birdsinparadise525 Posted May 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Has anyone else been following the price updates on RCL drink packages? I've been checking everyday (sometimes twice/day) to monitor the Deluxe Beverage Package prices. I want to purchase and lock in my price but not at the $71/pp/pd price. There have been no changes to this, nor the Internet prices in two weeks. I have 5 cruises booked and would like to make these purchases. Any input?

birdsinparadise525 Posted May 21, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I've monitored them in the past and they changed about every 7-10 days. Of course this is a Different type of year due to COVID! Patience is definitely the name of the game this year, but that's something I'm running low on. LOL!

woneill63 Posted May 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I have three cruises booked for next year and am constantly checking drink packages pricing for all three. One of them dropped to 47 dollars a day, plus tip, last week. I bought it and it went up the next day to 54. Another of the cruises dropped from 89 to 71 per day. Which is way too much, in my opinion. I will keep waiting for a drop. I have gotten many cruise price reductions for one of the sailings, totaling 760 dollars. You may want to call and check on reductions for all your cruises often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have the sales starting on that day. Also, check this link. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Promotions/Snapshot_of_CruisePlanner_Offers.pdf Another CC'er gave me that link a few weeks ago. They update that link when the sale starts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slanik Posted May 22, 2021 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We just booked the Ovation to Alaska. The Deluxe beverage package is $57 per day. August 20 cruise date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdad59 Posted May 22, 2021 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just booked Odyssey for an 8 day in Jan '22. Currently asking $67pp/pd plus gratuity. Do the same "rules" as in the past still apply?.....Buy now, but if the price lowers you can cancel and rebuy at the lower price? $67pp/pd results in $1264 for a couple. Feels steep but it is 8 days and is early in the game. In the past I've gotten the package for as low as $39pp/pd, but usually its been $49-$52. So we'll play the watch and re-book game.

caitlynambrai Posted May 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I am also hoping Memorial Day brings some good prices! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted May 23, 2021 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I just booked the Adventure for June 26th today so I haven't been watching prices. Right now the Deluxe is sitting at $67 pp per day. Is that a sale or normal prices? Anyone know what they charge for it once on-board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what they charge for it once on-board? Not sure there's a "normal", but seems a bit high, unless that already includes the 18% grats. Prices on board vary as well and we don't know what pricing will be like after cruising resumes from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DISFANS3 Posted May 23, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 23, 2021 No more $18 sales??? Ha Ha.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickers Posted May 23, 2021 #19 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi all, what's the deal with gratuities and drinks packages, the T&Cs state: 'On certain sailings, gratuities and taxes are additional and will be applied at check-out.' It's not clear whether on this cruise they are or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
