fr0mNJ Posted April 20, 2017 #26 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just purchased the combo (deluxe package + VOOM on 1 device) for my upcoming May Harmony cruise for $54/day. The internet alone is $14.00/day which brought the value of the drink package to $40/day. That's the price of 3 cocktails! No brainer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho_proudfoot Posted April 20, 2017 #27 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Royal do offer drinks packages as a promo, we get them all the time in the uk.But they also raise the price of the cruise to counter act the free package. Not necessarily! On our upcoming Indy cruise, we got the deluxe drinks package free, AND our fare was "buy one, get second half price". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozGurl Posted April 20, 2017 #28 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Are the gratuities included in that $44 or is it really $52 because of the 18% gratuity added later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 20, 2017 #29 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Are the gratuities included in that $44 or is it really $52 because of the 18% gratuity added later? If booked under US/Canadian rules, gratuities will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorts Posted April 20, 2017 #30 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Think i may ask here rather than start another thread on the deluxe package....Just curious if i would have an issue at breakfast ordering a fresh squeezed oj and a specialty coffee at the same time. Or even a specialty coffee and a mimosa or bloody Mary...Or will one need to be ordered at a time? I think someone says it's ok to order water with an alcoholic drink at the bars during the day....Just curious for breakfast time in the MDR or windjammer Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anne_p Posted April 20, 2017 #32 Share Posted April 20, 2017 We have booked a cruise for December on Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore. Right now the Deluxe drink package is $44/day. I want to wait until closer to the sail date before purchasing it. Do they raise the price the closer to the date of departure, or will this price be there in December? Does anyone know?

Unpredictable. Better to buy now. You can cancel and reorder if the price goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmac1 Posted May 21, 2017 #41 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If you are going to drink more than four drinks a day I would take the $44 drink package they offer now and run with it. Doubt you will get a better offer if you wait. At the average cost of $11.80 with tip for most drinks it is very easy to spend much more if you are paying as you go.

Dr.Corona Posted October 16, 2017 #42 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Are any beverage or drinks are free? Seems like when we cruised many years ago they had a free lemonade/fruit juice dispenser. Any water fountains...etc. Do you pay for the morning of embarkation in your drink plan?

Candleonwater Posted October 16, 2017 #45 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I realize this is a resurrected thread, but could someone please give me a brief synopsis on how the drink package works? DD will have just turned 21 before our next cruise, so I bought her a package. What doesn't the package cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted October 17, 2017 #49 Share Posted October 17, 2017 ... it includes the Coca-Cola souvenir cup, is this the cup that works in the Freestyle machines? Yes. The Coca-Cola souvenir cup is the one that works in the Freestyle Machines. You do not need the cup if you order at a Bar or other venue. We usually get back home with our souvenir cups still wrapped in plastic ;p dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted October 17, 2017 #50 Share Posted October 17, 2017 DD has always like to "play" with the freestyle machines, and try different flavors. Of course that may change now that she can try different flavors at the bars! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
