DBP dilemma

[Woody]

We had a FCC for £300 from a CWC for a cruise that was due to leave on Sunday. Decided last week to put it down as a deposit on a 7 night cruise leaving fron Southampton on the 28th May 2021. We've had a CP sale start today with the alcohol package showing at £41.04 pppd down from £54. My dilemma is do I buy it now as haven't sailed on RCCL for a few years but this seems like a good price and hoping things will improve by May next year

CP purchases are always refundable. I would by it now at that great price because who knows if it will go lower. I regret not getting a beverage package on my Oct 2021 Allure  as now the current sale price has doubled.

That's what I was thinking I can't seem to remember it going that low 2 years ago

Always lock in a low price when you see one! If it does go lower between now and your cruise, you can always cancel and repurchase at the lower price.

I took the bait last night and got it, I sold it to my hubby by saying it's only 3 alcoholic drinks a day more than the refreshment package which is £18.24 pppd

Received an email from a TA saying DBP from £35 pppd on Anthem out of Southampton 2021, went on the cruise planner and it was £34.96 pppd so saved nearly £90, so anyone who's hoping to sail on Anthem next year it may be worth checking.

I purchased the DBP+1 Voom for our May Serenade Alaska cruise for $48 PP/PD.  The DBP only is $40 PP/PD.  I realize that the Voom is highly unreliable on Serenade in Alaska but it is what it is.  Pretty good price, IMO.
