Voyager free drinks package added after we already booked

[Rencruzr]

Hi,

 

We have already booked for Voyager of the seas South Pacific cruise 18th November and had a $200 credit to our tab included.

 

But now in advertising the cruise they are including a $1200 premium drinks package. Anyone think there's any chance of getting this package as well or only for new bookings?

Did you see that direct on the RCI site?

I guess it brings up the subject in a broader sense of promos introduced after you have already booked......... I have heard of people getting money back when a cruise they have booked goes on sale afterwards

I think it was the Sostice's deals I saw the included premium drinks package....... its no wonder most of their summer cruises have sold out if that is included:D

Apparently on the Hawaii-Sydney leg the Solstice increased the price of the drinks package from $49 to $65. A lot of people are complaining on Facebook because they had to pay the extra $16.

I recently book with Royal 30% & OBC $200 and when I rang to pay the deposit (which I had to tell them was only 50%) I wasn't aware the deal had increased to $300. By the time I discovered the increased OBC deal a few days later the cabin price had gone up. It wasn't only about the money (which in AUD is quite a bit X 2 cabins) but the sales & service care factor in not informing me of the change at the time.

 

Also, I think ships charging in US dollars will have to continue to offer things like drinks packages to remain competitive. The onboard expenses on USD ships are ridiculous for Australian cruisers.
