Drink Cards

[CountryGuy13]

Hi,

 

My family will be sailing on the Oasis of the Seas in August. I didn't purchase any drink plans as my wife and I aren't big drinkers (a couple margaritas for each of us will probably be it each day). However, I've read a number of threads talking about drink cards that let you pre-purchase x drinks for a set amount. That would be huge for us (and sounds similar to the coffee cards we purchased already).

 

Are they only available on-board, as I don't see them listed for purchase ahead of time? If so, where and when can you get them?

Only on board, starting day 4 on our cruise, any bar, $79 plus 18%.

Yes, only on-board and they don't start selling them until mid-week. I believe I saw them pop up on Wednesday (day 4) of my 7-night Oasis cruise earlier this month.

Thanks clarea and mike! I guess they are trying to sell the packages, but still seems odd they wouldn't offer them earlier - Pre-paid is still selling. Still, day 4 is better than nothing.

I think there's not as much profit in the drink cards, so they put them off until the end. They may not even offer them on some sailings.

I have only seen the card offered once in 42 RCCL cruises!!:confused: Must sail on the wrong ships.

On the Allure it was offered on day #4 and is was so not worth it to us. It was more expensive than the alcohol we were going to drink from then on.

It was $79 plus 18% gratuity for ten drinks on Allure in May. The card can be shared. It wasn't available until day 5 on our sailing, you have to ask at one of the bars. It is definitely worth it if you drink Martinis or any of the signature cocktails that are $13.

 

Just do the math, if you are a beer drinker, it isn't worth it. See what you are drinking and how much they cost per drink.
