cshim Posted January 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi, Is there any difference between booking the drinks package onboard or in advance? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Love Posted January 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If you book in advance you are ready to go from the very first drink as your sea pass card will already have your package identified on your card. Not sure how it works if you purchase onboard as we have always purchased before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Usually cheaper if you purchase in advance... look for sales in your cruise planner. If you buy it now and the price in the planner goes down just cancel it and repurchase.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Many are reporting a 50% off drink package sale on specific sailings. One consideration is also where you are sailing. There are a number of European Med cruises with no non-EC stops. On these cruises you are charged an additional 21% VAT if purchased on board but don't pay it if booked in advance.

Rare keesar Posted January 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You sometimes can get it cheaper when buying in advance. Other times, no. Many people buy the Classic Package in advance and then see if they really need to upgrade to a Premium Package. If you do book on board, check to see if there are additional taxes. That is dependent on your location. We were charged an additional tax as we were within so many miles of Puerto Rico. Hard to believe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
