CKCruising Posted September 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I am probably interested in adding Free at Sea + to our cruise (Aug 2024). Does the price for this vary, over time, and is there a best time to add it to my reservation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reveur15 Posted September 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2023 If you are sure you want it, you should add it now ! I'm pretty sure the price will increase in the next year. You can call to add it to your reservation and not pay for it before final payment. If you add it by yourself online in your cart, you need to pay immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2023 My normal response is that there is never a good time to buy FAS+. Just keep the free offers and be happy. There is a good chance of a price increase in the next year. Book it if you want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted September 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The price doesn’t vary, but there may be a price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKCruising Posted September 15, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Thanks to all that replied. I'm used to Royal where the price of the drink packages change daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillygwm Posted September 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The earlier the better. Prices can always increase. Conversely, if they change something in the package you can always cancel. I usually spread my cruise expenses out so I don't have one big bill but otherwise there's no science to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted September 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) the best time to order FAS+ is when you have access to somebody else's credit card. Edited September 15, 2023 by UKstages 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare eileeshb Posted September 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The price does change if your web/app interface uses your local currency rather than USD, I held off on making some bookings waiting for the € to strengthen against the $ so it worked out a bit cheaper. The US$ price doesn’t change dynamically but the foreign exchange rate does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAcruising Posted September 16, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2023 As others have pointed out, the current price is not going to go down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InFullertonCA Posted September 16, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I just want to point out that if you have OBC's you wish to use, you will need to wait until you are on board. It appears you cannot use OBC's if you add it prior to boarding, only a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can purchase some of the individual upgrades (P+ beverage package, unlimited wifi), but you can't get the whole discounted bundle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the package you want now. The price isn't going down. Certainly not once you board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
