pop5 Posted September 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Went online to look at my reservation and add another drink package. Says they no longer are offering it but will honor those already bought. What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Drink packages changed last week. All the names changed. Refreshment is now Classic Soda Replenish is now Refreshment Select is gone Premium is gone Ultimate is now Deluxe Edited September 12, 2016 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sml3 Posted September 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I also went online to check pricing of Deluxe just now as someone said last week theirs actually went down to $44/night. The Deluxe is not showing up as an option on either of my reservations. No alcohol package at all is available. Only soda, bottled water and refreshment packages. I wonder if they took the Deluxe down to end the 20% off??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they took the Deluxe down to end the 20% off??? Disappeared from our cruise as well, but was still in my cart from when I was checking prices yesterday. Went ahead and bought just in case they do end the 20% off, but I would guess it's more likely to be a technical glitch. We'll see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekB Posted September 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I am guessing a temporary error, however nothing above the refresh package is showing available for my cruise coming up next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havingfun2010 Posted September 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Went online to look at my reservation and add another drink package. Says they no longer are offering it but will honor those already bought. What is going on? It's like going to a store to buy a matching table to the living room you bought and discover it is discontinued and not available.....Drink packages are a product that can change any day, and go on sale, or have sale removed any day. New packages. Old ones are being honored if purchased already. 20% is a sale price, and of course can be on the new packages just as much as it was on the old package. The beer and wine package is expired. The other two top packages were combined as one, having all the same benefits as the top tier package.

Mickey_Maniac Posted September 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Has to be some kind of technical issue. There are no Dining or Internet options listed either under the individual tabs. Funny thing is though, the Dining and Internet options are still listed under the Entertainment & Activities tab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop5 Posted September 12, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My cruise leaves this Friday. I guess we will just have to purchase the other one onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted September 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I sure wouldn't want to be a HTTL programmer for RCCL with all the changes they make and the differences between Ships and Dates. Must be an IT nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be an IT nightmare. Should be all database driven as far as itinerary changes, no HTML changes. The big changes are when they decide we don't need to seach for specififc staterooms anymore.

CapeCodCruiser Posted September 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It was gone from mine as well. I just called and cancelled my Ultimate Package and purchased the new Deluxe - saved $40 on each package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamus18 Posted September 12, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I found the restaurant and internet listed in the entertainment and activities section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey_Maniac Posted September 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Deluxe package is listed under the beverages tab again, still at the 20% off $44 price point. When I add it to my cart, it shows without gratuities. Do they get added to your account automatically, or do you pay them when you purchase each drink?

Gratuities will be added to the package when you check-out. No extra gratuities are added per drink, unless you exceed the package limit on a particular drink.

Rare terry&mike Posted September 12, 2016 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I just purchased the Deluxe Package for an August 2017 sailing for the $44 sale price, the 18% gratuity was added at checkout. Total cost for 11 nights, 2 adults, $1142.24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie2703 Posted September 12, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just went in to take a look and I see 20% off the Deluxe! Which looks like ultimate now?? I've been researching and number crunching the drink packages for our 2/2017 cruise. Looks like the 20% off might have sealed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Deluxe is the new name for what used to be called Ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted September 12, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Last week I went to buy the beer package for my husband and had to re figure to see if it would be worth if for our 7 day cruise next July. Based the number of beers he will drink on our Caribbean cruise it was still worth it. However it is cheaper for our 15 day TA the following August at $44 + gratuity vs $46 for the Caribbean.

cookie2703 Posted September 12, 2016 #19 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I just bought the Deluxe with the 20% off in case they end the offer. I saw some other posts that said they added gratuity during check out to it - it didn't do that for me this time?? Will I still pay the 18% gratuity at some point?

Nope, you're done, they don't add gratuity after the initial purchase. Maybe you got the benefit of some website bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our Caribbean cruise on Harmony this January it is $48 per person. Was hoping to see the $44 others have reported, but no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
