RedLightVegas Posted June 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Going on a cruise over Thanksgiving. Two weeks ago the deluxe beverage package was $44/pppd I go to buy it today and it's up to $59/pppd Any chance of it going back down? Or will it go up as the date gets closer? The unlimited dining went from $179 to $199 too. Kicking myself in the butt for not booking it two weeks ago. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted June 1, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I excitedly clicked hoping it was down to $18 per day. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tOSUSteve Posted June 1, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Always a chance it will drop again, may not be down to $44. That is the lowest I have seen it in a few years. You can always purchase it & if it does go lower cancel & rebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted June 1, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I would check again around July 4th -- the sales seem to coincide with a holiday (like this last one did with Memorial Day). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 1, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Also keep checking random times as well. I anticipate all kinds of special little deals to entice bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda was going at $7.50 which in 2021 goes up to $13.50! ...Luck Edited June 2, 2020 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching the same kind of swings in my cruise planner for several cruises. Wait a bit and you will see the $44 again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner August 24 - I would actually be okay with them cancelling. I have a good amount of OBC that I can then move to another sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUKREW Posted June 2, 2020 #17 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I had booked the drink package previously and when it went down I cancelled and rebooked. Has anyone ever done that and if so... how long does it take to get the refund? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the Covid mess, it would take less than a week to get a refund, now it is any ones guess as to how long it will take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawagner Posted June 2, 2020 #19 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The Aug 29, 2020 sailing the price is still at $61, I have never seen it go down....to me that seems high for a 7 night cruise! 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most I have ever paid but been watching it since March and it has yet to go any lower. Highly doubt it will. Even my UBP for next year are insane.
