Adding services mid trip/ best use of onboard credit

[Jakefromcanada]

I know you can't typically book beverage or internet etc for one day....but if i decide i want to add drink package or internet etc on day 2, 3, etc of my 4 night cruise for the remainder of the cruise can i do that on a pro-rated basis ? ie. pay for the days left in the cruise instead of the whole duration of the cruise?

I will be sailing Royal Caribbean - Nav. of the Seas out of LA to Ensenada April 29-May 3rd. and have $200 onboard credit to use and already have spa services booked on another segment of my 2 week vacation.  I know $200 won't last long with a few drinks and or food at Sports Bar (will be there can't miss hockey playoffs ) and possibly internet access. None of the excursions seem to catch my attention. TIA.

Best to ask this on the RCI board, here:

This will be sent to the RCI board, but in general ships don’t sell daily drink packages. You usually have to book by the second day. On a four day they might not even allow that. Keep in mind RCI charges a fortune for the package and drinks in general. If you just buy drinks as you go you can burn through a lot of OBC quickly. 
 

But to answer the generic question, I use OBC for the daily service charge. It’s as good as cash that way.

Royal Caribbean certainly used to sell drinks packages mid-cruise at the pro-rata daily rate but it had to be for the entire rest of the cruise. And there were a minimum number of days - like @wcook I rather think that's around 4 days, for a 4-day cruise it might not even be possible to book a cruise-long package.

 

If you're wine-drinkers I suggest you try the house wine before deciding on a wine package - the house wine is cheaper than any packages.

 

I doubt anyone has ever had a problem using up $200 credit on a 4-day cruise 😏
