Deluxe Beverage Package

 

From

$120.86 AUD$151.08 AUD/ per guest per day

(20% OFF)PRE-CRUISE SAVINGS😂🤣

How long is your cruise? We are on the transpacific and it is just over $100 AUD per person per day. Even Chops is almost $100, it is nice but worth that? And then you have the room prices that are going up and down every day. A junior suite is around $11,000 (for 2 people) more than a balcony on Ovation, crazy stuff for a room with very little perks. They aren't going to get too many takers at those prices.

The whole cruise prices are really terrible .

[Coralc]

That is ridiculous pricing. 

[ReneeFLL]

That’s about $85.00 US. I think it’s very high, but others have posted they still think it’s worth it. The one and only time we bought the DP was on a TP in 2017. It was $48.00 and I thought that was high. 😁

BARGAIN!! Was $143 last time I looked….🤣🤣

[Snoopkat]

It's ridiculous. I could bring 4 bottles of Dom Perignon onboard and it would still be cheaper than their drinks package.

[Chiliburn]

It’s pretty rude.

 

[Fluffy Tiger]

I can beat that. Ridiculous

The drinks package for a couple is dearer than the per night cruise cost.  Incredible!

I thought $18 was high *.  😜

 

* At the time of the "mistake", they had diamond breakfast with free specialty coffee and diamond happy hour with unlimited drinks.

Just off the Adventure a couple of weeks ago and they were running out of beer and liquor.  Hendricks Gin, Jack Daniels, Port Wine, Belvedere Vodka, Guinness, just to name a few brands that were nowhere to be found on board.  If I had purchased the UDP, I would have asked for my money back.  I see a surge in Run Runners being purchased. LOL

If people quit buying it, they'll rethink their pricing.  But, that won't happen.  We've never bought it because in any type of calculation I can think of, it's never a good or even mediocre deal and we're in the US.  BTW, as of today, that's $85 in US dollars and is similar to what I've seen posted.  Royal offers the pkg because it makes them money, not to save you money.

Pricing is CRAZY.  Royal inflates a price and then makes up a sale!

 

I don't purchase the drink package and don't pay much attention to the pricing but the prices showing on this thread are HIGH. 

 

RCCL extra pricing is ridiculous.  We just paid over $80 pp to use our BOGO at chops.  Don't think we'll do that again.  Coco Beach club is well over $225 PER PERSON for the day.  Cabanas are $3,500 for the day.  My weeklong cruise for 2 in a balcony cabin was less than that!

We’ve just paid £40 for ours. Believe this only a UK promotion though. Big difference in price to what others are quoting in this thread.

[ONECRUISER]

Glad I don't Drink, 90% my Cruises are now Cheaper per Day then the Package.

I have a few Coco days booked over the next couple of years. I'm not seeing those prices.  What cruises are you seeing $3500 Cabana's?

[Tree_skier]

Most of mine are all in the $75 range.  Maybe Royal really does hate Aussies.

People too often get addicted to the drink packages. You don't need a drink package to drink.

I was really torn on the package. Wife and I drink pretty solidly on vacation. I sat down and wrote out what we would reasonably drink plus the port days plus CoCo Cay and determined if the price ever went under $65 pp/per day then we would be getting our money's worth without needing to commit to getting absolutely hammered. So when it was at $60.99 I got it.

 

There's also some peace of mind attached that I don't have to worry about calculating how much we've spent on the cruise based on what we felt was "worth it" for a drink package, so as long as we get in the "ballpark" of what we spent for the drink package, I'm fine with that.

Probably trying to make up the difference from all the passengers with 4, 5, and 6 drink vouchers that are no longer purchasing the UBP. 

[rudeney]

RCI is making fun of as all with these crazy DBP prices.  When we first booked, it was $65 and I didn;t buy it because it was not a good deal.  Now it's $75.  

[MandyMooToo]

We just purchased it at $77.99pp in US dollars, so around $109 AUD I think, and that was a "sale" price.
