JayJay1908 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have plenty of time until I sail (Aug 2020 on Adventure of the Seas), but what’s the best option/deal for someone who wants to purchase: - Voom for 2 devices (just want to be able to text via iPhone between each other and home) - Deluxe drink package for 2 adults We are first time RC cruisers and have time to wait for a sale (from what I read it seems Black Friday sales are best?), but I’d like to have an idea on what to keep an eye out for.

SpeedNoodles Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 There's usually an option for the Deluxe Drink Package + 1 Voom device - keep an eye out for that when it comes out. You'll most likely get the best price for that - buy it when you see it, but keep an eye on it for the price to come down during sales.

For my cruises they've always been a wash, but I always check separately because Royal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melski94 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 For many of my sailings, Black Friday did not offer the best deals. I found slightly better deals or at least the same prices in early October. I always have high hopes for Black Friday but am usually disappointed.

mom2mybugs Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Regardless of sale, book as early as you can. Continue to keep checking and if the price goes down, you can cancel and rebook. In terms of bundles, etc, like everyone said, check all options. We ended up buying separate on one trip, and together on another. There is no rhyme or reason with royals pricing. Ok...I know there is tied to demand etc but just assume you will have to check prices and recheck a lot! Jane SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
711Dave Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 We just bought the Refreshment Package ( no booze) and will buy the hard stuff if and when we want to. This package had been $20/pppd for a long time and about a week ago jumped to $26/pppd. Just this afternoon it dropped back to $20/pppd saving us $108. It pays to watch the packages of interest as they do change. JennyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryRoads Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 While Adventure of the Seas doesn't currently have onboard communication through the RC app, I would hope by 2020 it would. You wouldn't need Voom just to communicate via text if that's the case Another option is you can probably buy a cell plan with your provider for service while at sea. I have Sprint and they offer data plans onboard the ship while at sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
