JG1209 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi. I know it is almost always cheaper to purchase things ahead of time.. but does anyone have an idea about what the deluxe drink package runs if purchased on the ship? I have an OBC that I can use on the ship- that is not available by using the Cruise Planner. I know it varies ship to ship and date to date.. but I was just wondering a ballpark price per day. And yes, I will get my money's worth if I purchase it on this trip. Its a best friends/girls trip/celebrating 40th birthdays... yes, it will be that kind of trip LOL Thanks SteveinSC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Depending on the ship, length, etc it could be from $67-86, including or without the 18% gratuity. I would factor in the higher end amount and see if it is worth it to wait. There are all sorts of things that OBC could be used for such as casino, excursions and specialty dining that might be better financially.

sk8erguy1978 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Login to the cruise planner to get the price for current sale. sale price / (100 - sale percentage) = non sale price. Non sale price x 2 x number of days + 18%. That price would be a great assumption of worst case. Example: $59 a day per person at 20% off for a week long cruise. $59 / .80 = $73.75. $73.75 x 2 x 7 = $1032.50 $1032.50 * .18 (18%) = $185.85 + $1032.50 = $1218.35. (That's for two). Hope this helps.

KenCP Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 You would definitely be better off buying it before you depart and use your onboard credit for other things such as tips, laundry, souvenirs or anything else on board.

When best friends of 25 years have the chance to go celebrate their 40th birthdays--- without the kids and husbands.... we will take full advantage of the free time!

PRC Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 99% of the time it is cheaper to book ahead of time via Cruiseplanner. That said, D+ gets 30% off onboard price, and PIN gets 40%. If you are one of those, it's usually better to wait until onboard. As stated above, always do the math, as things change constantly.
