Beverage Packages Sales

[Travel-Diva]

I will be sailing on Navigator of the Sea on April 12th. I was on my cruise planner and it said that the soda package is 9.99 per day and that its over 20 percent off onboard prices. I thought the soda package was 8.50 and the deluxe beverage package is 50.00 per day/adult. Are these on sale? Would there be a better deal as the sailing gets closer or on Black Friday? Thanks

I would definitely wait for a better sale. My sailing (October on Allure) just had the soda package for $8.50/day, refreshment for $18/day, and deluxe for $42/day.

Disregard any "percent off" numbers from Royal Caribbean, they make them up. Just look at the bottom line price.

 

Prices vary all the time. If you purchase and later see a lower price, then you can cancel and re-purchase. Keep checking the Cruise Planner.

All of the cruises I’ve booked for 2019 have the soda package listed at $9.99 so far. I guess they raised the price.

Prices are changing for many ships/sailings in 2019.

 

The Classic Soda package is now $9.99 when it's 20% off onboard prices, making it $12.50 onboard. I don't think Iever saw an advertised "discount off onboard prices" when the Classic Soda package is offered online at $8.50/day. Maybe someone else will offer what the onboard pricing is like up to now.

 

The Deluxe Beverage Package varies in price between different ships and sailings.

 

$42/day at 20% off onboard prices is when onboard prices are about $52.50/day

$42/day at 25% off onboard prices (usually advertised as Buy 1 Get 50% off the 2nd) is when onboard prices are about $56/day

$42/day at 30% off onboard prices is when onboard prices are about $60/day

 

$45/day at 20% off onboard prices is when onboard prices are about $56.25/day

$45/day at 25% off onboard prices (usually advertised as Buy 1 Get 50% off the 2nd) is when onboard prices are about $60/day

 

$47/day at 25% off onboard prices (usually advertised as Buy 1 Get 50% off the 2nd) is when onboard prices are about $62.67/day

 

$48/day at 20% off onboard prices is when onboard prices are about $60/day

 

 

For example of a price increase, I'm booked on Anthem of the Seas for a 1/6/2019 sailing. In the recent sale it went from $48/day advertised as 20% off onboard prices to $47/day advertised as 25% off onboard prices (Buy 1 Get 50% off 2nd). This represents a price increase on-board going form $60/day to $62.67/day.

 

So far, Drink Package prices either get discounted 20%, 25% or 30% from onboard prices. The math always works out. But it can look odd when you're also seeing a price increase. Internet Package prices are similarly going up a bit. As is the Refreshment Package. And of course all the package combinations that include the 1-device VOOM package are affected to.

 

Are prices going up on all ships and all sailings at the same time? I have no idea, but for those sailings I can see pricing for these in the cruise planner, it does seem common.
