mom2mybugs 1,640 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ok... So I bought on black Friday for low 50s... Can't even remember anymore. Price went to 49, I rebuilt. Last week it was at 47, I said what the heck, I can save 28! Just checked again and it was at 44!! 47 days pre-sail!! Happy to have just saved $50 for no reason!!! Nothing else was on sale! Now trying to decide if we should get the 1 device voom/drink pkg for an extra 9/day and if it's worth trying to call and get it for just one person...we don't need 2 devices. We really don't need to be that connected since sprint works in San Juan and I believe St Maarten. Jane ellcee 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lovetocruise2002 10,790 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Prices went down to the $40s range for HM 03/10/19 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It dropped for our 12 day on vision as well, but it was still 51/day and I just can't justify spending 1400 just on alcohol alone! Jane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twangster 25,709 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 If prices dropped they are trying to stimulate sales. I like to joke we see it when the next interim payment is due on current ship being built. If they need an influx of cash, put it on sale! tdcackler, PocketsRN, Deedeelynn and 7 others 5 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

monctonguy 1,732 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Still $52 on mine with 20% off that's been showing since I booked....really hoping to see it in the 40"s before I go.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLMoran 6,795 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 OK, it took me a minute to understand the meaning of your topic title. At first, I thought you were the victim of another IT glitch and had your beverage package dropped (removed) from your purchases for no reason. Got really confused for a minute when I all I saw you writing about was price drops! kontraxed and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Traveler 2,197 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 For Rhapsody August it drop from 50 to 47. Also they offer many discount on other items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLMoran 6,795 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 No change for me. Still $56/night. I probably have another 3 or 4 months before I'll start seeing any price drops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tiny260 1,604 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 On the Anthem GC in July, DP went from $52 down to $49 but it says buy one get one 50% off, I don't drink so that does me no good, I'm in a Sky class so I already get Voom. October Harmony cruise no change even though it says it is on sale $52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 10,940 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 My drink package dropped to $49 for my Brilliance sailing next week. $30 more in my pocket monctonguy, JLMoran, Mike P and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhatle01 14 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm glad I found this blog and review it on a regular basis! My drink package just dropped to $46, putting $56 back in my pocket! Matt, mom2mybugs, JLMoran and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelsjava 27 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 The drink package dropped from $56 to $52 for my sailing on symphony in a week and a half. Also bought the 3 night dinner package for $89 as we were going to Chops anyways and that was $52.99 on its own and cancelled my 3 device Voom amd bought a 4 device Voom for a total of $6 more across the sailing.

Todd W 264 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 yep i got ours on the buy one, get one 50% off a few weeks back which i think netted the cost to $49pp. a week or two ago, it dropped again to $44pp so i dropped and repurchased. Seems to be trending for people who are at 90 day mark or less before setting sail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike P 184 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I just re-priced my 4 device VOOM for Feb 24th Oasis to $22.39 a day! Works out to $5.60 per device per day.....seems like a great price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nanowerx 20 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Mine is showing $52/day for the Deluxe Package on my June Harmony cruise. But, on that note, I just got an email from Royal Caribbean today offering a 'buy one get one 50% off' for the Deluxe Package. However, when I add it to my cart for me and my wife, it still shows full price, so I am waiting for a response email from RC to fix it. Hope its legit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the little arrow next to the $52 in the Cruise Planner it says "this is your price including the discount", so they are already figuring BOGO, I think this is one of the worst ways they try and get you to buy, but they are still figuring the discount off of "On ship" pricing, so in Royal math they are giving you one at half price. The only reason I know is that I've been tracking pricing on Harmony for October, 19, and the price has not changed since the first of the year. Most of the people that are seeing the good discount above are within or right at the 90 day final payment. tdcackler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nanowerx 20 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Well thats a bummer, and I agree, pretty bad way of advertising their 'deal'. $860 is a bit too much for me to justify; around $600-$650 (maybe even up to $700) would have been the sweet spot to get me to take the plunge. Oh well, guess I will just try to do most of my drinking at ports and the 2 bottles of wine I am bringing onboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike P 184 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'm only 18 days out and today's sale is the equal to lowest price so far on the Deluxe Beverage and definitely the lowest so far on my 4 device Voom. JohnK6404 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Firemanswife2 6 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 It has not dropped below $52 for March 3, 2019 Oasis OTS. Watching every day (more like stalking) for 6 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My sailing is still 8 months away, much too soon to be seeing big discounts on that package; it was the same price during the Black Friday sale (although I got a killer rate on both the Refreshment package and 2-device VOOM). Based on my last two cruises, and everyone's feedback above with time frames, I'm not expecting to see an actual drop in the DBP until 3-4 months out. Maybe not even until 2 months out.
