shdixon Posted December 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hello everyone, I have never purchased a drink package before and am still considering it prior to my cruise next month. How does it work? Is there a sticker that goes on the card and they dont charge me or is the acct automatically credited each time they swipe it for any drink? Thanks a million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a million There is a sticker on your SeaPass card, and your online account is also marked for having a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted December 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2016 There is a sticker on your card. Also they will swipe your card with every drink you order - your photo will come up when they swipe your card. That way someone can't just peel a sticker off.

Attention being called for handing the served drink to another is embarrassing. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr3939 Posted December 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Drinks will show on your account as $0.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Drinks will show on your account as $0.00. Drink package covers only drinks or wine up to 12 dollars a glass, which is almost all drinks except some scotch over 12 years old, wine we normally order is 14 or 15 a glass so we get a bill for the extra 2 or 3 dollars above the 12 dollars, love this package had it on my last 4 cruises well worth it for me.

On Oasis last month it covered up to $13/glass, which covered some of the lower-end (yet still tasty) ones in Vintages. This was not the case on Freedom in May or Allure a year ago. Of course, drink packages are more expensive than they were 6+ months ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelin_nat Posted December 8, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 8, 2016 If you pre-pay for the package they actually print it on the card - at least for the soda package. Never purchased an alcohol package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that since I got it as a surprise gift for my SIL! Can't wait to see his face when he gets his card!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBTN Posted December 9, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Could someone share the recent cost of the drink package? Just curious about that. They seem to have moved to a dynamic pricing model - price will depend on which ship (Oasis & Quantum classes are more expensive than others, for example), time of year (summer/spring break more expensive than winter), etc. You'll just have to log in to the cruise planner to find out.
