Dolphinseas143 Posted January 11, 2019 Author #26 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thank you so much for all of your advice. I called our agent and she said I could get the Alcohol package but my husband would have to get the Refreshment package. Hubbs is ok with that and we shall see how it goes. I really hope the sale stays a little longer so i can pay for it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to buy him the beverage package that included specialty coffee etc. if I wanted the alcoholic package. He ended up really appreciating being able to get sf red bull and a few milkshakes, but otherwise would have been very happy with just the soda package. Does anyone think the upgrade onboard tactic would work if neither party had any package? I think I bought my alcoholic package at $44 or $48/night, the lowest this board says it goes. It was so much more expensive on board. I'm wondering if the price per night combined may still be lower than the on board price for just one. .. ? The $600ish cost was still a shock, but if I wanted to drink as much as I would have at an all inclusive, our usual vacay, it was still a better deal. I def got my money's worth 😉 we never have any package for other people in the room. Just the hubby had the alcohol one. i didnt have a soda package or anything. on any of the ships we have sailed. and all have been the same. never charged the other person or made the other person have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailcon Posted January 12, 2019 #29 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I am on Anthem 23 Feb saling . I just try to book the drink pkg and the refreshment pkg for DW. The RCCL rep told me that my TA will have to do this. I was unpleasantly surprised but the sale for our cruise goes thru 1-16-2019. I thought I would let others know that if you have a TA booking all things must go thru them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your travel agent does not have to book beverage packages. You should be able to use either Royal's website or call customer service to book your beverage package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked through a travel agent as well and called RC to purchase one deluxe and one refreshment. The rep even sold me the deluxe voom combo package which saved me $5 a day for wifi. I was going to purchase it separately anyway so the call paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailcon Posted January 13, 2019 #33 Share Posted January 13, 2019 What number did you call? Maybe I called the wrong number since they initially wanted me to book another cruise. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted January 14, 2019 #37 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have also booked drink packages directly through RCCL when my booking was through a TA. IIRC, me TA told me that I needed to book them, either with the Cruise Planner or by calling. She could not access my Cruise Planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I called up to deal with this, it was easy. I did want and booked the Refreshment package, so I said that I cannot drink alcohol, the rep asked, "For medical reasons?" I said, "Yes." And that was it 🙂 Called yesterday and was given the option of one deluxe and one refreshment. My wife never has gotten a package before and hate to have to buy one when not needed. When I log into the Cruise Planner now, I see the option of cancelling the refreshment package without my deluxe package being cancelled. Anyone have experience with this scenario?
