Better to purchase dining package before the cruise or wait to purchase on board

[qdog123]

Hello folks,

 

Just curious if it’s any cheaper to wait and purchase a dining package once on board or should I buy now before the cruise. Not sure if they run promo’s once on board for things like this.

 

Thanks!

No discounts onboard. 
 

if you buy it now, so save the hassle of having to get your room key reissued onboard. Unless you have a ton of OBC you want to use.

Thanks, that’s exactly the advice I was seeking!

So if I wait until I'm on board, I'll have to get my keys re- issued?  I was going to wait so I could use OBC

I purchased a 3 meal dining package for about $82 per person when it first became available for my cruise departing on October 20. Over time, the price went up to over $100 per person. Seems like a good idea to purchase the package as soon as it is available. Plus, you can then make your reservations before boarding.
