Beverage Packages - When do they show up for purchase?

[Priszm]

Hello.  My next cruise isn't until April 2021.  Typically (because results may vary), how long before a cruise do the beverage packages show up for purchase in the planner?  I would like to know approximately when I should start looking for them.  Thank you!

Unfortunately, there's no "typically" with items showing up in the Cruise Planner.  All you can do is check often.

We are going next June and we can already select that and internet.

Cynbeth,  That is interesting.  I was told recently that we cannot expect Beverage packages etc. for our July 2020 E of the Seas not be available until November.  How long ago did you learn the prices of the packages?

Ours is booked for May 2020, but drink packages have shown up for several months already.  Need to keep checking as the prices fluctuate, and as you get closer to sail date, more options appear.

I've had our dining and drink package booked for our Navigator cruise in December 2020 for at least a couple months now.

 

i hope options appear soon for our Odyssey cruise in January 2021.

I usually book over a year in advance 🙂. Beverage packages seem to be one of the first things to pop up.  I am pretty sure ours showed up about 10 months before our sailing date, for our feb, 2020 cruise

The Deluxe Beverage Package for my sailing on Odyssey in Dec 2020 is $82!  Yeowza!  I'll wait and see if it lowers any by then.

Hah! The first things available for mine are Coco Cay Zip Line, Thrill Waterpark, Cabanas, the balloon, and ship spa services.  😄

The first ones to show for me (May 2020) was Beverage package/ Internet/ Spa/ Specialty Dining....then Coco Cay Thrill park and cabanas, zipline, and balloon.  I secured my beverage package went it went "on sale" for $18pp/pd
