robbykapnj Posted December 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi, The beverage package for my cruise had been on sale for $48 and is now $54. $54 seems a little high. Has anyone seen the beverage package go higher than $54 online prior to the cruise? How much does the beverage package cost onboard - is it likely to be more than $54 or is there still any advantage to buying it now at the $54 rate? Thank you very much.

Saw a recent sale price on the Anthem for $41 per day. Keep watching for a better sale price. If you do book a beverage package, and then see it offered for a lower price, you can cancel it and then book a new package (at the lower price).

geomancer Posted December 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2017 On my recent NCL cruise, it was $89 pppd [emoji58] That's because it's one of the options you can pick "for free" if you book anything other than a guarantee (what they call "Let's Sail" rate). I say "for free" because you're still on the hook for the 18% gratuities which is based off that very high $89/pppd cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayneb236 Posted December 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bought mine when it showed 41 per day. with the 18% added it comes to 48.38 per day. I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingNole Posted December 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Typical price for Oasis and Allure is $55 unless they have a sale for your sailing date (doesn't happen for all of them). Paid $55 when purchasing on-board on Allure in 2013 and paid $55 in advance on Oasis this coming Sunday (no sale offered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyDragon Posted December 12, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 12, 2017 For future reference, you can always buy packages on the planner and cancel later if the price drops or if you change your mind about the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted December 12, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 12, 2017 In July on Allure, the package price was $58 plus 18% per day. If you book at the $55 per day price and it goes down again, you can cancel and purchase again. I have to say though, I have seen the price go down and that's only for a certain period of time and when it goes back up, it doesn't go down again for that cruise. I booked mine for January for $43 plus tips and haven't seen it go any lower. So far, my price hasn't gone up and maybe this cruise it won't go back up like it did for the July cruise.

As you were told on your thread three weeks ago, you are on a holiday sailing, prices are not going to go down. You missed out on a price then because you didn't book it as had been recommended in threads prior and you have now missed out on the $48 rate that you said had been available for weeks. If you really want a beverage package, book it before it goes up again. On a holiday sailing, you will not see a bargain available on the ship. If it does happen to be lower on the ship, cancel it and repurchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted December 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm booked on Symphony departing 2017-07-12 and the package is $47.85 pppd right now. Yup that was the price I saw on Black Friday and I bought it then, $389.75pp when you add in tax for 7n. I was just indicating the highest price I had seen as the OP asked how high it can go on board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNole Posted December 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If you knew it was on sale at $48, why didn't you buy it? A simple search of these forums will tell you that's a good price. Some sailing dates have no sales, whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
