Cbear1973 Posted July 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Morning. Warning of a small rant here... I'm on Indy for spring break next year. I'm finding it hard to believe that all of the drink packages are now so much higher. The soda package that has been 8.50 a day for YEARS is now 9.99 (which is a "discount" of 10% over the onboard price). Can the soda package really have increased that much - or is it because of the Freestyle machines now on the ship? The refreshment package is 26.00 a day now, and that's a 10% discount too. I've heard of 30% off the refreshment package for "upcoming" cruises - not sure which ones - but I've yet to see this for Indy. Is there a chance that maybe on Black Friday, these prices will somewhat drop to prices I've become accustomed to? Thanks, all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Why wouldn’t you expect the prices to go up after years of being the same? The refreshment package regularly goes on sale for $18. About every second or third weekend for sailings up to 6 months out has been the pattern over the last 6 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajbec Posted July 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2018 You've got plenty of time to monitor for discounts before spring break. Also, the drink packages are completely optional. Also, if you've been around any amount of time, the drill is mark it up to discount it later so it can be run "on sale" to what peepsxare used to...
