Deals can get withdrawn with no notice but I'd be surprised if it was only limited to new bookings. The £43 is a good price and even Black Friday 'deals' and the inflated get one half price offers don't come close to this. You can always add it and cancel it later if you discover a better offer or change your mind, you don't pay anything now and it just gets added to your balance due before the cruise. With the £/$ rate and RCI drinkflation ($14) it may be good to lock it in now.

The chat agent knowledge seems to be very variable and often wrong. I was told dud information that my teenager had to have the Refreshment because he's in a cabin with his adult brother who has the Deluxe, but this has since been corrected by (very helpful and prompt) email contact to royalcustomerserviceuk@rccl.com The reason this has to be done by chat/phone/email is that they have no way of adjusting the usual Cruise Planner purchase route without it being open to all itineraries. Separately, I wonder if the price will be increased going forward given the £/$ rate..... Offer Ts&Cs below - if one has the Deluxe the other can have Refreshment £43 per person, per day Deluxe Beverage Package, £20 per person, per day Refreshment Beverage Package (the “Offer”) is available for new and existing bookings towards the purchase of the Deluxe Drink Package or Refreshment Beverage Package. Deluxe Drinks Package prices are £43 GBP per person, per day (Including taxes and fees) and Refreshment Beverage Package prices are £20 GBP per person, per day (Including taxes and fees) unless otherwise noted and include any promotional savings. Please note the advertised price is based on the exchange rate rounded down. This Offer is only available on all sailings of 7 night and above departing on or between 1 September 2022 to 31 December 2023. Minimum legal drinking age applies, and this will depend on the departing location of the ship. All guests over the legal drinking age in the same stateroom and under the same stateroom booking number are required to purchase the same Beverage Package, or a Refreshment Beverage Package. The package must not be shared by guests. The guest agrees to not provide or share drinks with other guests; a violation of this may result in cancellation of the guest’s Drinks Package and guest will not receive a refund or credit of any kind.

It's great that this promotion has been extended for 2023 cruises so I've added it for our Anthem sailing next summer and I was able to do it through the live chat function. The only downside is that even the 13 year old in one of our cabins was required to have a Refreshment package as there was an adult taking the Deluxe. Usually we'd only have bought the soda package for him but the agent was rigid that it had to be Refreshment. He'll just have to get into mocktails!
