Booking without a drinks package

[Static events]

Hi all...

 

We are looking to book a cruise from Southampton and every sailing we look at seems to have a drinks package added.

 

As we are diamond I do not see the value of booking a cruise with a drinks package especially since we don't drink that much.

 

Is there anyway to remove the drinks package therefore making the cruise cheaper?

 

:D

Not by booking through the UK.

 

Look at booking using a US travel agent.

No, you'll have to find one without the package or book in a different market, like the US, which doesn't offer them.

How annoying. :cool:

 

I will have to try that.

 

What about RCCL US website?

See if the cruise has any GTY Cabins available

 

They won't include the drinks package and will be cheaper

Thanks. I will take a look.

That will work but you'll have to provide a US address (anyone will do) to proceed through the booking.

Just be careful if not booking through UK it isn't like for like. As it is a free promotion it might still be worth having plus the is always the GTY option which tends to exclude

I'm in Australia and use a US travel agent. This is the 4th trip I've booked with her and it's been an easy prices each time.

I've been looking recently at booking via a US site and it keeps coming up hundreds of pounds more expensive. Think I'll stick with the UK site :-)

We used to book with a US agent but have found for our last few cruises the low Oz dollar has made US prices not advantageous to us. So we've just been booking onboard to get the OBC (which was a big incentive to US bookings).
