Has anyone seen better than 35% off beverages package on any sales they have?

Some say it may be 50% off on Black Friday. I bought premium at 30%. Will only refund and buy again if it gets to near 50%

I just upgraded from classic to premium for $8.99 per day plus gratuties.

That is the best I see currently on two of my 2025 bookings.

Last year I was able to upgrade to premium  for $6.99 plus gratuities a day from Classic.  Was the best I have seen in my watching of the pricing.  I did see $8.99 today for my other sailing and just purchased it, if it goes down again I will cancel and rebook.  🙂

Nope…I’ve been watching for a while. I have 35% right now but it’s just too much in Canadian.  45/50 I’d buy.

Last Black Friday it was 50% off , the cost for 2 including gratitudes was $1608 CAD for 12 night cruise, still debating whether to keep it for our Nov TA , since we are Elite , and don’t drink that much Would need to buy 10 $10 drinks to break even 

I don’t drink coffee anymore ,and have basically cut out soda ,  could be better to use Elite drinks and buy when we want a drink 🤔

Yeah I was thinking same thing, at that price I’ll pay as I go it would work out to less

[Cruisingirl2012]

It’s for a 2025 cruise so no rush, upcoming cruise we are good wit AI

Similar first-world dilemma here.

Premium Package on 35% off sale is still more than $1,500 US for the two of us on a 10-night sailing.

That spend seems to defeat the purpose of taking advantage of an excellent cruise-only hot deal.🤣

DH may have to imbibe during Elite breakfast and drink OVC swill the rest of the day.🙃

We will pay as we go for his nightly Sapphire martini.

I have seen 40% when I first booked but added the AI when i booked so It didn't matter. I paid $52 for the drink package and wifi. The classic drink package alone was $57. Now 32 days away and they are offering 30% off. That's a new one. It's been 40% 35% and 15%.

$1608 CAD was for classic package , and for the cruise in the balcony was only $1666 CAD including taxes & port fees with $360CAD of OBC 

so it almost feels “WERID” to spend the same amount for drinks 
definitely first world problem 🤣

 

[Stem to Stern]

That was a helova deal.

Yep, not happening here.

After getting lit at HH we would both need to down 2x $17 cocktails and 3x $17 wines each night just to break even.  
And he still would not be getting his afternoon skinny lattes.😆😆

I would rather spend the calories on food.😇

I wish CC would add more emojis , just a 👍 would be nice 

The more I read our comments the more I thinking of cancelling the drink package 😉

For us the numbers don’t compute.
Embark with one bottle of wine each

Bloody and Bellini Elite B’fast everyday.

Elite HH everyday.

Is there a free Captain’s Club Wine Tasting??

Is there also a CC Officers’ Soirée where booze flows freely?

I never did a TA, but it seems the F&B mood on a TA might be a bit more free, lax, and loose perhaps??🤔 

I may just be thinking wishfully on your behalf.

Correction on the your wine count😏

2 in your carry on, 2 in your partners carryon .

you’re carrying your partner’s bottle in your bag 😉

2 in your check bag , 2 in your partners check bag 🤣

We basically only do repositioning or TA’s , never done a Caribbean cruise

Correction

Oh SNAP !!!

I am too much of a rules boy for all that.

But I do admire your smuggler’s prowess.

Meanwhile I will come and go from the casino for my complimentary drinks while “gambling.”😏

(Forgot to add that one to my work-the-system list.)

I have the all included but it will not offer the upgrade from classic to premium. Just offers the premium package only at 35%off.

Update:

Yesterday Premium Package was $64.99 pppn (on my sailing.)

Today it is back up to $79.99.

I checked on the website and in the app.

Happy Labor Day Sale!!🤣

It’s supposed to be on all weekend. If you look using different devices the prices change.

So I have read.

X IT at its finest.

I will screen shot it next time.

But I am leaning towards not biting the bullet.

Will the beverage package ever go on sale for a Christmas sailing?
