[lalalemon]

Well that's not showing up in my cruise planner! Only got the deluxe, soda and water packages available to buy!

 

Do you know if they've changed the price of it?

They have raised the price of the Refreshment package, which used to be called the Replenish package. It went from $19 to $26.

Today is confusing, no doubt. The new Refreshment Package appears to cost $26 per day per person but its not clear if that is in US Dollars or another currency. For me here in the US, I still see the old Beverage Packages.

I'm really cross now, funny that I have been trying to buy my drinks packages for days and it wouldn't let me do it, and now they've put the prices up!

I still see the old packages for my October 2016 sailing on Liberty in my Cruise Planner.

[jules815]

Deluxe is $44/day for Harmony TA.

I still can't get any drink packages to show up for my Navigator sailing on 4/14. I would just like to see if there is a discount, and the new package pricing.

I am on that same sailing and none show for me either.

 

A cruise I have booked for September 2017 is showing the new packages though. The Deluxe is listed as 20% off and is $46/day (+ gratuity).

My Cruise Planner has now updated with the new packages. We're on Liberty October 9th.

 

The Deluxe Package shows to be $46.00 USD Adult per day, which is apparently 20% off.

Do you have the e mail address I want something in writing for when I board on the 28th oct tia

[racerxspeedy]

I'm on Oasis now and confirmed with the beverage manager that the new program will be rolled out over the next few weeks here. Sorry for the news

[romesauce]

I was just able to purchase the Royal Replenish package for myself and my husband for our Dec/2016 Harmony sailing via Cruise Planner. All the old packages were still available to purchase.

Woohoo! I have been stalking the beverage packages for my April 16, 2017 Liberty Cruise. We haven't been able to purchase since the 20% offer was put up.

 

The deluxe with 20% off is currently posted - $46 plus gratuity = $54/day. I'm pretty sure that's less than I would have been paying for ultimate before so I booked it for both of us before they change their mind about the discount for April!

Including grats the increased cost to upgrade is $7.90 pp pd. Having previously had the free Select Perk, which we upgraded onboard for $15, our B2B on Oasis next Feb is going to cost us $221 more than we expected it to cost when we booked the cruise due to these changes. Royal have changed the goalposts since we booked and have not thought this through at all. Up to yesterday they were still selling cruises on the UK site with a free Select package and stating it was upgradeable onboard to the Premium package.

 

I've sent off an email to Royal but not expecting any movement. I'm guessing a response will be along the lines of 'we reserve the right to change our drinks packages at any time' plus 'the new Deluxe package offers more choice than the Premium package'.

 

An easy fix would have been an option to pay for the upgrade to Premium via the cruise personaliser rather than waiting till people board.

 

The Select perk has been offered to UK cruisers for some time now and there are still some ex uk cruises this season left to sail that will be packed with passengers who have the Select package. Hopefully the feedback from customers on these cruises over the next few weeks might prompt a more favourable response from Royal.

if its re the free select package then all the email addresses we have been using are on that thread

A few weeks ago, I cancelled our Select beer/wine package for the Oasis next March, hoping to re-purchase them at the 20% discount but was unable to do that because they were discontinued!:mad: So, I purchased the Ultimate for myself but not DH. Since the package offerings are now totally changed, I just purchased the new Deluxe package for DH. A few weeks ago, when I purchased the Ultimate for the 7 nights, which cost $336.00 plus a "service charge" of $60.48 for a total of $396.48. Today, I just purchased the Deluxe package for DH at the exact same price.;) I'm too tired of being frustrated over this s**t!! Cheers and happy cruising!!:cool:

[cyndepet]

We had the Ultimate package booked for our cruise next month. I priced out the new package, and it saved us $25 for the 9-night cruise. Better than nothing!

[eightofninekev]

I'm going to Alaska next year and have a select package included with the deal ,does anyone know if i still get a package ?

Supposedly yes but you just can't purchase it anymore.:rolleyes: We have the Select beer/wine package for our cruise this October on FOS.:cool:

Just saw this thread today :( We purchased 2 Ultimate beverage packages for our cruise this coming Sunday. Out of curiosity, I put 2 of the new Deluxe packages in our cart for the same cruise on my cruise planner and it is decently cheaper than what we already paid for the 2 Ultimate packages. A bit irritated that those who purchased the Premium packages at a cheaper price will also be given the Deluxe package.

 

Has anyone called to get some type of credit for this price difference? I am going to be calling tonight!

Can't you cancel your Ultimate packages and add the Deluxe packages?

[chuklehead07]

Didn't think about that! I don't see why not, thank you! :) I'll see what options they give me, we'll take the onboard credit if that's an option since we'll use it anyways.
