cruizingal73 Posted November 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Curious what the general thought is of a "good deal" on the Deluxe Beverage Plan - last year we paid VERY little for it on the Independence (purchased ON Black Friday), but right now it's just buy one get one 50% off - BLACK FRIDAY deal. Which is $77.99 a day - I'm wondering if actual Black Friday will be a better deal? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a value judgement and drinking pattern. If you will drink more than 5-6 alcoholic drinks every day, get the package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we want the package 🍹 - I am just trying to figure out what a "good price" is these days. Last year we got it for $177PP/$59 per day with taxes/grat - which was really low compared to today's pricing! It's $77.99 per day now without taxes/grat so I'm trying to figure out if it's worthwhile waiting till black friday - or if cruisers think that's a fairly good deal for RCCL right now. TIA!

PhillyFan33579 Posted November 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Only you can determine what’s a good deal for you. Having said that, in the past I was happy if I purchased the deluxe drink package in the high 50s to low 60s. Now I am happy if I can get the package in the low 70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea! So how does that work if price goes lower... will I be able to cancel and rebuy it right away? Also, does the money for the refund apply to the new purchase at the lower price, or am I waiting for the refund for a few days? I'm just curious how it works.

You have to wait for the refund - if bought with OBC, the refund is immediate, if on a credit card, a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only saves a bit of time with the refund, but doable. The downside is that if you change your mind but put a bunch of OBC in your account then you have to worry about getting it back somehow on the cruise, or even worse, if you cancel the sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
