another drink package question

[nikki79]

I'm pretty sure it has been asked but can not find an answer. I plan on buyinh the drink package on line, but when can I start using it. Can I use it the first day I get on the boat, or do I have to wait until we set sail.

It would help to know what cruise line.  And you might want to ask on the board here for that cruise line when they get them up and running again...EM

Oops, it is Royal Caribbean harmony of the seas...I will try the board when it is working again.

I'm sure someone will be along here to help you out.  those of us who need our Cruise Critic fix hang out on whatever board is working...EM

You can use it as soon as you board the ship and can find an open bar, you may be charged taxes (this is a local government tax, it does not stay with your cruise line or the servers) on your drinks until you are at sea, but you are looking at about $1 per drink. Not a big deal.
