Fuzzy math on drink package

[crusin'2]

How does this compute? Sailing on Oasis soon. "Regular" price of deluxe drink package is $50/day. Sale offered, buy one get one 50% off. So, my math says $50 + $25 (half off package) = $75 per day total for 2. $75 divided by 2 makes $37.50 per person per day. RCCL's fuzzy math says it's $47/person/day. ??? What??? Do they think people aren't smart enough to figure out that is not buy one get one half off?

Get ready for the "just read the bottom line total and forget the ad" posts. However, I agree with you. When they want to discount the regular price becomes $60

Forget about the fake sales, just look at the final price and if you think it's a good value, buy it. I've paid $48-$55 via cruise planner for drink package on Oasis depending on the sailing. Even at $55, it's worth it for me.

They are most likely using the daily price if you purchase it on board which is higher than the $50 you are seeing in the cruise planner.

I am on hold right now and have been for almost 30 minutes, to ask about the discounted internet package for our sailing. It doesn't make sense to me either..lol

Waiting on hold for 30 minutes to give a company your money? You've got some incredible patience.

 

Unfortunately, all they will tell you is that the price in the cruise planner is what you're going to pay. Report back if they say anything else, but I'd be shocked.

 

Good luck! [emoji3]

I gave up. I just had a simple question about the internet package had my credit card out but I just couldn't wait anymore. I will try again tomorrow .

Not "Fuzzy" math. As another poster also said sale price is based on Regular prices you'd pay after you board ship.

Try this math. Gratuity is based on the full price. 2 x 50 = 100 with 20% tip that's $120. Subtract $25 is $95 or $47.50/person

I bought one for the Oasis sailing in may at buy one and get one 1/2 off and mine is $45/day + 18%. Someone said they paid $58/day onboard and that doesn’t even compute. I’ve been watching prices since Dec and the cheapest I’ve seen was $45/day - with or without a sale. I bought it and will cancel if it goes cheaper. If the $45/day was including gratuity it would be a great price.

But the tip is 18% not 20%

 

I’m pretty good at math, like really good at math. But not RCI sale price good at math

The regular price onboard must be $60. $60 + $30 (50%) =$90 $90/2 = $45 Plus the 18% on the $45

 

 

Of course they charge a little more or less depending on the cruise. I know I am paying $42 for ours in Oct. and I have seen $48 on others.
