Arod1313 Posted July 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The 20% off for the premium and ultimate packages are showing up under my cruise. (I wish the select package was but for some reason isn't showing up). If I pay for it now, can it be cancelled for a refund if I change my mind before the cruise or is it non-refundable?

You can cancel for a full refund up to something like 3 or 4 days before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrBill923 Posted July 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Under my cruise - the same thing shows up, with no Select package. How do I check the price for Select on my cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love PalmTrees Posted July 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Regarding Select not part of the 20% discount sale.... Just bought the Ultimate for DH (he's so happy :D) with 20% discount. I myself really only drink wine and that makes Select a better choice for me, but it is currently not on sale. I called Customer Service and she confirmed that the Select package is not on sale for our cruise, only Ultimate and Premium. I just need to keep checking back.

Love PalmTrees Posted July 24, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yesterday Select package was available but at normal price - no 20% discount. Now today, the Select package is not even showing up as an option!! :confused: I am considering going with the Premium package anyway. Does anyone know the max price of glass of wine eligible for the Premium package? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know the max price of glass of wine eligible for the Premium package? Thanks! Either $12, $13, or $14, I've seen all of those limits. The $14 limit was for cruises out of Europe where the drink menu prices already include gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love PalmTrees Posted July 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks so much! Clarea, you are always so helpful and always have the answers. Thanks to all! I love how so many Cruise Critic members are so quick to help. :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbmga Posted August 11, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Select Pkg isn't showing up for my Feb Harmony cruise either. Premium & Ultimate are 20% off but can't buy Select. I wonder if they are doing away with it. DH was able to purchase Select (at 20% off) for Sept Oasis cruise so it seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutonrox Posted August 11, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2016 DW purchased the premium package for me for our October cruise on Freedom. After seeing this post I went back to see what was on sale. All 3 alcohol packages ARE available and on sale for that cruise. None of the non-alcoholic packages are on sale though.

absolutonrox Posted August 11, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Typically only the Premium and Ultimate packages have been on sale. That is kinda the impression I got reading the thread, which is why I went back just to see. I'm not sure why Select is not on sale (or even available on some sailings apparently) on many, but it is available on mine. I wonder if it is a ship thing or a sail date thing?

I guess that makes more sense than a ship thing. I remember a few months ago (May maybe?) reading on here that people were getting discounts on their packages. When I checked at that time for our Oct. cruise on Freedom, no discount. Now, discount. I'm glad I kept putting off buying the package until it finally went on sale :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son3cruisers Posted August 11, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Interesting.... No select package at all on our sailing. But sale on other 2 alcoholic packages. We sail March 2017. I wonder if , in fact, 2017 sailings are the ones posting no select packages, ( maybe Royal is discontinuing them) and those posting the Select package is on sale are sailing before December 2016? Anyone care to confirm their dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonltnite Posted August 29, 2016 #23 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We are on the Allure 3/12/17 sailing (Eastern Caribbean) - and they had the Premium and Ultimate beverage packages at a discount. I bought the Premium for my husband and I (we don't care about juices or premium coffee) at $46pp per day. With the 18% gratuity - that comes to $54.28pp per day. I've seen that the max price per glass included in the package seems to vary from $12 to $13. The Select package only included wines at $8 or less (and it sure seems like there's VERY few offered at that low a price). In fact, when you go to this site: http://www.******************.com/royal-caribbean-drink-prices The prices in their drink chart for wines ranges from $10 to $16 per glass- so I have to believe that the Select package allows for wines priced at $10! What's amusing, though, is if you scroll down on that page for a list of wines by price - the lowest is $8 and the highest is $16. So either the chart is wrong, or the prices for the wines listed are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
