Rare 20165 Posted February 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2018 i noticed that there is a sale on the beverage package offerings, buy one get one 50% off. It says my price is $47 which sounds good, but would it be cheaper if i would have booked both adults in the same room? Right not we have 2 rooms, one adult, one child in each so if i was to put the two adults in the same room, would the deluxe package be less than $47 with that offer? I think we can put the kids in one room and the adults in the other because they are adjoining rooms. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted February 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The $47 reflects the 50% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 20165 Posted February 3, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The $47 reflects the 50% off. Hmm, my math is a bit rusty, but last week the price was $55 pre sale so that would make the following assumption. Not a huge price difference, but fuzzy math none the less... Adults in same cabin Full Price 50% off Total 7 day $55.00 $27.50 $577.50 Adults in different cabins 50% off 50% off Total $47.00 $47.00 $658.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the bottom line cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotfeathers Posted February 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Was considering it for my next cruise. But I just don't think I would ever drink $577 worth of drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 20165 Posted February 3, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Was considering it for my next cruise. But I just don't think I would ever drink $577 worth of drinks. Normally, i would tend to agree, but it also covers non alcoholic beverages. ie bottled water, which we will drink a lot of. So a couple drinks, couple bottle waters and we get there pretty quick. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suesnake2002 Posted February 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2018 At $12 for an alcoholic drink, you would have to have 6.8 drinks a day to break even. But like other poster states it includes much more. Namely i can go thru alot of bottled water. I personally like the convenience of not having a bill at the end Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalit77 Posted February 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I was also looking at this for our upcoming cruise. When I did a false purchase it showed 25% off both passengers on the BOGO 50% which is the same as 50% off one so it was $315 per passenger. Then they added $113.40 as a service charge to get a total of $743.40 for the both of us. Does anyone believe they might go lower then this if purchase before cruise or should we wait till we get onboard. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the convenience of not having a bill at the end At normal price, but at $47, its about 4 drinks per day so pretty good deal.

If it drops more before your cruise just cancel and rebook at the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea. I never thought about cancelling if the price goes lower. Does the refund hit our account right away, so I can rebook right away at the lower price. I do that all the time with car rentals, but I don't fork out any money ahead of time. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay with OBC, the refund appears immediately. If you pay with credit card, the refund could take 5-10 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have $100 OBC. This is our 5th RCCL cruise and have never done the drink package before. We are looking into it for this cruise since there will be 3 sea days and a day on their private island. In your experience have you ever seen RCCL to have a better offer then BOGO 50%? Not sure what to do, Should I purchase now or should I wait? Our cruise is the beginning of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ignore whatever fake sale name or fake percentage off you see and just go by the bottom line price. I'd purchase now and if you see a better price, cancel and reorder.

Annoying that they are so false about the pricing. I believe $60 is the daily price for one if purchases on board. If advertising online then the starting point should be the online price.

2thesea Posted February 3, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 3, 2018 We are on a 9 day on the Anthem - WOW - Deluxe drink package total for 2 is $955! Issue is I only want 1 package and RCCL said I can buy 1 deluxe package but the other adult in the cabin must buy the refresh drink package, which he does not want. He's a water drinker period. Not liking the "new" rules at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashiepooh Posted February 3, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Where are you seeing the BOGO 50% off? I just went to our booking and it’s regular price. How is it billed with 3 people in a cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 20165 Posted February 4, 2018 Author #22 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Where are you seeing the BOGO 50% off? I just went to our booking and it’s regular price. How is it billed with 3 people in a cabin? It is on the internet page to sign up for shore excursions, merchandise, drink packages, etc. My guess is it isnt across all cruises, but i could be very wrong about that. Our cruise is on oasis aug 12 this year. Thanks everyone for the reply's on this. I have since read quite a few other posts about the drink packages, and although it may or may not be a huge cost savings in the end, it will sure be nice not to have to worry about our bar tab throughout the cruise and get the big surprise on the last day... And give us a chance to try some other drinks that we may not have ordered if we were paying by the glass. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it billed with 3 people in a cabin? They were having this sale when I booked my single drink package. It discounted me 25% even though I only bought one package.

1stcruiser1 Posted February 4, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Keep checking the prices, I originally booked for 41.00 per day. It is now 39.00 per day, plus grat. I called and rebooked at the lower price.Not that much difference, but a small savings. We are 1 month out, I never thought it would go lower.

luv1cruise Posted February 5, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is the sale on the beverage package just for your particular sailing? Were you notified by email? I sail in Nov but want to keep my eyes open for sales on the beverage packages, shore excursions, etc. :) I have never sailed with RCL before. Thanks!
