hazy123 Posted June 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have been trying to pre purchase the drinks package for ages online but it wouldn't let me ' add to cart'. I had forgotten all about it, getting ready to cruise on Monday and now it says I can't buy it as only 4 days until we cruise. Oh well. I am sure I read that we can buy it prior to boarding at Southampton. Anyone done this and where? Is there a desk? I've read there are big queues on board to buy. Thank you!

barneymag Posted June 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Hi Hazy We sailed with Celebrity from the same terminal last October and they had tables set up in the terminal before you boarded - we upgraded from classic to premium and they put stickers on our cruise card and walked onto the ship Not 100% if Royal Caribbean do the same in the terminal but if not after you board the ship there will be tables set up all over where you can buy drink packages etc - Either way it won't be an issue as Royal will be more than happy to help you part with more money ;) We are on Anthem in September and have the select package included but will be upgrading to premium either in the terminal or on the ship as we board Edited June 25, 2015 by barneymag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky0000547 Posted June 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You can buy your drinks package once you are onboard. If you pre-purchased, you would have paid in Pound Sterling with a debit/credit card in advance. If you are purchasing onboard, it will be charged to your onboard account in US Dollars. If you have onboard credit you can use that towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazy123 Posted June 25, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks folks. I am sure I read about a desk at the terminal and that makes sense to grab folk while they are waiting. I know I would be paying in pounds online and dollars at the ship and to be honest this did put me off initially as the online price never seemed to reflect exchange rate improvements!?! Anyway, that's not a decision I have to make now. No OBC, no free drinks for us, the penalties for booking mega early . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, the online price did reflect on the drop of the exchange rate between May and June. The replenish package that I was looking at went up by £3.

gingernm Posted June 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi, There will be both desks within the terminal to purchase drinks package and also numerous locations onboard to purchase at. Both will charge in $ Regards Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie21 Posted June 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We added onboard credit before we sailed at a great rate of £60 to $100 by calling royal then bought the drinks packages onboard which worked out cheaper than purchasing in sterling through the website before going.
