Is there a cut off to make purchases

[Cruisegirl6]

Hello,  curious whether there isa cut off period where I cannot purchase items such as the premium drink package.  I leave in 11 days, do they cut me off from purchasing online at any time, or am I able to purchase 2-3 days before the cruise?

Cut off is 2 days prior to embarking.

.....which also is the timeline for canceling an app / planner purchase for a refund to your credit card.  After that and on board, with certain item restrictions, a canceled purchase will be issued as an OBC.  I realize this is a bit off topic but IMO is related and maybe helpful to know.

Like @leaveitallbehind warning about cancellations closer than 2 days in becoming OBC.

 

But just to be clear, you don't have to book a drink package before embarking, though you may save some 'flash sale' $ by doing so.  These can easily be purchased when onboard, and if purchased from your favorite bartender, will make him or her a happy camper since they get a nice cut of the purchase price in their paychecks.

Cut off is 48 hours prior to cruise.   At the point you reservation is locked and the final manifest is delivered to the ship.
