karena1 Posted January 1, 2016 #151 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Is anything for sure yet? I have not seen anything on Royal's website regarding the discounting on packages. That would be awesome if it really happens. Would save a ton on a week cruise if I could get 40% off for being D+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted January 1, 2016 #152 Share Posted January 1, 2016 MSC version is whole cruise, could be shared with anyone by giving a coupon and could even be brought back onboard on future sailings if any coupons were unused. It is still a fantastic development for RCI and it will hopefully spread across the fleet. Here's that MSC coming up again with a pretty good offer!!! :) I'm on the Indy for a quick 5 night next week. I'm asking right away about any discounts or punch cards. I'm all over either one if they are offered!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 1, 2016 #153 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Can the card be used for the whole of the cruise or just on select days? On Vision, the card could be used on any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted January 2, 2016 Author #154 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Can the card be used for the whole of the cruise or just on select days? It seems that the cards have been available for the last few days of most sailings. The information on the blog about Grandeur stated the same thing that I had heard onboard. RCI has stated they are allowing each of the ships to experiment with offers that work best for just their sailing and their 'demographic' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esahuma Posted January 3, 2016 #157 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) 5 day cruises might be too short? Think they will be offered on longer cruises! Edited January 3, 2016 by Esahuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted January 5, 2016 #158 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Currently sailing on The Serenade, and C&A discounts are being offered on the Drink Packages, but only up to 30% maximum for P members, 25% for D+.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raprice18 Posted January 11, 2016 #161 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Day 3. Oasis of the Seas. 1/9/16. $79 + 18% gratuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted January 11, 2016 #162 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Day 3. Oasis of the Seas. 1/9/16. $79 + 18% gratuity I paid $84, no extra gratuity, for 18 on MSC. This seems a bit steep but I guess it is a savings off of menu prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted January 15, 2016 #163 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Update: When I questioned why the figures were different from other ships, the discount was adjusted to 50% for Ps and 40% for D+ :) Currently sailing on The Serenade, and C&A discounts are being offered on the Drink Packages, but only up to 30% maximum for P members, 25% for D+.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodtime Cruizin Posted January 16, 2016 #166 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Day 3. Oasis of the Seas. 1/9/16. $79 + 18% gratuity There seems to be a lot of marketing research happening w/ regards to prices for these one day drink packages and different days they are applied. Different ships offering one day packages on different days, all with different pricing. I sense an increase in the Premium & Ultimate Drink Packages coming soon. This particular daily package appears a bit high considering the Premium & Ultimate packages are priced at $49/day plus 18% gratuity both offering unlimited drinks vs just the ten drinks mentioned above.

Gopherpharm Posted January 16, 2016 #169 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Does this card include frozen drinks, i.e. pina colada or mudslide? On our Serenade cruise in November a pina colada cost $15 [grats] It would not take many of those to equal $79. On the Vision in October, the card did include frozen drinks up to $14 I believe. I know I was able to order specialty cocktails from the pool bar and in the Schooner bar. I hope they keep this option - we definitely saved some money!

payankee Posted January 16, 2016 #170 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I wish they'd simply make drinks prices more reasonable....it's not like you're at a sporting event where you're only there for 3-4 hours, for pity's sake! I totally agree!With the $$$$$$ we have already paid to be there plus shore excursions we buy from them, I think the alcohol prices are extreme.

ChipLondon Posted January 17, 2016 #171 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I believe it was 20% for D, 25% for D+ and 30% for Ps, shown on a small notice on the Drink Package sales table outside the WJ, As previously stated the % was increased when I asked about the various amounts on different ships, As a P I got 50% and my D+ friends got 40%.:D We are getting ready to sail on Serenade in 6 weeks.
