Best Deluxe Beverage Package Prices

[Ogtubbx3]

Wondering how the current price for the deluxe beverage package compares to what everyone has seen. It’s the Halloween sale. BOGO 50% off. Comes out to $58.49 per day per person on Freedom for a 4 night cruise. Should I buy in now or see what Black Friday offers?

It’s always a good idea to buy early. If the price goes down, you can cancel and rebook.

That seems very low.  Almost pre summer increase pricing.  Are you trying to calculate the 50% discount or is that amount in the cart.  
 

The lowest I have seen someone post recently is $62.99pppd. My December 4 day has been going back and forth between $69.99 and $74.99.  This is all before the 18% gratuity of course.

Agree.. My 8 day Odyssey Thanksgiving Cruise has been fluctuating between $72.99 and $67.99....Never lower than $67.99 for past 4 months. Not alot of incentive to book early!

So I took the 77.99 per day per person, divided it in 2 for the “2nd package”, added it to the 77.99, and divided by 2 to get what we’d each pay as we’re splitting the discount. Wondering though what the 50% comes off of as when I click to reserve it still comes out to be the full 77.99 per person…

The BOGO is just a marketing ploy.  The price listed is the price per person on all the items.  Royal will always have a promo going on and just changes the price.  That price is really high for the package.  The break even will be about 7 drinks.

Yep, ignore the "sale" and "BOGO" crap - it's just marketing hype.  Pick the package you want and add it to your cart to see the actual per-person /per-day price.  The best I got for our Voyager cruise 4 weeks ago was $65 during the "Memorial Day Sale", but if often fluctuated between $75 and $65.

Yea I called and found this out… so annoying! Oh well. I’ll just wait and see if we get anything close to the $62.99. If not it’s not meant to be! We’re not big drinkers.

Buy it, that's a cheap price.  I just paid $68 for a four night on Navigator and $72 for Wonder during Thanksgiving.  Wonder has been between $68 and $78.  Halloween sale was $68.  Labor Day sale was $72, but it had gone to $78 the week before and than came down for the "SALE" to $72.
