We buy a Dining Package (3, 5, UDP) or multiple packages (3+5) for every cruise and have never been charged more than the Planner price. If we add another night or a lunch onboard, we are charged the additional 18%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratuities are not added to the dining package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisc25 Posted December 1, 2019 #330 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Deluxe Beverage it’s cheaper today at $53/day dollars for my 7 days on allure of the seas in May. Cheapest I seen it so far. The ultimate dining package was cheaper a couple weeks ago for the essential sale. It was like $25/day. Now it’s 26.

Cel_cruise Posted December 1, 2019 #337 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Cyber Monday deals seem to be the same for me as the Black Friday (in the past there is an extra savings on CM). The prices for 4 device voom, refreshment, Soda And cococay activities are the lowest we have seen since booking. DBP and UDP are equal to the lowest prices we have seen (60/day and $99). I am still on the fence - we have DBP booked but the $19 refreshment package is so well priced..need to really figure out if we will get the $80 benefit/day out of it!!

Nextcruise42 Posted December 1, 2019 #338 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I booked the $19 refreshment package for myself, but dh wants the deluxe package . Since I don't come close to making it worth it I called rccl but no good on that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your husband should be able to purchase the DPB if you have the refreshment package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bboop51 Posted December 1, 2019 #344 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Major disappointment here in their "sale." Our Deluxe Bev Pkg has been $59 for awhile. The cyber Monday sale price is $51. I do have to admit the regular bev pkg went down to $19, which is a fair amount less than when I looked the other day (I can't drink alcohol, so I have to take this package or hubby can't have the alcohol pkg himself.) I'll keep looking and hope for a surprise sale... who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiselovin'girl Posted December 2, 2019 #348 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hello, Just read about some deals for our cruise coming up in June. If I purchase them now, I can cancel up until the cruise, correct? TIA! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted December 2, 2019 #349 Share Posted December 2, 2019 You would be looking at Cyber Monday deals now. If you book things on your Cruise Planner now, yes, you can cancel them up to 3 days (I think) before the sailing. I'm not sure why you would want to book them if you think you are going to cancel them, but sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
