Esilef Posted December 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Just got an email from Royal advising that this weekend they have a sale on their refreshment packages and excursions. Of course this is on select sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted December 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2017 And of course their communication is wrong. Received same thing, with my next cruise booking listed at bottom of email for selected cruises. Then go to the site and there are no discounts; seemingly not included.

Do they think we are all stupid, Drinks Package up by $10 on my Ovation Cruise. Last week they bumped the Chops price $10 and returned it to the original price. You are spot on Big M it's a load of hogwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The usual Royal sale. :( Almost seems to work in reverse with prices going up instead of down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staranice Posted December 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I got the same email. How do I know if my cruise has the 30 % off. I went into cruise planner and the price says $67. Would the extra 30% come off after I buy it or are they telling me the $67 is the discount price because it has been that price for a while now. I sail on Explorer of the Seas leaving Sydney 15 April. Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrYellowDuck Posted December 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Packages are discounted today versus their normal price on our next cruise. This is nothing special though - they do this about once per month for a week at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted December 16, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I purchased the refreshment package a couple of weeks ago from the special "30 % off" then it went back & just came back down. the alcoholic package remained at the $67. Now if that was suddenly 30% off the $67 then I would ask them to take my money please. It was originally $84. Royal's bean counters must be an interesting bunch as their logic makes no rhyme nor reason. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2017 They really make it hard for people to know when a 'sale' really is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted December 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just more evidence of the modern commercial emphasis on "marketing" rather than substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted December 16, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The only thing you can really do is watch the prices. When they are at a level that you are happy with then buy. Others have said that they base their drink package sales on the number that they have sold and the revenue gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not sure if the last part is true but the first part is good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're recently off Explorer and I was very disappointed at how they have reduced the number of drinks (cocktails) available. There's certainly not the choice there used to be.

internetwhiz Posted December 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 18, 2017 There are 4 non-alcoholic cocktails on the Menu. They will make you any drink you ask and leave the alcohol off. Pina colada, mango tango, mudslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked and were told we could only have what was on the Menu. This happened with the others in our party as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
