Drink package "sale" for July 2024 Alaska

[surgie]

I saw in my online RCCL account that I can now purchase a beverage package at a pre-cruise savings of 20% off. Shore excursion are being offered at 10% off, though I usually book my own, not through the cruise line. 

 

Is 20% off typically the best deal on beverage packages that will be offered prior to sailing? With the cruise still 16 months away I'm sundering if the price typically goes up closer to the cruise?

They will have 2 more sales one being the buy one get one free and the best sale they will have 30% off

Prices will go up and down until you cruise.  Don't believe any of the % numbers - those change even when the price doesn't.  Look at price and book when you are happy with that.  Then keep watching every day or so and cancel/rebook if you get a better price.  Unless you are using onboard credit you will not get refund of first booking for 7-10 days after you cancel.

 

Best prices of year are usually Thanksgiving week.

Yes, my TA said I could book at the current price and cancel and rebook if something better comes along. But this far our I may wait a bit. Thanks for advice.
