Sparetiming Posted October 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The beverage package for our cruise is usually $55.00 a day in Cruise Planner today its $41.00. Is this the best it gets or should we hold out? Must be on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dssking Posted October 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If you purchase today, and it gets better, you can always cancel and go with the cheaper package.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted October 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've seen it as low as $38. But wasn't that with a C&A discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawkfan21 Posted October 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2017 At $41 per day I wouldn't wait. Even if it did go down slightly you can cancel and rebook up until a few days prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogsrule Posted October 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2017 When I saw ours for $41 instead of $55 last night our entire group made the purchase. Our cruise is in March and I have read about Black Friday/cyber Monday sales so I will check back then and adjust if it's less expensive but our group is happy at $41.

dwayneb236 Posted October 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I would jump on that. I bought at $44 a day and it also just dropped to $41. Just cancelled and rebooked. Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea shepherd Posted October 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I got the drink package on Harmony this week onboard it was 49 a day. Then with my 40% off of that. Made it 35.30 a day. I felt that was a good deal. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchette Posted October 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2017 But wasn't that with a C&A discount? How do you get a C& A discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 12, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 12, 2017 How do you get a C& A discount? If you are Platinum level or above in Royal's Crown & Anchor society, you are eligible for a discount on any stateroom with a balcony. You can get this automatically if you book on the website, or by calling whoever books your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted October 12, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Been away from Royal for a few years so not up to date on C & A perks. Is there a discount on the beverage package for Diamond C & A members? I looked on the website but very little detail on Diamond perks, said letter will be in the stateroom detailing the benefits.

Some ships offer a 20% discount on the Deluxe package for Diamond level. Sorry, but I've not kept track of which ships do this. Most of the time the pre-cruise discount in the Cruise Planner is better than this anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted October 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So sad. My Allure August cruise is still $55 a day :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Booze Posted October 12, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So glad you wrote Sparetiming: my cruiseplanner says $46/day (20% off) for Dec 16 cruise. I'll wait for black friday now. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2017 How do you get a C& A discount? The beverage package discount is only available on board, and is deducted from the onboard price. Pinnacle level gets 40% off Diamond Plus gets 30% off As above, some ships will give Diamonds 20% off. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayvan Posted October 13, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I just noticed on our upcoming cruise in January it stated everyone of legal drinking age in a room must purchase. Is that new? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayvan Posted October 13, 2017 #21 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes, just started a few weeks ago. Thanks... doesn’t seem worth it to me then. Especially if the other person in the room is a non drinker or only likes the occasional beverage. That would be over $1200 for our 10 day adventure. I can’t ever recall spending that much on drinks during any cruise and I certainly like to have my share! I will be the pay as you go guy!
