Is this genuine? Can't seem to see anywhere. Also very surprised it hasn't garnered more interest haha!

I saw this ad posted on one of the social media groups, looks like a good sale for UK cruisers.

Welcome to CC. 
 

Most CC posters are from the US and there’s little discussion about non US centric issues.

It’s the suggestion that I have nothing better to do than to photoshop fake promos … lol

I’m booked on a 6 night cruise on Mariner of the seas in July 23. The “special offer” in my cruise planner today for the deluxe drinks package is buy one get 50% off the second price. However this means it’s £76.54 each which is around $89 pp. 

 

Can anyone tell me what US customers are paying? Is there likely to be a better sale price than this? Seems quite a high price per day for a “special offer”.

 

Other forums seem to indicate $62 to be a sale price, but the offer above is the lowest I’ve seen on my cruise planner so far.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I have 3 rooms booked for our family trip.

 

thanks in advance

As above; if you’ve booked via Uk agent it’s £43pppd. You have to call to get this offer; it is NOT available via the planner. 
They add it to your final invoice so you don’t even have to pay now.

Will they also honour the 30% off for D+ over the phone or only once onboard?

No that’s only off onboard prices;  cheaper to buy this deal I’d say x

Thanks for your quick reply.  I see the offer is for sailings of 7 nights or more though. Our is for 6 nights, so don’t think I’ll get the deal. Will give RC a phone to ask though. Thanks.

After waiting for over an hour to get through to the call centre, I was told we couldn’t get the offer as our cruise was only for 6 nights. I was also told as I’m in UK they won’t price match with US customers drinks package offers!! this doesn’t sit right with me.
 

He did advise to book the package at the black sales in November however as these were the best time to purchase. 
 

So at the moment our current buy one get 50% offer works out at £76.54 or $89 each per day which seems high to me. I’d be interested to find out what our US friends are paying for a 6 night cruise drinks package next July on MOS.

 

The £43pppd offer seems a great deal for 7 nights or more cruises - Get it whilst you can guys!

We emailed our TA this morning to request the deal for our Oasis trip in feb. The way ive read it, its available for all ships as long as your a UK/ROI customer. Much cheaper then current cruise planner packages.

Yes you are quite correct, but only for 7 night plus cruises. Seems a great deal to me.

Thank you for posting this.

👍

[Jon_Jen]

Thank you @little britain really appreciate you posting this. Our current planner has the package at £78 per person per day.

 

rang and held for an hour but got through to an agent who set up our package on thjs promotion for our wonder cruise next year

 

so works 100% and otherwise would have brought drink to drink

[HighlandBoy]

A big thank you to the OP for posting this. Just called up and after explaining to the agent about the new sale he checked with his supervisor and we bagged the deal. Much better that the cruise planner sale just now that was £73.53 pppd.

Sorry, I must have missed the bit where you said you were on 6n cruise. You’ll need to book another longer one! 

[rcdc48]

I’m trying to get through as we leave Sunday so don’t have much hope of either getting through or being allowed to add it as less than 3 days before sailing

[rcdc48]

I know what you mean I have to be in work at midday plus accidentally cut the call off after 40 minutes so will give up at some point and let them keep me company tomorrow whilst packing 🤣
