yet another drink package question

[CaribCruiser54]

When we sailed Indy over New Year's they were selling pkgs at a table on embarkation deck, just outside Boleros and inside on the Promenade. Couple of minutes and you're set .

Enjoy, Independence is a great ship!

A 500ml bottle of water is $2. A 12oz can of soda is around $2.50.

It is quite clear from all the posts here that RCI's strategy of raising individual drink prices to encourage more people to buy the packages is working.

I don't quite understand 'why' RCI would want more people on them but they sure are pushing them onboard.

 

If you know you will drink enough to ensure the package is good value, you would be foolish not to buy one.

 

Unfortunately, it is the casual drinker of two to three drinks per day that loses out.

Fortunately, we reach diamond this month.

My guess is that the beverage packages have been extremely profitable.

This must be the case, but I have seen people on them drink way more alcohol than the average drinker. And waste a lot more too.

It makes me wonder 'how' it can be profitable.

We once had a hotel director tell us it's not possible to lose money on the packages. He said a cocktail costs them less than $0.50.
