How to Book a Balcony Cabin from $799 Per Person on Royal Caribbean's "Allure" and "Oasis of the Seas" 7 Apr 2011, 4:00 pm
I recently drew attention to the heavy discounts on two gigantic ships that were supposedly (according to Royal Caribbean) the most popular vessels afloat: the 6,000-passenger Allure of the Seas and 6,000-passenger Oasis of the Seas. Both of them are currently sailing one-week cruises round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale every weekend.
That something is amiss with these two theme-parks-at-sea is now further confirmed by a substantial improvement in the size of those discounts from the discount cruise broker Online Vacation Center (www.onlinevacationcenter.com). Not only has the price been lowered to $799 per person on upcoming sailings of these two ships, but payment of the $799 (which used to buy you an inside cabin, without portholes) will now get you a balcony-equipped cabin (though one gazing out at inward "neighborhoods") on both ships.
Specifically, $799 per person will get you a neighborhood balcony cabin on a 7-night sailing of the eastern Caribbean aboard the Oasis of the Seas, departing round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday, April 23. You can also pay $799 per person for a 7-night sailing of the western Caribbean, departing round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday, April 16.
Similarly, $799 per person will get you a neighborhood balcony cabin on a 7-night sailing of the western Caribbean aboard the Allure of the Seas, departing round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, April 24, or a 7-night sailing of the eastern Caribbean departing round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, April 17.
To take advantage of deals on either ship -- at a price and for a cabin situation never before offered -- phone Online Vacation Center at tel. 800/329-9002. |
