MattandHeather Posted May 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hi All, Sorry if this question has been asked before, I did search for an answer but was not successful in my search. The family is booked for a cruise on Dec 3rd on Empress of the Seas. The Deluxe Beverage Package the other day in our Cruise Package was listed as $63.00 per person CDN. Today it is listed in our Cruise Planner as $63.00 per person which is listed as having reflexing the 20% off the package Has anyone else seen this, where the package was offered at the same price with and without the discount? Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, happens all the time. Royal has their own unique kind of math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If you want a "package", you have to pay their price. It rarely varies by more than a couple dollars. If you want it, buy it. If you see a lower price, cancel your existing package and book the lower priced one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted May 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, happens all the time. Royal has their own unique kind of math. Hate to hijack a thread but you are the expert I need advice from. We are on the Symphony TA returning to Miami Nov. 9th. We are clearing immigration or customs the day before in Port Canaveral. If we walk off early in Miami, get a uber as soon as possible, would there be trouble with a 10:30 flight from FLL Hollywood airport, need to be at the airport by 9.. The next flight out would be 5pm and that's a long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should make it if you get off the ship ASAP (around 6:00am or so), but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could be sure that all the normal post TA procedures (all crew going thru customs, Coast Guard inspection, USPH inspection) are being handled in Port Canaveral, then I'd say you've got a good chance to make that flight if you can walk off the ship by 7:30am.

Thanks. We are arriving at 5:30 from PC. I think we will do the self walk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a lower price, cancel your existing package and book the lower priced one. Keep an eye out for the price. I've seen prices between $42 and $57 USD on the same cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminated67 Posted May 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2018 On the subject of the drinks package, I got a better price and cancelled the original and reordered. How soon before RCC credit the original payment back to my CCard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattandHeather Posted May 17, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Keep an eye out for the price. I've seen prices between $42 and $57 USD on the same cruise Thanks, We will continue to keep an eye out! We were just shocked when they showed 20% off the package but the price was the same as the day before with no discount. :p We have seen in the past BOGO 50% and heard of a 30% off the packages. I guess we will wait to see what happens between now and our sailing M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks. We are arriving at 5:30 from PC. I think we will do the self walk off. Line up early...many will opt to do the same...and that line can get very long very fast. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself would not chance it, much better to book a later flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
