None of our sailings are having sales right now.

Still at $52/day on Symphony. $66/day for the Voom/DX

Not on mine either. Mine is still 222 days out, so not really surprising.

[Indyopie]

Thanks for the heads up!  We leave March 30 on Symphony, just checked and still $56.

Are 2019 prices up across the board? I paid $45/day and $52/day with VOOM surf and stream on Oasis in November of last year. I purchased the cruise in February and that same deal was advertised every other week for at least 6 months in advance.

Yes officially prices are up for drink packages in 2019.

Bummer. We have been planning our next trip and compared to what we have paid the past few years, Cruise fares are up about 20% as well.

We purchased for $67 AUD less our credit we got for $39 AUD each

its worth checking the prices consistently as can change weekly due to the USD

Keep watching it. Ours went down to $39 the week before our cruise.

I wish ours would go down.

Well I think Royal Caribbean blew a fuse with the constant price changes for the drink package. Yesterday after reading this thread I checked my planner. The deluxe drink package was  $52 with a 20% discount off of on board prices. The refreshment package was $26 don't remember the % off. Today the deluxe drink package is $49 with no % discount banner off of on board prices and the refreshment package is $20 with 10% off of on board prices. 

How can this be? Even if they used the$26 price of the refreshment package from yesterday 10% off would make it $23.40.

Is the new on board price of the deluxe $49 now since they aren't advertising a sale?  This is just mind boggling.

 

Riddle me this Batman.  When is a sale not a sale?

 

Answer: When it's a Royal Caribbean sale.  

I think I will have a tee shirt made up with this and wear it on board.

Not sure when you are sailing but our Symphony sailing in Sept is now at $49.00 was $52.00 This morning. 

[jrod1229]

Awesome.. you just saved me (and wife) $80.  I hadn't thought it'd get any cheaper from the $49 we originally got it at.  There should be a sticky thread of "Best prices seen" for the various items so we know what good is.

 

Again, thank you!

Because you don't understand RCI math, where %off is meaningless and the only thing that matters is the bottom line price.

It’s not math. They use a something like a roulette wheel. Instead of red an black and a number it a $ amount and a percent

Looks like RC hired someone who used to work at Macys given their pricing.

I know this won't help a lot of people due to timing but they usually do a black friday sale.

Just keep checking couple times a week...that is all i did...struck it lucky yesterday at 44.00...

Didn’t Macy’s have to pay a firm for that?

 

Our deluxe drink package on Symphony in June is $56 (no banner today, yesterday, it was 20% off, but still $56).

At least Macy's gives you a fake original price. The on board price is a mystery unless you are on your sailing. In which case it's too late to preorder.

Today I am finding all of our drink packages on sale.

[mattb31]

Back down to $49/$59 on Symphony for me.

One of the cruises is still pretty high so I didn't buy but the other ones are a decent price.

Just checked my Symphony sailing in September. Drink package is down to $52 and HALF off a second package. The refreshment package is also down to $20 from $26. Good sale.
