Super Cheap Deluxe Drink Package price

I just noticed for my sailing it's usually 75.81 CAD a day and it was just posted for 23.94 a day (so we booked it). Will RC honour this if it was some sort of error on their end?  Has anyone ever encountered something like this before?

Not sure what happens, I'm guessing like cabin price errors, they will honour it.  As long as you actually booked and paid for it, not just put it in your cart.

I just looked at our 7 night cruise in October 2020 and the deluxe drink package was listed for $18 (US) per day!!!  So, I booked it too! $297 total for the two of us! Incredible!!  

However, my other three more recent cruises were all priced as usual, but I will take a computer glitch were I can!

Thanks for the heads up @kuruczpa! What a find!!! 

I am in a facebook group and a few people have contacted RC and it looks like they said the price will get adjusted back to normal within 24 hrs and everyone is going to be refunded? Doesn't sound the most fair since it's their error...

Hmmm I have a $16.36 per day on my western med sailing in 2020.  We were not buying the beverage package since we have 6 port days and one sea day.  I can't imagine we'll have much time to drink on board.  I'm tempted to see what happens...but I can't imagine they will honor the price. 

They did this to me when they applied OBC via MYVEGAS as well as the shareholder benefit OBC.  They initially applied it then said they made a mistake and took it away.  

If you read the terms they reserve the right to cancel for pricing errors, just like most any website out there.

Hmm wonder they have honoured previous pricing errors if they have a clause that lets them change it for errors on their end

I grabbed it for our TA in November 2020.  If they take it away, then I'll just wait for Black Friday sales.  It sure would be nice if they let us keep it, though . . . Fingers crossed!!!

I just called and the lady and her supervisor both just said the price will stay unless I cancelled. I got her to to repeat it and she said the calls are recorded. So I'm not quite sure how they could go back on that now? lol

I booked my May 2020 cruise drink package for $18 per day. Fingers crossed 

I just bought it for my Feb 2020 Symphony cruise as well as my Oct 2020 Brilliance cruise!  Holy cats! If it stays, awesome!  If not, nothing lost.

That would be so amazing as I grabbed it too for my cruise next year! We were leaning towards not getting it but at that price it's worth it. 

I noticed that (on my Cruise Planner, anyway) it was labeled as "Deluxe Package Special Offer EU - 18 years and older."  Is it just on cruises that include Europe in their itinerary, maybe?

Omg!  I just checked all 4 of my sailings and they are all at $18/day as well!  Booked it for now.

What ship? Our cruise (Christmas on Liberty) is $49.00. I'll camp on Cruise Planner!

Booked it for 12 nighter in May 2020.  We usually get the refreshment package, but this will be only $1 a day each more if they honor it. The October 2019 four night is still listed at $46/day, so maybe it's a 2020 sail date glitch.

I love this forum so very much. I just went and snagged that for my whole family for my May 2020 cruise even though me and my mom don't drink since $18 is cheaper than the Refreshment sale price lately. And if this means that my dad can freely order wine and beer, then all the better!

I'm U.S. and got it.

2019 sail dates also??

Oh yes, THANK YOU @kuruczpa !!!!

I just tried to book it and my name is greyed out.    Maybe they fixed it? 

I checked, still 49.00 for an August cruise.

I nabbed the $18.00 deal for our Greek Isle cruise in June, 2020 but our Caribbean cruise this Christmas is still $49.00???  Watching and waiting....

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!

Dang. I can’t even get into my cruise planner now.

Nothing for me.

Got it for my Symphony cruise in April 2020, but my Brilliance cruise in December is still $49. Interesting that the invoice showed up as DBP “Special Offer”. Fingers crossed they don’t cancel the deal on all of us that snagged it.

Must be. My October sailing shows $52, which I'm assuming is the 4th of July sale price. Would have loved to catch a break like that!!

Yeah, my Dec 2019 price hasn't changed.  

$52 for my August 2019 Mariner cruise, $18 for my May Liberty 2020 cruise.

Got it for my holiday 2020 cruise on Anthem! Worst case, it gets refunded (I typically don’t get the alcohol packages when sailing with my kids/family). 

Could it be a marketing ploy to offer a ridiculously low drinks deal for 2020 sailings only..... to get a huge surge in bookings?

For those with soda drinking kids, you may want to check out the soda & internet package for kids is only 8.99 which is the same price as the soda only package...  may be part of the same sale/glitch?

According to a post from another group, the glitch has been fixed...

Wheee! I was just able to grab this deal for my Jun 2020 Jewel trip! Took a looooooooong time -- the website was very busy  

You guys are THE BEST!

I really want to see how this all pans out. We're talking lots of $$$. Following.

I have to think it will all get cancelled, but look how good we all feel, at least for a few hours!

Wow, that’s like a $450 savings (for 2) if it sticks!

My wife and I were just saying we need to book a cruise... fast!
