gottagettothesea Posted September 29, 2016 #26 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So I am emerald and I do receive the emails, so mine states that I would get the 20% off new drink packages if I book before I set sail. That being said, when I log into my account and try to purchase a drink package, no discount is offered... When I click the "more info" link in the email, it takes me to a brochure about the packages which I'm sure everyone is getting. Frustrating, irritating, RCCL IT at it again. :confused: Anyone else having this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3o Posted September 29, 2016 #27 Share Posted September 29, 2016 What would be their incentive to do that? None I guess but if they kick Diamonds out of the lounge and make change at same time..... of any cocktail in the lounge having the standard restrictions and a more liberal version for those using vouchers at the bar, bet it would cut down complaints. Maybe doing it sooner than later would depopulated the DL such that no need to kick D out of DL (just a rumor I realize ). Maybe allow mixed drinks that aren't labor intensive.

ksuds Posted September 29, 2016 #28 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I received the email also. We confirmed with several people that are sailing on ships now that they are giving 30-40% discount based on status. We also called the C&A desk (I know, scary) and they confirmed that they are aware of it, but can't credit us on any purchased packages. We would have to cancel and buy onboard to get our 40% off.

Cel_cruise Posted September 29, 2016 #29 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I received the email also.

Wow - so people on board are really getting those amounts off? What is their C&A status? I pre purchased at 20% off for our April sale. If the prices stay the same I might cancel when my cruise gets closer and repurchase on board so I can use my OBC!! If the % off is greater than 20% that would be an even bigger bonus...we are of course lowly gold level still...so I am not expecting much but would love the prepurchase price to be available on board!

What ship? ships? I have already purchased the drink package for our upcoming Harmony cruise with the 20% off online but as Diamond + member I would be willing to cancel to get the 30 or 40% off.

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted September 29, 2016 #31 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Depends on the price on board...if they haven't raised it I'm in at 40% off. Makes it reasonable since we don't drink that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted September 29, 2016 #32 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Since the beverage package has changed since we last sailed in May does anyone know what the price on board is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismo Posted September 29, 2016 #33 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Is the discount 30% for Diamond and 40% for Diamond Plus? I believe I received the email and deleted it with out fully reading it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek82 Posted October 1, 2016 Author #34 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks everyone for their replies. It would be interesting if anyone that is sailing soon can confirm (maybe a picture) what ships are doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDA1125 Posted October 1, 2016 #35 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I am only gold and I get the newsletter but not every month. Maybe they come out quarterly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 1, 2016 #36 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks everyone for their replies. It would be interesting if anyone that is sailing soon can confirm (maybe a picture) what ships are doing this. No C&A based drink package discounts on Explorer last week.

regg1216 Posted October 1, 2016 #37 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just called C&A and they are not aware of any discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL Posted October 1, 2016 #38 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Just of the phone with C&A csr, she stated 30-40% discount ONLY for bottled wine. She stated I was the second person that referenced the confusing email this morning! Previous poster stated no discounts were available. Sounds as if the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. I'm in with the Deluxe Package for $44.00/day plus gratuity which I consider a pretty good deal.

CP3o Posted October 2, 2016 #39 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm in with the Deluxe Package for $44.00/day plus gratuity which I consider a pretty good deal. It would be nice if they gave Diamond and above the ability to buy it ON the ship for the same 44/day discounted advanced purchase price. That would be a perk that wouldn't break the bank for RCCL. Then it could be purchased with OBC and could purchase a discounted package for the last 4 days of cruise instead of length of cruise, so a perk for the Diamonds. The 20% off sort of accounts for the 3 drinks Diamonds were due anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
