nomad098 Posted September 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2017 May be worth a look there are some good deals with drinks package included I had a look at the two cruises I am interested in, booking in the UK for August. Symphony £1400 more expensive than yesterday. Adventurer £1350 more expensive than yesterday. About £1000 for my family of 5 for drinks packages so not such a good deal for me:( YMMV Booking in the US Adventurer £1000 cheaper than UK with $575 OBC non-refundable deposit similar to UK Symphony £500 cheaper than UK with $725 OBC non-refundable deposit similar to UK So definitely a case of Your Mileage May Vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orla56 Posted September 5, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Ours is up £586 for 7 day Med Symphony.No RCI for us at that price. It has gone up £140 since I looked this morning. Based on the last promo of 30% off with the 25% discount it should only have been slightly more. RCI must think we can't count.

wales4ever Posted September 5, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Total con! Don't fall for it. The "free" drinks have simply been added on to last weeks price.... The same as NCL now offering a drinks package for everyone, but upped their prices accordingly, so you are paying for your drinks upfront, not matter how little you drink.

Canary Cruiser Posted September 5, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yes it looks like nearly all the prices have been increased to allow for the drinks packages one or two are decent deals but you really have to hunt for them. Typical RCI. Think we will book MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelMadBrits Posted September 5, 2017 #23 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Quick question guys I just did a dummy booking for inside cabin and it says promotion applied BOGO does that mean I'm not gettting the drinks packages? I too did wonder that! It isn't very clear. We are looking at 2 cruises for next year, one late in the Med which states "BOGO' offer - assuming the drinks included then that wasn't bad. The other for Harmony late next year which has gone up quite a bit. The dummy booking states 'Promo E, BOGO'. I"m not sure what Promo E is for. Can anyone tell me if you get the deals when you book on board? We are on NOS next month (the drinks deal ends 6th November and we are on before then) and whilst I appreciate prices fluctuate so no guarantee what they will be, I was wondering if RCI honour the deals and it may be worth waiting until we are on board. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
