Odds of drink package sale changing?

[WrittenOnYourHeart]

I'm on Anthem our of NJ in February in a solo balcony cabin. I'd really prefer to get the deluxe beverage package so that my cruise feels "all included" - but it's constantly on the BOGO 50% off sale - which doesn't help me as a solo. What are the odds that they change it to a sale with an overall % off at some point between now and then? I get hopeful every time I get the email about "Save on extras for your cruise" thinking it might have changed, but so far no dice.

 

Barring that kind of change of sale happening, is there a way I could purchase OBC for myself so I can still kind of feel like everything is paid for? That means I'll have to do math to make sure I don't go over what I've bought for OBC, but...

The price you see in the cruise planner reflects the BOGO 50% off price. You don't get another 50 % off the second person.   When you buy it as a solo you are getting it at 25% off the posted price.

Yes, you need to call to buy OBC.

If the last four months is any indication there is a good chance you will see 30% off and a possibility you will see 35% off. Off of what is a key part of the equation.  My 35% off got me it at 70$ a day. With gratuity I am am $82.5/day all in.

 

I have seen the 30% pop up pretty regularly but the 35% only once so far. It definitely varies by ship and your specific cruise.

OP Perhaps wait to See what’s offered on the black Friday sale

And don't forget...if you buy it now and the price goes down you can call and cancel and then buy the cheaper package

You know that even though it says BOGO50% it's actually a 25% off sale.... you dont need to buy 2

What sailing are you on that you see 30/35% off ever? My Oasis sailing last week never went beyond the BOGO50%/25% in over a year, including black friday 2022

They could make it WAY less complicated to just say that.

 

Turns out it's probably now a moot point for me as I'll likely be on medication that makes it inadvisable to have more than 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks a week. So it'll be the soda package for me.

I would say Black Friday or Cyber Monday are your best bets. As stated before...book and if price falls, re book it
