Jolly Ogre Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I got mine on Black Friday 2019 for my Dec 2020 sailing...that being said every ship is different. Just keep checking your cruise planner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 If you are wondering when the drink packages show up to purchase, it depends on the sailing. But it usually shows up sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 ok, I couldn,t remember if it showed up at a specific time like 6 months out, etc. we're still aways out ( 11/21) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki007 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 i have a cruise booked on Oasis in December and can already buy the dining and drink packages. Log into the cruise planner everyday for a couple of weeks and see how the price fluctuates. You'll quickly see what the lowest price is going to be. Whether it says 50% off or 20% off onboard prices doesn't mean anything. just watch the per day price to get the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvie Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm new to the RC Blog so my apology if I'm asking this question in the wrong section. My husband and I were scheduled to cruise on Freedom of the Seas out of San Juan on March 28, 2020. This was going to be our 5th cruise and after our first cruise I realized that its best to book the drink package and other items before the cruise. Since the first cruise, I've been able to get what I consider the best price and I watch daily for deals, which we had for the March 22, 2020 cruise. We are now booked on the June 28 cruise and in looking at the deluxe beverage package, the cheapest price I've seen is $55.00 per day. Wow, that's way high from what I've paid in the past. Will the price go down at this point or will I need to accept that the 2020 cruise is now going to cost us more? We also booked another cruise in February 2021 as we had one date and ship in mind, with specific cabin in mind. I feel more confident that I will find a better beverage package for that cruise as it's further out. Am I too late in getting a great price on the deluxe beverage package for the upcoming June cruise? If anyone is able to answer this question or can point me in the right direct on the RC blog, I would sincerely appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Welcome to the blog, Alvie. I have noticed that, since the halt in cruising began, the Cruise Planner prices have gone up and remained there. There’s really no way to know whether there will be any “sales” forthcoming or not. We just have to keep checking. You are wise to check daily. We do the same. Hang in there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is book it at its price now. You can always cancel and rebook later if the price decreases, and buying it now protects against a price increase. Moreover, the price now will be cheaper than on the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean79 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 FWIW my June cruise for 3 days and Sept cruise for 4 days on the Mariner have been showing 65-69$ PPPD for the Deluxe Drink Package. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
