akcruz Posted December 8, 2015 #101 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) On last weeks Jewel sailings I was able to get the Crown & Anchor discount on the Premium Drink Package was available, although it was not widely advertised. How did you find out about it, or did you ask? Want to be prepared for my next sailing if they continue to do this. What was the discount? Was it a standard one or level dependent?

bartelbee Posted December 8, 2015 #106 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Just got off the Adventure 11/28 sailing and they offered the C&A discount for the ultimate drink package only, though you could still buy it mid-week as long as there were 4 days remaining. They also offered the punch card for $75. Both offers were on flyers in the cabin the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall it was a sliding scale percentage based on C&A levels..we will be on FOS Jan 3, so I will report back if anything is offered that week! Thanks!

39august Posted December 8, 2015 #109 Share Posted December 8, 2015 On LB today and last week. No discount on drink packages. However on day 5 last week and today, day 3, the 10 drink punch card for $67 was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted December 8, 2015 #110 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I bought a special package on my 14 night Snowbird Migration (Serenade from Quebec City), I waited until there was 4 nights left in the cruise, and lo and behold, they had a table set up outside of WJ advertising C & A discount. It was a no brainer, and I didn't have to drink more than usual to get my money's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted December 10, 2015 #111 Share Posted December 10, 2015 On LB today and last week. No discount on drink packages. However on day 5 last week and today, day 3, the 10 drink punch card for $67 was offered. Actually, it was in the Cruise Compass the evening of Day 2. I also noticed a 2/$14 offer in last night's Compass. Only in one or two bars. This is something HAL and Princess do on a daily basis. They do BOGO-for $1.

Esahuma Posted December 10, 2015 #112 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I have never bought a drinks package.But I would buy this discounted, or voucher package.:D As D+ I feel the same - we would never buy the drink packages BUT we do like a Bloody Mary in the morning and maybe a drink in the afternoon - so the drink packages are no good to us - BUT drink vouchers would work! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esahuma Posted December 10, 2015 #113 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well... I must disclaim that I actually made Diamond + on this sailing and I would actually be in favor of even deeper discounts on the drink packages for eliminating the cocktail hour. It would be much better if all those interesting people were not just huddled in small groups downing free drinks in the lounge and could be out with me all around the ship enjoying all that the sea, sail aways and the ship have to offer. It was a bit depressing right from the start when I saw the lounge was packed on deck 5 before we even went under the bridge on that amazing sail away from Bayonne. I found the lounge a major annoyance and the lines to get drinks a bit desperate. I gave up after a few days and went about enjoying the usual things I always enjoyed at that hour. We are also D+ and I disagree with you - we love to go to the DL for about 1 hour before Dinner - we enjoy meeting other people there and interacting with everyone - then we go to MTD and then we do enjoy everything about the ship - There are very few people that sit there every night for the entire 3 hours drinking....

Would not buy the Ultimate even at the D+ level but we would buy the punch cards for $75 - We like a Bloody Mary in the mornings and one year ago 2 for $14.40 INCLUDING tip - now? $24.50 for two - Bring on the punch cards - We will take 1 each! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 10, 2015 #115 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I see the 2 cocktails for $14 in the Olive or Twist lounge on LB today from 8 to midnight in today's Compass. There have been several offers last week and this for buy 4 Coors, get 5 and the cooler bag. If the 10 drinks for $67 punch card shows up early next week, we will try it as the lounges are soooo busy. We've been meeting friends in Boleros and using one or two free drinks there before dinner. Much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esahuma Posted December 11, 2015 #116 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Although we do 'swing by' the DL before dinner - we have never gone into the CL as we don't feel we 'need' the title - We love the schooner bar - 'R' bar and Boleros if there is one on board and we usually meet friends there after dinner for a night cap! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted December 11, 2015 #117 Share Posted December 11, 2015 What about Oasis? sailing in 23 days I think. Either the discount or the punch card would be awesome!!! Bring it on!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denatravels Posted December 16, 2015 #124 Share Posted December 16, 2015 10 Drink Package @ $79 inc grats. available on The Oasis today :) So day 5 after you cannot purchase a package anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 16, 2015 #125 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So day 5 after you cannot purchase a package anymore? Actually, on a 7 day cruise, day 4 is normally the last day to purchase an unlimited beverage package. However, you may see ships offer their own deals, outside the corporate guidelines.
