On home page of my cruise planner it said "Up to 40% off Beverage Packages" but when I price out DBV it's the BOGO offer. I'll probably buy it to be safe since it seems prices are continually increasing. Those are the same prices I was seeing on August 15. From my point of view, this "sale" is just rolling back the price increase. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valen9 Posted August 30, 2023 #55 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I don't think I can drink 6 drinks in a day. Though doing the math makes me feel better about buying the 2 or 3 drinks per day I *would* like to drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, the Icon price was grossly inflated, at $92pppd. It's down to $86, and right at my upper limit. Might have to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price range I’m content to live with my diamond drinks and pay cash for the balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscec2012 Posted August 31, 2023 #59 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Was about to purchase the DBP for our allure cruise coming up in October from Galveston. Am I correct in thinking the package is not active the first day or atleast later the first night when you’re out to sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be limited brands while in port be cause of Texas tax laws but you can get anything you wAnt if you aren’t fussy about brands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but from what I understand, due to Texas liquor tax laws, selections can be limited until you enter international waters. It does not affect whether the DBP is active or not. The limitations in selections affect everyone, not just packages. We will find out how limited in 11 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappySailer88 Posted August 31, 2023 #63 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Is the DPB the same for all cruises ? Or does it vary from cruise to cruise? Also have you seen where it was inflated the first day you get the code to purchase it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LdnJon Posted September 1, 2023 #65 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I booked via the app - the price seemed to jump around quite a lot. I managed to get it for £308 for a week (£44 per day). You can reserve via the app, keep checking and then cancel and rebook if the price gets cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted September 1, 2023 #68 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I've done that on my last few cruises but the most recent I went back to the DBP. It was just me and three grand kids so I was able to buy it for just me since DW wasn't coming and I used my diamond drinks for treats for the two girls. Besides that, they mostly drank water.. The boy got the RP. We have another family cruise coming up in Dec but this time it will be DW, the GK's and their parents so a total of 7 of us. I'll have to evaluate how to get best value.

Carnival had so many people waiting to purchase the 2nd day to save one days worth of paying for the pkg who didnt want to pay a full day they changed to start day 2. Carnival cruisers are brain washed now who don't remember it wasnt always like that they think its texas. As if texas cares if you use a drink package. I read carnival cruisers all the time blithely saying texas doesnt allow packages. Carnival just doesnt want to do what rcl does with using texas liquor while in texas waters. I did see some brand of beer available only in texas waters though someone posted to drink up, cant get it later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewcrew Posted September 3, 2023 #70 Share Posted September 3, 2023 We will be sailing on the Allure out of Port Canaveral this winter. It’s a 3 day so we were not planning on getting the DBP because it seems ridiculous for us. I was looking at the refreshment package though because i love fancy tea, coffee drinks and my husband likes shakes. When I went to add that to my cart today, it didn’t require me to buy it for both. Is that because it is not the deluxe beverage package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other packages do not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinman Posted September 3, 2023 #73 Share Posted September 3, 2023 We choose to buy the drink package for the convenience and variety even tho we know not breaking even. If we see a drink that sounds good but then don’t like it just get something else. And don’t have to constantly pull out the sea pass card, wait to get it back, sign etc. We cruise about once a year so just factor it into overall cost of the vacation. But it’s just personal choice.

How do you show you have the drink package then? Don't you still have to use your sign and sail card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinman Posted September 4, 2023 #75 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Yes but they don’t take it and bring back anything to sign just show. Plus the servers and bartenders get to know you have it and don’t ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
