next year but that was under the last sale which was 60% off. Honestly, the way they do the pricing it works out to be like $25 difference a person.
