CurtisM 9 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 My wife and I are sailing on the Symphony September 5th. What is the best price people have seen on the Deluxe Beverage Package? When we sailed on the Freedom last year we got $44/day pp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melski94 808 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 2020 prices are much higher than 2019 plus you are on Symphony and Oasis class tends to be more expensive in general. My March Harmony sailing the cheapest DBP has been $61, which is the most I've ever paid for it. That includes over Black Friday "sale". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ram cruiser 1 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 $57 for my Feb 22 Sailing. I did hear of a glitch over the summer that it dropped to $28 and some were able to lock in before they fixed it. Of coarse I missed out on that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,588 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 It is my belief that the days of forty-anything are long gone. Haven’t seen a drinks package in the $4X range since the first of the year ellcee and SpeedNoodles 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean79 152 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mariner for April 24th cruise has been bouncing from 65-69 PPPD, Mariner for Sept 14th sailing has been the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MinnesotaCruiser 58 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 $57 for my sailing last month. That was the best I saw after daily stalking. Definitely got my money’s worth and never had any ill effects the next morning (and I’m not a drinker) between a coffee in the morning, a few cocktails throughout the day, and unlimited water bottles. Boleros makes some of the best drinks on the ship- definitely do the coconut mojito! Ogilthorpe, SpeedNoodles and ellcee 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisM 9 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Right now ours is still at $65. Black Friday sale had it at $61. Just have to keep my eye on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The current "WOW sale (2/5 to 2/13) is only for cruises from February 15, 2020 through August 31, 2020 and certain ships as well. More than likely there will be another "WOW" sale before your departure date for the drink packages. I always secure mine on "Black Friday" but not all my other family members have so I'm watching for others and will post as soon as I see the next "WOW" sale. You can always purchase it now, then cancel and repurchase. On board the ship the rates will usually be higher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisM 9 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks everyone. Did that last year on Freedom using Matt's video advice. I purchased, canceled and repurchased several times, just wanted to avoid that this year.....LOL. I did that with the cruise price for our 2020 cruise to get best price and max shipboard credit.....think I irritated my travel agent.....LOL....should have expected same. Happy cruising.....may you all have fair winds and following seas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t seen a drinks package in the $4X range since the first of the year I'd agree with that considering NCL has upped theirs to $99pppd if not chosen as a perk. (Likely so they can get the higher 18% on those who do choose as a perk) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joshgates 106 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah, just checked and on the Harmony in July it's $61, still at $65 for December. Lowest I've seen is $57 ($69 with Voom) and I'll probably jump on it next time I see it in the $50's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saytheb 38 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was able to snag $57 for Symphony on Feb 15th as well during the last sale, sitting steady in the $60s otherwise during all of the other sales including now.. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,588 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm teetering on buying the DBP for our May Majesty cruise. It's currently at $51. The refreshment package (which I've already purchased) cost $19. So, it would cost an extra $32 PP/PD. With Dan drinking little to no alcohol these days, I just don't think it would be worth it. I did catch him (joke, of course) drinking a beer the other day but honestly, he has literally quit drinking almost altogether. I will have a drink if I want one, but really don't care that much about it, either. I think I will just stick with the refreshment package and resist the urge to take advantage of a good DBP price. It's only a bargain if you use it, right ? TALK ME OUT OF THIS ! ellcee and Ogilthorpe 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL No, I didn't. I purchased the refreshment pkg back when Dan wasn't drinking ANY alcohol and the price on the UBP hasn't come into earth orbit quite yet. If it comes down a bit more I might do it, though... SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
