Hi

taking my family of non cruisers on their first RC trip. I have cruised many times before and have always purchased the deluxe beverage package for the ease. I have booked my family on a two night cruise out of Sydney in January on ovation and while all the other packages are available the deluxe doesn’t seem to be. Wondering if there is a restriction on beverage packages on shorter cruises that I have not yet come across before? 

Hi I am travelling from Australia and was wondering what people thought of booking guaranteed rooms vs opting to let royal allocate with current occupancy rates?
