So apparently it's $90 plus 18% gratuity for anything up to $14.  I'm currently on the Vision and we are at CocoCay tomorrow.  Wondering if I should just buy this tomorrow when we are there.  We have 3 days left.  I do get 4 free drinks a day with Diamond but wouldn't mind getting some extras at CocoCay tomorrow plus the 2 remaining days.  Has anyone seen and done this package before?

My guess revenue is down right now on your sailing and they are trying to reach it's projected goal. That is when you see  something like this offered.

Since it seems they're re-appearing, one could always ask the Revenue manager if they will be available when you board the ship. However, I suspect they won't be able to answer that question because they won't yet know if they're going to fall short of their revenue goals.

Surprised that it is still $90. I think that was the price pre-Covid and drinks were not as expensive as they are today. 

 

I think it was close.  I seem to remember $80 plus gratuity.  Either way it's nice to see these coming back.  Always nice to save a few dollars if you were going to  purchase 10+ drinks at or above the $14 level anyway.

I think you are correct.  There are a lot of d and above plus casino folks onboard, some families but also a lot of older (then me) folks.  The bars are rarely crowded.  I think my longest wait was 5 minutes?  We were in CocoCay yesterday with the Allure.  Both our ships onboard was 430p.  We got on at 415p and were one of the last ones.  The Allure had a long line to reboard with happy party people.  The security guard told me most of the Vision folks were onboard by 130pm.  It's been a great cruise as we are in one of my favorite rooms the JS aft corner balcony and we have had a lot of fun in all 4 of our stops.  We did lose Bermuda and got port canaveral and freeport which worked out well.
