redhead621 Posted February 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just an FYI for those that are not aware.........if you wait to buy your Beverage Package on the ship, they offer a 30% discount to D+ members. I was not aware of this and purchased a package for my husband before we sailed. When I got onboard I saw the discount offer. I went to Guest Relations and was told that they would review my request and get back to me. I got a call the next day telling me that they would not be able to give me the discount. I called C & A today, explained my dilemma, was transferred to Post Cruise and they took care of it for me. I'll be looking for a credit of $96 on my credit card. It pays to dig deeper.

Daghis Posted February 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Do you remember whether the Crown & Anchor discounts applied to all beverage packages (including the soda package), or only certain ones? I'm in the evaluation process for whether to get the Premium package on my upcoming sailing. I'm likely to get at least the soda package in any case (I like the Freestyle machines), so I'm curious about how the difference might work out to get a rough idea of what the alcohol part of the package would cost.

link99 Posted February 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Diamond here. Is this a new thing? Is it only offered on Adventure? Is it offered on 3 day cruises or does it have to be a longer Cruise. Thanks in advance if anyone knows. Edited February 9, 2016 by link99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinCruise Posted February 9, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Interesting. I'm hoping for a suite discount on beverage packages. Thanks for sharing! Edited February 9, 2016 by AustinCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fleetwide, some ships are experimenting, and even on the same ship it's not offered every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted February 9, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I've read of similar offers on Serenade, but only if purchasing the Ultimate package. We've purchased ours in advance too, so it will be an interesting conversation if a discount is being offered once we board on the 15th Feb.

Firefighterhoop Posted February 9, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This is changing ship to ship. On Navigator in November/December they gave 50percent off to Pinnacle, 40percent to Diamond Plus, and 30 Percent to Diamond. It was for the Ultimate Drink Package only. On the Independence short cruises I was on in early Jan they did not offer this. On Allure which I was on a few weeks ago, they did not offer this.

gw2fll Posted February 9, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This really has me perplexed on what to do. We will be on the 26 February sailing of Serenade. (We are Diamond.) We always pre-purchase the soda package and then when we get onboard determine whether we will upgrade to the Premium Package. Given the number of sea days, we will probably upgrade, but do we upgrade to the Package or cross our fingers and hope there is a drink card in the offering later in the cruise that might be more economical? Should I cancel the soda package and book it on ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhead621 Posted February 9, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I would call Crown & Anchor and ask, what discounts are offered for each package. I was told that if I had read the fine print on the web site I would have seen that the discount was available. I have been trying to find the "fine print" on the site but I can't find it anywhere.

KarinaGW Posted February 10, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 10, 2016 On Liberty's repo in November they had the tiered discount on all the alcoholic packages...not sure about the non-. On my current ship, it was the regular price...I had waited to buy til I got on board just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
