Is there any one that can give me a clue on when to look for the 30% discount to re on cruise planner. Thank you M First Hoski and SpeedNoodles 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,205 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I don’t think you can expect the drink package to be any lower than $34 PP/PD. That’s pretty low ! ehw51, Snotarni, S0nny and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Va4fam 211 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I agree with @WAAAYTOOO…..that's a fantastic price for the deluxe drink package. Better lock it in now before the interns get fired again. Frogfanatic and SpeedNoodles 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USFFrank 196 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Which drink package is that? Right now $34.00 is the going rate for the Refreshment Package on my Harmony of the Seas cruise in November, 2021. The price for that as well as the other drink packages will go down closer to your sailing date. You'll start getting emails about the sales if you opted in for them. Keep checking though, they can drop (and go up) at almost anytime. Around Thanksgiving time is a good time too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Matt always says, buy the package at the price you are willing to pay. Then, check your cruise planner frequently for sales, and when you see the price lower cancel & re-book.

melmar02 1,114 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 The current "sale" is only for cruises from Sept-Dec 2020. You'll probably see a "sale" for the month of your cruise around 5-8 months before the sail date. However, I keep putting sale in quotes because the regular/full price are not fixed and can change dramatically outside of a posted sale. I have seen better than sale prices when a sale isn't even going on. I wouldn't book the drink pkg yet, but I do start tracking them this far out (once a week or so). When the price drops to a level you are comfortable with, buy it. Keep tracking prices after that though because as the other posters said, you can cancel and repurchase.

FoxboroCruiser 101 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 $34 sounds great! Our 2021 Freedom price is $77... There’s no way that’s going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoxboroCruiser 101 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Ooh so sorry, I should have figured that out. The Refreshment Package is $34 for our cruise too. I wish the “sale” prices other people are seeing were offered on voyages 400+ days out as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it goes lower, cancel and re-book, but it hasn't been that low since I started watching it over five years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the sale prices for the refreshment pkg have been around $19 PP/PD. USFFrank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always get it for my wife, and I think the highest I ever paid was maybe $21-22 per day. You should be able to get it for the low-mid $20 range just keep checking as you get closer to your sailing date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
