happygirlchocolate Posted August 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2020 RC is running a sale on the deluxe beverage package tonight. I was able to get it at $44 per day plus tax for a sailing on Navigator of the Seas in February. I went to buy it for my sailing on Symphony of the seas and although it's advertised for $44 the banner says Sells out quickly. I previously purchased it for the Symphony for $53 so I call RC and they said it's sold out. I logged back in and it shows available. I would need to cancel my $53 to see if I could luck out and get the $44. Every time I add it to my cart it says you already purchased this item. Anyone else luck out and get this sale? Deluxe Beverage Package — 50% OFF Toast to unlimited options at our lowest price ever. Limited quantity available! DELUXE BEVERAGE PACKAGE — 50% OFF DELUXE BEVERAGE PACKAGE — 50% OFF DELUXE BEVERAGE PACKAGE — 50% OFF PRICES STARTING FROM*$44.00 USD Adult per day CHECK AVAILABILITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happygirlchocolate Posted August 27, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Yippie. I was able to get the $44 drink package for both of my cruises. It took a lot of patience and logging out and back in again but I got it. I had to cancel my original beverage package on the Symphony sailing in January. Once I canceled I was able to repurchase it for the $44 price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerick Posted August 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2020 No luck -- turned down $40 3 months ago on 11 night Anthem on 26 Jan 22. Still shows $54 today. It will have to drop a bunch to interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgemoe Posted August 27, 2020 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Tried to get it yesterday at $42 for our 7 day May 2021 Symphony sailing. By the time I got there SOLD OUT but I could purchase for $60. Nope. Today it's back up to $67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on a $40 deal, the actual cost is $47.20. It adds up fast. But when you purchase an individual drink on the ship, they add the 18% too. So really, if the package is $40, that's about the same as buying a couple of pina coladas, a glass a wine, a latte and a bottle of water. You'd still have to add the 18% to the onboard prices, so I always look at the bottom line of the package before gratuity. I know the approximate onboard prices of the drinks I'll likely have. Taking the gratuity out of the equation when deciding lets me compare 'apples to apples' since I'll be paying that 18% no matter if I get a package or just buy drinks on board as I want them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Grandma 13 Posted August 27, 2020 #19 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I received an email from Royal Caribbean yesterday morning announcing the 50% off sale. Purchased it immediately with no problem for $42/day for my June 2021 Symphony cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They entice people to try and purchase at the "sale" price then offer it to them at a not so good discount in hopes that they bite. I'm sure they do sell a few at the advertised sale to make it legit. If they get enough people to purchase at the $60 they won't have to run anymore sales or their sales won't be as low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you. My point was to make sure and consider the 18% when making your decision. You are committing to pay this total amount, no matter what you actually drink. But, of course, the gratuity shows when you start to pay for the package. So it's not a hidden cost. I just like to consider everything when spending 100's of bucks. 🤑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you booked through a TA they are still logged into you account. Or the other person traveling with you logged in and never logged out of the account.

not-enough-cruising Posted August 28, 2020 #25 Share Posted August 28, 2020 A good price on a beverage package for a cruise that won't sail is not a bargain; just another loan to RCCL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
