Royal Caribbean Keeps Bringing the WOW... Sale!

If it's October, there must be a WOW sale coming up, and once again Royal Caribbean doesn't disappoint. On October 6 and 7, the fall, 2009 WOW sale will do its best to get you on a cruise!

For those unfamiliar with these sales, the essence is that if you book during the sale, you get a 50% reduced deposit and onboard credits up to $200/cabin. This is for new bookings only, for almost all cruises sailing from December 1 forward, and is not combinable with any other promotion, such as Crown & Anchor balcony/suite discounts or shareholder credits. While I used to be able to sneak these WOW bookings in and still get the benefits combined, unfortunately they've cracked down and catch the attempts.

However, if you're not eligible for the Crown & Anchor Platinum or Diamond discounts, and aren't a shareholder, this is a great opportunity. Prices are terrific now through 2010, even on the Oasis. Yup, I said Oasis! This is the first WOW sale which includes the Oasis, though dates between January 1 and March 31, 2010 are excluded. But there are some fabulous prices for next summer on the Oasis.

All the details, terms and conditions can be found at Royal Caribbean WOW Sale!

I will be away from my office at my National Conference during this sale. But as in past Octobers when the WOW has fallen during my conference, I will be working from the ship, by laptop and Blackberry. Best bet is to email me in advance so I can research your options with regard to pricing (which shouldn't be affected by the promotion), and cabin choices. Then I can get you booked as soon as the sale goes into effect. You can also contact my covering agents who would be happy to take care of a new booking for you until I return. Just call my voice mail at 303-690-8937 or toll-free at 888-SAIL-123 (888-724-5123) or email me to get their contact information.

With the reduced deposits, which of course are fully refundable until final payment date, and onboard credits, if you're looking at a sailing after December 1, then this is your chance! What are you waiting for? As Royal Caribbean would say, "Why Not" go for the WOW?

Time for Another Royal Caribbean WOW Sale!

It's that time again - time for the fall Royal Caribbean WOW Sale!

If you've participated in these before, you know the drill. One day only, 50% off deposits, and onboard credits ranging from $50/cabin for sailings of 3-5 nights, $100/cabin for sailings of 6-9 nights, and $200/cabin for sailings of 10+ nights! Applicable on ALL future Royal Caribbean sailings!

The usual restrictions for this sale apply - not *officially* combinable with any other type of benefit, including Crown & Anchor benefits, shareholder, Future or NEXT Cruise bookings. Applicable for new bookings only.

The sale will be on Thursday, October 2, for one day only. While I will be in Mexico diving with and photographing sea lion pups, my associates would be happy to help you! Simply call or email me as you normally would, and my voice mail or email auto-responder will give you further information.

This is a terrific offer they do, and usually one of their biggest sales of the year. Don't miss out!
