mzlisap Posted August 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Ok I just got back from the Ovation, August 20th, but I didn’t buy the drink package so I can’t remember the current discount for Diamond Plus. I was traveling with someone who had never been to Alaska so we were off the ship when in port. Now my husband and I are going again and we have been numerous times so we will likely stay onboard except for eating some local food. So if you’ve just gotten off of a sailing and remember the current discount can you help? Edited August 24, 2021 by mzlisap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember, as D+, you already have 5 free drinks on your SeaPass each day. You would have to consider how many drinks ABOVE that you would purchase, to see whether the price of the package is "worth it" to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted August 24, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2021 In my experience, the 30 or 40 percent discount isn't any cheaper than a typical cruise planner 'sale' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted August 24, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Along with the 5 drinks loaded on your Seapass card and if you're D+ with 340 points or more you can select wine as one of your C&A loyalty rewards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to others last week on Ovation, it seems many are of the mind that a drink package no longer has the same value if D/D+/P levels = 4/5/6 drinks. I haven't done the math.

I should know better as we aren't at the 340 point mark yet.

Just sent out one as I don't want the majority of our clothes washed in hot water and then thrown in a dryer. Would rather bring my stuff home and wash it. Only sent out my work out clothes.

You would have to consider how many drinks ABOVE that you would purchase, to see whether the price of the package is "worth it" to you. To us the package is totally worth it. Remember - those 5 vouchers count against a bottle of water, a soda, a coffee - not just a drink. My husband drinks at least 2 specialty coffees a day, I drink 3 to 4 bottles of water and at least one soda a day. So buy the time we have drinks, the beverage package totally pays for itself. The nice thing about the vouchers are that they are not limited to you. So if we are with someone who doesn't have the package and they want a drink, I can use one of my vouchers to "buy" them a drink and not break any rules about "sharing" my beverage package. I will give another example - when on Adventure - my husband wanted a drink with a double shot and an espresso. Waiter said - I will use your drink package for your drink and then use 2 vouchers for your extra shot and your espresso. So it works great.

Johnkut Posted August 24, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 24, 2021 When we were diamond, we received 3 free drinks from 5-8, and since we didn't drink, we could get 3 Coke Zero's in the can at any bar. Now that we are D+ members, Is the free 5 drinks anytime of day, and do they still let you get soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to drink the coffees and fresh squeezed juice in the morning. I also drink lots of bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
