Drinks Package Question

[Minnie29]

My question is regarding booking the hot drinks package once onboard. 
It’s a 9 night voyage but I would prefer to book the package for the final 7 nights not the first two as they are port days. Is this possible?

Thank you

From the Terms and Conditions 

 

 The Beers, Wines & Spirits Option may be pre-purchased up to four days prior to boarding the vessel and is offered onboard on the first 2 days of your voyage.

Does this apply to the hot drinks package as well?

Yes, it does. Again from the terms and conditions.

 

"• The Specialty Hot Drinks Option may be pre-purchased up to 4 days prior to boarding the vessel and is offered on board on the first 2 days of your voyage. If you opt to purchase your Specialty Hot Drinks Option on day two, you pay only for the remaining nights of the voyage."

 

This means you effectively have these two viable options for purchasing the Specialty Hot Drinks Option in your scenario.

 

1) Purchase prior to your voyage for $15.75 per person per night = $141.75 per person for nine nights.

 

2) Wait until the second day of your voyage and purchase the package on board for $17.50 per person per night = $140.00 per person for eight nights.

 

It's essentially a wash. You'd end up saving $1.75 per person by deferring your purchase to the second day on board. And you could use your on board spending money that way. But you'd also be paying as you go on day one which would eat up those savings with a single drink purchased on day one.

The other thing to bear in mind if you are not travelling on your own, everyone in the cabin has to have the same package.
