ilikeplanes Posted January 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hi I am sailing on the Mariner of the Seas this Friday and have a question about the Royal Replenish package. I am on a 7 night cruise. So if I buy before departure does that mean I am buying it for 7 days? Boarding day through to the day before we return? Can I buy it on boarding day when I get on, for it to start the next day? As I doubt I would drink much coffee or juice in the afternoon of boarding day anyways. Thanks.

alora7 Posted January 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The package goes into effect as soon as you buy it. If you want to wait until Day 2 you can buy it on the morning of Day 2 at any bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought drinks packages in the past and bought the RR for my March sailing in March! Yes, if you pre-buy the package, you pay for how many nights your cruise is. The package begins at the time you purchase it so, no, you cannot buy it when you board and have it start the next day. Minimum days for packages are (usually) at least 4 (full 4 days at the end of your cruise, not the beginning). Sometimes a ship will offer a "deal" on some packages at some point on the ship but not always. Sound confusing?:rolleyes: Cheers!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeplanes Posted January 27, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for the replies. So do they charge a day for the day that you return to dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for the replies. So do they charge a day for the day that you return to dock? If you purchase for the entire cruise, they will charge by the number of nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MisterOJ2 Posted January 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Okay, so I don't think the drink packages were a thing the last time I cruised with RCI a couple years ago (except for the soda package, that is) and I'm not really that familiar with them. I assumed you had to buy them for the whole cruise. For me, that just seemed a little excessive because I really don't want to drink that much on a 7-day cruise. But if you can purchase it for just part of the cruise, that's something I might be interested in. Could someone give me more info about how that works?

You can purchase for part of a cruise if you purchase onboard. You must purchase for at least 4 days, and it must last until the end of the cruise.

J and J Posted January 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2016 One thing to think about is you are spending multiple days in port but will have to pay those days once you buy the drink package. Only my daughter will get a drink package because she doesn't get signing privileges on her card. Want to make sure she gets drinks when she wants. Some days I drink more and other days less, in the end it isn't worth it for me to have one. My husband is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
