WaterBaby 1 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Current deluxe drink package is $49 Is that a "good or bad price" This is my first cruise so I'm not sure what a reasonable price would be Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtread 219 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 The $52.00 price on our Liberty Christmas cruise hasn't changed in the 3 months I've been watching it. My plan is to hold off until Black Friday then move on it. Besides our two packages, I'll be paying for two others so I'm looking hard for a bargain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pima1988 1,072 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I don't think you will see it go under 49. I got mine for 47, but that was 6 months ago on Black Friday. I have not seen it below 49 since that time. WaterBaby 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buy it when you can and if it drops, you can always rebook. It's quick and easy. WaterBaby and mom2mybugs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weezie57 25 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Is the Black Friday sale the typical Friday before thanksgiving or some other Friday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 12,148 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yes, it is usually several days around that weekend after Thanksgiving. They will usually drive something for Cyber Monday too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I distinctly remember that this past year (could have been the case in prior years too but I wasn’t looking), the Black Friday sales started on Thanksgiving the same way most big box stores have it. I remember bc I was super happy since I had a cruise starting Black Friday where I didn’t have the internet package, but I was able to get all the cruise planner sales on our travel day.

Pima1988 1,072 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 For my cruise it actually showed up on Tuesday before Thanksgiving and went through Sunday. I remember purchasing on Sunday night, and thinking that if Cyber Monday deal was better we'd just cancel and re-book. It didn't go lower on Cyber Monday. @Weezie57 do you live in the US? I only ask because most Americans know Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. If you are not in the US, let's say you are in Canada, than RCL may not offer Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals in your country. Just like right now we are coming up to Memorial Day, than Father's Day and in July, the 4th, followed by Labor Day in Sept. Those days are big sales days in the US. spiralqueen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JennyB 330 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you know you want it, go ahead and buy it now. Then if/when the price drops, you can cancel/rebook at the lower price. Also, that locks you in to the price now, in case it goes up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vlgg 29 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Mine hasn't gone below $59 yet. We are sailing on Allure of the Seas December 22nd. Probably won't drop much because it is a holiday cruise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A holiday sailing is unlikely to put it on sale. I was shocked when my NAV Thanksgiving cruise went from $56 to $52. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leesam82 3 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Currently on my cruise planner for sailing on the Allure of the seas in Aug2019 out of Ft Lauderdale eastern Caribbean, I see it priced at $52 but every weekend i see RCL offering a discount of buy one get one 50% off. So prices wise if you have two adults in your state room goes down to $39 + gratuity. I'm still debating on if my wife and I should get the drinks package or not even with the discount. Once you add on the gratuity and taxes its a lot of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you don't get 1 at $52 and the other at $26, both are already discounted to $52 plus %18 gratuity. The 50% off is off of the "on board" price which is usually around $69 or higher. You can buy now at $52 and cancel and re-buy if you see it lower. I'm expecting to see a Memorial day sale (Discount), but depending on the date and ship the lowest since Black Friday has been $47PP/PN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YIPPEE !!!! Congratulations and Happy Birthday to your wife !! This is one of the last good deals that we got though Club Royale before they changed their comp upgrades rules. I think there will be a lot of casino folks on this cruise b/c it has been listed on the comp cruise list for MONTHS. So looking forward to it. Hope to meet you onboard.

KenCP 133 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 My Ultimate Drink Package dropped, I rebooked it and saved $80. My Unlimited Dining that I booked on Black Friday was still cheaper than the Memorial Day pricing. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cobra614 58 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 On my upcoming July Symphony cruise I've seen a price as high as $59pp. I bought it at $52pp, then saw it drop to $49pp. I just canceled and rebooked. I did see it drop one other time to $48pp, but didn't bother. One thing I did learn tho was keep checking RC`s prices. I,'ve saved $1000.00 on our Jr. suite cabin price from our original booking thru 3 price changes!!! Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jolly Ogre 517 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Nope...the drink package is still only 20% off for my Indy Dec sailing and it's still $56/day. The refreshment pkg is only 10% off and at $26/day. Not going to happen at that price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
