WAAAYTOOO Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I don't get the drink packages but I went into the Cruise Planner and happened to notice that, under the drinks packages option, there is no Ultimate Drink Package option to purchase. I thought maybe the UDP was just somehow missing from the tab header so I clicked on the "All Beverage Packages" link and it's not there, either. There IS a [apparently] limited time offer for a 20% discount on prepaid Premium Packages but nothing at all about an UDP. Anyone else notice this on their sailings ? My sailing is Freedom, June 26. BTW, there are also 8 VOOM options advertised, too. I believe that Freedom does have VOOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'd be willing to bet the omission of the UDP is a product of the site more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm sure you're right, Matt. I can't imagine that they're limiting sales of this very popular (and profitable, I'm sure) product ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffd99 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's also not on my Allure sailing for August. And they have the "sale" for the premium. Except that it isn't a 20 percent sale. It's a $2 sale. Yesterday premium was $49. I put it in my cart to get total price and it was around $402. Today I put the "20 percent off" sale into my cart and the total was $388. Now I was an English major but even I know that isn't 20 percent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'd be willing to bet the omission of the UDP is a product of the site more than anything. As Matt knows even on a small site like this blog thousands of lines of code. So to make a small change in one place requires changes in many places. Now if you upscale to a site as large as Royal has a single price change could involve changing a few thousand pages, one line of code is missed and it causes hundreds of issues. So I believe Matt's answer is really the correct one here, with the sales and promotional departments wanting changes, I think the IT department cannot keep up with all these changes and it results in errors and mistakes on the site.

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Makes sense. BTW, the Ultimate package is now appearing in my beverage options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
